Design at Amplitude

01

About Amplitude

Amplitude helps teams build better products by understanding what their customers and users are doing (analytics), where they're getting stuck (session replays), and what new features and improvements they want to see built (surveys, feedback, experiments).

02

Our Northstar

Our audacious goal is to enable self-improving products. Products that can sense customer patterns, decide on improvements, and build those improvements.

03

The Work

Designers at Amplitude have a ton of ownership. You'll own design for a large part of the product, help shape product strategy, and sweat the details from idea to what's shipped to production.

04

Design Challenge

Our product is technical and data-centric by nature. But we have to design for novices and power users. Designers need strong systems thinking skills and deep domain understanding to simplify complex workflows and UIs.

05

AI Forward

Our team is AI forward with designers regularly shipping code to production. We use the latest tools like Cursor, Claude Code, V0, Figma Make and more to prototype and build new experiences.

06

Values

Amplitude has four company values that shape design: humility (low ego), ownership (make it happen), growth mindset (be comfortable being uncomfortable), and customer centricity (talk to customers, focus on their needs).

Open Roles

We have a lovely HQ in SF, across from the Moscone Center, where most of our designers work from 2-3 days a week. For some roles we can consider exceptional candidates based in NYC (where we have an office as well) or remote US.
