Head of Product Design

Amplitude Overview

With powerful AI Agents embedded across our platform, teams can analyze, test, and optimize user experiences faster than ever. Ranked #1 across multiple categories in G2s Winter 2026 Report, Amplitude is the best-in-class solution for product, data, and marketing teams.

Organizational Values

As an organization, we deliver for our customers by living our values. We operate from a place of humility, take ownership of problems and successes, approach challenges with a growth mindset, and put our customers at the center of everything we do.

Commitment to Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

Amplitude believes that diversity enables the creation of better products, improves the ability to solve complex problems, and drives more powerful solutions. We strive to create an environment of inclusion—one focused on psychological safety, empathy, and human connection—that will allow employees of all backgrounds to thrive.

Design Leadership Role

Amplitude is moving fast, from product analytics to an AI-native platform with agents embedded across the product, used by over 4,700 companies. We are looking for a strong design leader with a builder mindset to lead a 15-person design team through the next phase of growth.

This is a player-coach role. You manage and grow the team. You also stay in the actual work: elevating quality through feedback, pairing with designers on the hardest UX puzzles, and asking the right questions to unlock the crux of the problem.

Designers are embedded in autonomous pods and need to keep shipping fast. Maintaining speed without compromising on coherence and quality is the job. If that tension sounds like an exciting problem to solve rather than a contradiction to complain about, keep reading.

What youll do

  • Build the team: Hire, grow, and retain a high-performing design team, identifying people who will thrive and raise the bar at Amplitude. Develop them through direct, specific feedback. Help someone whos stuck get moving again.
  • Set direction: Drive the design strategy for Amplitudes product suite: Core Amplitude, Statsig, and Wave (a proactive agent that helps teams build self-improving products). Help define how agents and humans work together in the same workflows.
  • Champion craft: Strong visual design builds trust, clarity, and delight in the era of AI. Lead by example, elevating the quality of the product through exceptional design execution.
  • Hold a high bar: AI makes it cheap to ship UI changes, which makes it easy for quality to erode quietly. Set a clear standard for what good looks like and enforce it without becoming an approval bottleneck.
  • Stay in production: You believe that “the design” is what ships. Code is the material that brings the design to life. Push on the details, the papercuts, the edge cases.
  • Speak for the customer: Show up in leadership conversations as the voice of the customer, pushing for solutions that genuinely serve their needs and reduce complexity.

What were looking for

  • Youve managed senior, independent IC designers and earned their respect through product and craft judgment.
  • Youve shipped products that moved real customer and business metrics, fast.
  • Youve created (not inherited) structure inside of a messy, high-growth organization.
  • Youve shipped AI-native experiences and use AI tools in your own practice today.
  • Your portfolio shows both systems-level thinking and pixel-level craft.
  • Bonus: Youve designed for both technical and non-technical users and can hold that tension without compromising the experience for either.
  • Bonus: Experience with Analytics, Experimentation, or Developer tools.

What this is not

  • Not an executive role that manages up and delegates down. Youre deep in the work.
  • Not a pure IC role. Youre accountable for a team of 15.
  • Not design ops. Your job isnt to add rituals, templates, or governance.
  • Not the approval committee. Pods keep moving; you create coherence without becoming the bottleneck.

Our Values

At Amplitude, our values guide how we show up for one another and for our customers:

  • Humility: We operate from a place of empathy and openness, seeking to understand many points of view.
  • Ownership: We take the initiative to solve problems that drive our shared company success.
