Requirements
Amplitude is the leading AI analytics platform, helping over 4,700 customers—including Atlassian, Burger King, NBCUniversal, and Square—build better products and digital experiences.
With powerful AI Agents embedded across our platform, teams can analyze, test, and optimize user experiences faster than ever.
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.
This role is focused on enterprise-level problems and IT infrastructure security, not securing ML pipelines, models, or AI product features. What You'll Do
Enterprise Security Operations: Manage and execute day-to-day enterprise security operations across corporate systems, including SaaS security posture, IdP, endpoint, vulnerability management, and access governance, leveraging AI-assisted tooling to accelerate triage, analysis, and documentation at scale.
You will coordinate and execute access reviews across the enterprise to enforce least-privilege remediation, using AI tooling to summarize findings and draft stakeholder follow-ups.
AI Security & Governance: Be crucial in defining AI security by reviewing AI tool permissions, connector/integration configurations, and data-sharing settings.
You will build and maintain AI-powered security automation—designing and operating agentic pipelines to automate repeatable security workflows (like app approval triage and access review summarization) and ensuring the security architecture of those pipelines is sound.
Technical Skills: Ability to regularly write code or scripts (Python, Bash, or similar) to automate reviews, build detections, or debug configuration issues without looping in engineering.
AI Curiosity: A genuine curiosity about AI security is essential, and you are already thinking about risks from LLMs, agents, and AI-native tooling. Nice-to-Haves •
Experience with DLP, SaaS security reviews, or third-party vendor risk processes.
Familiarity with AI tool governance: acceptable use, tool inventories, and data classification in AI contexts.
