Engineering Manager (Data Engineering)
About The Position
Amplitude is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Data Infrastructure team within Statsig Experiment at Amplitude. This role involves leading a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, data engineers, and data scientists responsible for the systems that power experimentation at scale. The team's responsibilities include data ingestion (collecting and importing experiment exposures, custom events, OpenTelemetry data, and real user monitoring data), data computation (building distributed systems to transform raw data into experiment results), and the stats engine (developing statistical methods for trustworthy decisions from experiments). This is a unique management role requiring a strong data science and statistical foundation to connect experimentation methodology with scalable production systems. The manager will help set technical and scientific direction, translating research into customer-usable capabilities. Collaboration with data scientists, engineers, product managers, and customers is key to advancing experimentation.
Requirements
- A strong data science background, with hands-on experience in experimentation, statistics, or causal inference. Experience solely in data engineering is not sufficient for this role.
- Experience leading teams (10-15 team members) that build and productionize statistically rigorous, data-intensive products.
- Familiarity with experimentation methods such as variance reduction, sequential testing, Bayesian inference, causal effects modeling, or heterogeneous treatment effects.
- Experience building large-scale data ingestion and distributed computation systems across cloud and data warehouse environments.
- The ability to connect statistical innovation, data architecture, and customer needs to define a compelling experimentation roadmap.
Nice To Haves
- An advanced degree in statistics, mathematics, computer science, economics, or another quantitative field.
- Experience with experimentation platforms, feature management systems, product analytics, or machine learning infrastructure.
- Experience building warehouse-native products or executing computation within Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or similar environments.
- Experience supporting experimentation for large-scale consumer products, B2B products, marketplaces, social networks, or other settings with complex units of analysis.
Responsibilities
- Lead and grow the team responsible for Statsig’s data ingestion, experiment computation, and stats engine.
- Define the technical and scientific strategy for advancing experimentation across both Statsig Cloud and warehouse-native deployments.
- Partner with data scientists and engineers to turn new statistical and causal inference methods into scalable, reliable product capabilities.
- Evolve our data and computation architecture to support increasingly complex experiment designs, metrics, and customer datasets.
- Engage with customers to understand their experimentation challenges and translate them into platform and methodology improvements.
