Amplitude is seeking an experienced Staff IT Security Engineer to design and build controls that define how Amplitude leverages frontier AI tooling at scale. This is a high-scope, hands-on position focused entirely on corporate and enterprise security, specifically tackling the risks that AI tools and AI-enabled workflows introduce into our environment.
