Today, there is a chronic and pervasive customer data problem -- one that’s preventing some of the world’s most loved brands from understanding and engaging their customers through meaningful and captivating customer experiences. Amperity has invented a way to solve this problem with the horsepower of a distributed data infrastructure and the intelligence of best-in-class machine learning algorithms and techniques. Amperity frees, connects, and makes customer data usable so brands can create extraordinary customer experiences at scale. This approach unleashes the creative potential of Amperity users, allowing them to excel at what they do and bring their best ideas to life.
Amperity is an early stage technology company, venture-backed by the early investors of Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Spotify, Concur, FlipKart and many more. Our team of successful, repeat entrepreneurs is focused on building a company composed of top-tier talent and a suite of disruptive products that drive tremendous value for our customers and the consumers they serve.
Interesting Problems
- The integrations team at Amperity (known as “Pipes”) specifically focuses on making connections to customer data, wherever it lives, in whatever schema and format the customer uses, going in and coming out of the platform. This team finds general-purpose engineering solutions to this complex “NxM” problem through growing individual integrations into powerful and elegant systems.
- Specifically, you will focus on learning about customer needs, creating integrations to various customer APIs and file storage services, and understanding best uses of each system. Also, you get to "Think 10x" and engineer the infrastructure to support generic approaches to the problem class and ensure quality of data going in and coming out of Amperity.
