Amplified is an American company with subsidiaries in Romania and Nicaragua. Ian Panchevre, our CEO, founded Amplified while pursuing his MBA at Stanford.
We’ve spent most of our careers building tech startups, and we know all too well that to successfully build and commercialize a new product, you need to surround yourself with startup professionals: designers, engineers who develop, PMs, strategists, and data scientists.
We also know that it’s hard to build a world-class startup team. We often felt like we were spinning our wheels trying to build a team rather than focusing on our customers and their needs. So we outsourced parts of our businesses to contractors and agencies, both onshore and onshore. And we got screwed not once, not twice...
Through it all, we hated feeling like we were trapped in transactional relationships with vendors that were more interested in their invoices than in our success. So we embarked on a mission to build the type of organization that we, ourselves, would have wanted to work with: A true technical partner that was honest, reliable, and able to grow with us; a team that allowed us to get to market faster, cheaper, and with a higher quality product.
Ian and the Amplified team have been working together for over 10 years, going all the way back to Ian’s first startup, which launched a mobile app in 2011! Today, Amplified’s American office is in San Antonio, TX, but our team works remotely in Europe and Latin America. We have over 35 team members from both Romania and Nicaragua, making us a truly international team.

As a Principal Software Engineer, you will lead engineering teams and drive successful product outcomes for Amplified’s clients and internal projects. You are an elite software developer with a full-stack skillset and experience architecting and maintaining complex systems. In addition to solving complex engineering problems, you will also guide and unblock the broader engineering team to ensure internal alignment and timely delivery. You are a mentor; you enjoy supporting junior colleagues and watching them grow into more senior contributors. You are a strong written and verbal communicator; you are clear and detailed in your communication, and you would rather over-communicate than under-communicate with others. You are also naturally proactive; you want to get ahead of emerging problems and solve them before they become bigger issues. This role is ideal for someone passionate about both leadership and driving technical excellence within a team.
This role is a great fit for an experienced software developer who has a genuine joy for writing code and a demonstrable history of engineering complex systems. You are a full-stack developer who can comfortably work on both the backend and frontend of a web or mobile application. You can also roll up your sleeves and contribute with DevOps and data engineering efforts. You may not have much hands-on experience with advanced technologies - like artificial intelligence, spatial computing, and blockchains - but you’d love to have an opportunity to learn more about these domains and expand your skillset. You are a leader who communicates clearly and proactively, mentors junior colleagues, and thinks seriously about product success beyond strict code production.
As a UI/UX Designer, you’ll help shape intuitive and engaging experiences from initial concept through to polished UI. You’ll be involved in every step of the design process, from research and wireframing to prototyping and final execution. Working closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders, you’ll play a key role in delivering thoughtful, high-impact design solutions that real users interact with every day.
This role is a great fit for a midcareer software developer who is ready to sharpen their technical skillset and ship products that make real-world impact. You have an engineering degree, as well as at least three years of professional software engineering experience. You are either a full-stack developer, or are eager to become one. You also are excited to work with modern web technologies as well as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, spatial computing, and blockchain/crypto. You are a builder who is collaborative, curious, and determined to bring ideas to life with code. Although you are ready to contribute on Day 1, you also recognize there is more to learn and thus you are eager to ask questions, take on new challenges, and grow into a more senior role.
As a product manager, you’ll manage the product development lifecycle from initial concept through launch. You will work collaboratively and cross-functionally with fellow Amplifiers and clients. Your work will touch all aspects of the end-to-end product lifecycle, including: initial market and customer research, early ideation and brainstorming, requirements gathering and MVP scoping, collaboration with the design and engineering teams, launching to the market, measuring and analyzing product performance, and iterating based on market feedback and evolving product strategy. Amplified product managers play a key role, not only in making sure the team stays aligned and coordinated, but also in securing a strong relationship with external product stakeholders, namely our clients. If you’re highly organized, proactive, communicative, and excited to build next generation consumer and enterprise software, we’d love to hear from you.
