It’s a bold aim, and one that needs both a dynamic team and a very different way of working.
That’s why we want people who can weave their unique skills, experience and character into a global team that learns, shares, grows and succeeds together.
Our people are all stewards of the business, helping us to win through care, commitment and conviction – and in return we open up a whole new world of flexibility around where, when and how you work.
It’s an exciting time to be part of Amplience. We have new leadership, new goals and new opportunities. So let’s find out where you fit in…

Key Responsibilities
At a high level, we’re a SaaS product company and we build services that major retailer and high street brands rely on to create, manage, and serve their content online. That means we have some juicy engineering problems to solve. On the one hand building high performance, zero-downtime edge services that serve more that 4 exabytes of images, video and content each year, and on the other hand we have complex information management and coordination problems to solve so brands can plan and execute their campaigns quickly and reliably.
Our teams are distributed, cross-functional, and self-organising, and they’re responsible for planning, designing, building, testing, and deploying the services they work on. We believe in using the right tool for the job, so we have a variety of tech used in different situations, like Java, Typescript, Cassandra, MongoDB, DynamoDB, etc, all on AWS.
You’ll also:
Write clean, high quality code using practises like TDD, SOLID principles, and pair programming.
Use Continuous Delivery and Infrastructure as Code techniques to make building, deploying, and managing systems easier, faster, and less error prone.
Learn, debate, and then apply the latest technology and techniques to solve serious engineering problems.
Continuously seek to incrementally improve the tools, techniques, processes, and practices you use everyday.
Help build cloud-native systems in AWS.
Make sure our systems are reliable and scalable.
