Role
Who you are
- Experienced at building and maintaining platform tooling at a SaaS company. Ideally, in the frontend platform space
- Several years of professional experience with React and ideally Typescript
- You have successfully led a team as an Engineering Manager with highly experienced engineers that are possibly more technically experienced than yourself

- You have hired a successful team member before
- You have mentored an individual to become a technical leader on the team

What the job involves
- The Web Platform team owns all the ways we build, ship, and test frontend code at Klaviyo

- You can look forward to being a part of a highly technical team with significant domain expertise
- We currently leverage a well organized monorepo that is leveraged across the organization that deploys 50+ times a day
- The team also owns and orchestrates a GraphQL backend for frontend service to invest in strong end-to-end typing across our stack
- As we look toward the next 6 months we aim to focus on improved “commit to ship” timing, reliability and monitoring tooling, and platform web vitals by revamping how we render and deliver assets to our customers
- You collaborate closely with the leaders in our Frontend Platform organization to craft a vision and strategy to help us build a best in class platform for our end customers and engineers
- You will be responsible for hiring new engineering team members as we continue to grow our team
- You will be responsible for managing a team that has success in operating in high parallel against projects
- As an Engineering Manager, you will own day-to-day operations, help the engineers on your team grow their careers

Our take
Klaviyo is a marketing firm helping growth-focused eCommerce brands drive more sales with super-targeted, highly relevant email, Facebook and Instagram marketing campaigns. From personalised newsletters to automated emails when customers abandon their shopping carts, the marketing automation platform makes it easy for businesses to capture, store, analyze, and predictively use their own data to drive measurable, high-value outcomes.
Klaviyo's CEO, Bialecki, believes that the main problem with e-mail marketing today is that there is a divide between two kinds of tools: analytics tools that help you understand what people are doing on a website, such as what products they are considering, and messaging tools that send them a marketing e-mail. Operating primarily within the retail and eCommerce industry, Klaviyo aims to solve this by offering a tool that brings together analytics and messaging. This allows companies to bring all of their first-party data into a single platform to get a deep understanding of their customers and then activate that data to deliver highly-targeted, personalised communications through email and SMS. In the process, Klaviyo's customers get a deep understanding of their consumers.
Klaviyo is a fast-growing company mainly due to its business model - the firm offers a concrete ROI for Klaviyo’s clients if the software persuades customers to make purchases by treating different types of customers differently. An IPO in 2023 has led to Klaviyo's release of Klaviyo AI, which empowers businesses to unlock revenue-driving opportunities and deliver exceptional customer experiences across channels. Still in its early days of public listing, it will be interesting to see how Klaviyo fares in the years to come.
