Scaling Engineering Teams: Insights from Amplitude's EVP of Engineering

In an environment where your company will win or lose based on product quality empowering your development teams with a strong ownership mentality over is critical.

This week, we’re joined by Shadi Rostami, the Senior and Executive Vice President of Engineering at Amplitude.

We explore how Amplitude has built a strong engineering culture by empowering their development teams to own the product process from end-to-end. This ownership culture is boosted by strong customer empathy fueled through internal dogfooding, strong goals focused on improving engineering performance by streamlining the developer experience, and a focus on enabling both technical and non-technical teams.

Join as we discuss:

  • How Amplitude creates a culture of strong ownership in their engineering teams
  • Resolving the tension between the product and engineering teams
  • Improving developer experiences as product grows in scale.
