Software Engineer II, Data Warehouse

About The Role & Team

The Data Warehouse team builds the systems that connect Amplitude to the broader data ecosystem — import connectors that bring data in from external platforms (Snowflake, Azure Blob Storage, S3, Databricks, and more), and export infrastructure that pushes data back out to the tools customers already use. We also own the configuration layer that manages the lifecycle of those connections and credentials.

As a Software Engineer II on the Data Warehouse team, you'll help build and scale the systems that power these integrations. You'll tackle real infrastructure challenges — extreme throughput, millisecond-level latency, close-to-zero downtime — and collaborate closely with Product, Design, and customers to shape what we build next.

Our stack includes Java, Kafka, Temporal, DynamoDB, Amazon S3, GCS, Snowflake, Kubernetes, and Terraform. You'll bring your ideas to a group of curious, driven engineers who care deeply about the craft.
