Company mission

To give online brands direct ownership of their consumer data and interactions, empowering them to turn transactions with customers into long-term relationships—at scale.

Role

Who you are

  • Previous exposure to iOS and/or Android native development (at least one required)
  • Preferably Swift and Kotlin language experience
  • Helpful to have experience in Python, Django, React and Typescript for core Klaviyo work related to the project (not required)
  • Self-starter - As a member of the team, we are looking for someone who can bring with them a level of expertise in greenfield mobile development
  • Adaptability - We will be working not just in native SDKs but also backend and frontend Klaviyo stacks, dev tooling and possible expansion into tertiary SDKs in the future
  • Ambition - With the many directions the team could go after the launch of in-app messaging, it’ll be great to have people that can take an idea and have the ambition to headline it in the future
  • Learning - Always learning is a value at Klaviyo and this role will require someone excited to learn new technologies and expose themselves to new approaches

Desirable

  • Experience in BOTH iOS and Android would be nice but not expected
  • Python/Django knowledge
  • React/Typescript knowledge
  • Experience working in highly scalable systems
  • Experience building deployment automation solutions

What the job involves

  • Over the last year the Mobile Push team at Klaviyo have introduced a new messaging channel to the product in the form of push notifications
  • Over 2024 we plan to expand the team and continue iterating on our available feature set with the adoption of a new form of communication, through in-app messaging
  • In support of this, we are building out our Mobile Push Engineering team and looking for additional team members to help with this effort
  • The team focuses on building products that enable Klaviyo customers to send push notifications to their customers at high scale, while creating the inaugural release for our new highly customizable in-app messaging product feature
  • This will offer Klaviyo customers with a much more complete product package with the inclusion of a new marketing channel for mobile and help enable the company to secure a new market
  • As a member of the Mobile Push team, you will work on extensive greenfield projects with immeasurable business impact
  • We are looking for a software engineer to tackle the additional SDK features we will need to support in-app messaging, to expand the push notifications feature suite, and creating processes, and working in a highly collaborative team to own end to end projects
  • Architect and build new features for mobile SDK’s on both iOS and Android Devices
  • Work in the Django framework to help maintain and scale a push sending pipeline
  • Exposure to React for frontend development and adding related UIs

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.
