About the Role & Team Every AI insight, every experiment, every cohort at Amplitude starts with a query. Our in-house OLAP engine, Nova , processes trillions of events in real time — turning raw behavioral data into fast, trustworthy answers that power decisions for thousands of product teams worldwide. We’re entering a world where AI agents don’t just assist product teams — they ship features, run experiments, and make prioritization calls autonomously. What makes that possible is agents’ ability to verify their work against real product data continuously. That makes Nova the critical infrastructure in the loop, and as non-stop agents become the main source of queries, the demand on Nova’s throughput, correctness, and operational rigor grows dramatically. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer who wants to go deep on both the engine internals and the infrastructure underneath it. You’ll work across the full stack of a modern OLAP system — query planning and execution, columnar storage and encoding, distributed compute, caching, and cloud infrastructure — while driving meaningful improvements to performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability at scale. You’ll influence technical direction through your work, your design reviews, and your mentorship of other engineers on a team of ~10. This role is ideal for someone who finds real satisfaction in making a complex distributed system faster, cheaper, and more reliable — and who wants to do that work on a system that directly powers the product experience for thousands of customers. What You’ll Do Build and evolve core query engine infrastructure Work across Nova's query execution engine and distributed compute layer: query planning, columnar storage formats, encoding and compression, caching, and cluster-level resource management. Design and implement new capabilities as Nova expands to support more warehouse-imported data types, such as metrics, profiles, and dimensions. Design for high-throughput automated quer

Amplitude's Cloud Platform team builds the systems that every Amplitude engineer relies on every day to ship code — and we're rebuilding them for the AI era. As a Staff Platform Engineer, you'll set technical direction for the platform across teams, lead our highest-complexity and highest-leverage initiatives, and shape a platform where AI agents are first-class users alongside humans: kicking off deploys, opening pull requests against infrastructure, and triaging incidents, so a single engineer can get the throughput of a team. You'll operate across team boundaries — partnering with product engineering, fellow Staff+ engineers, and engineering leadership to make Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure effortless across the entire engineering org. You'll build the self-service automation, shared standards, and scalable AWS and GCP infrastructure that let dozens of product teams ship faster, safer, and with less cognitive load — and you'll multiply the engineers around you while you do it. Key Responsibilities Set technical direction — shape platform and domain-level technical strategy that improves developer experience, reliability, security, and cost, and lead the high-complexity, cross-cutting initiatives that deliver it with measurable impact for the organization. Drive clarity through ambiguity. Take on the most loosely-defined problems, validate the critical assumptions early, and create alignment with stakeholders across teams so others can move quickly and confidently — driving cross-team decisions to a timely close and escalating when needed. Build the AI-augmented platform. Design org-wide tooling, guardrails, and policy-as-code that help every engineer get more out of AI-assisted development — infra primitives an LLM can safely reason about and PR against, automated review, and standards that hold as AI changes how code gets written. Own Infrastructure-as-Code standards for Kubernetes, AWS, and GCP using Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, and emerging tooling — setti

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. As the Staff Product Manager, Data Platform at Vanta, you will be responsible for product strategy and direction for Vanta’s data platform. You’ll sit between the core platform and feature teams, driving the roadmap for transforming how we fetch, store, and use data from customers and 3rd parties at scale. This platform directly enables customer and business outcomes, and backs Vanta’s products and experiences. This is a highly impactful, technical role at the center of how Vanta works and meets customer needs at real scale. Vanta manages data from over 16,000 customers and is rapidly scaling daily. You’ll be part of Vanta’s Automation group, which owns how customers discover and connect to other platforms through integrations, use that data to power product experiences and tests, drive customers toward compliance-related security outcomes, and ultimately generate the evidence required for audit.

Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. As a Staff Product Manager, AI Foundations at Vanta, you will build the core AI capabilities that power Vanta’s AI product experiences: the agent harness our agents are built on, and the quality and evaluation stack that makes them trustworthy. The AI pillar is making Vanta the intelligence layer for security and compliance work, wherever that work starts. We build the AI products and foundations that work across Vanta: a cohesive first-party Vanta Agent experience, headless surfaces like MCP and CLI that bring Vanta into tools like Claude Code and Codex, and the shared capabilities that let every team ship high-trust AI products. This role sits behind Vanta’s customer-facing AI experiences. Today, every team shipping AI features has to answer the same hard questions on their own: how to define quality, how to evaluate it, and how to know a change is safe to ship. You will turn those answers into shared foundations, so the AI experiences our customers rely on get better and more trustworthy over time. What you’ll do as a Staff Product Manager, AI Foundations at Vanta: Own the strategy and roadmap for Vanta’s core AI capabilities: the agent harness and the AI quality and evaluation stack Live in agent traces to build intuition for how customers actually use our AI products, and turn that into the highest-leverage improvements Make Vanta’s AI products win on quality: build golden datasets, automated evaluators aligned to expert judgment, and self-serve tooling so PMs, subject-matter experts, and designers can run evals without an engineer in the loop Scale the agent harness: shape the core capabilities Vanta’s agents are built on

As Vanta grows across GRC, Trust, and new product areas, and as AI and agentic experiences become a first-class part of the product, Design Systems is increasingly responsible for a harder problem than static component consistency: building a system that can flex for AI-driven, runtime-composed UI and agent chat and canvas experiences, without losing the craft and coherence that makes Alpaca trustworthy across the org. This role sits at that intersection. You'll help define how a design system stays foundational when the product itself is becoming more dynamic and model-aware. What you’ll do as a Staff Product Designer at Vanta: Lead the strategy, evolution, and execution of Alpaca, ensuring it scales with the needs of a rapidly growing, increasingly AI-driven product organization Extend the design system to support AI and agent product patterns, including agent chat and canvas experiences and components that need to adapt based on runtime or model context Partner with product designers and engineers across every product team to define, document, and ship new components, patterns, and guidelines Establish and evolve governance models, contribution frameworks, and quality standards that let every designer at Vanta build consistently, including for AI-nat
