Our work sits at the intersection of security, infrastructure, and software engineering. We build cloud-native platforms and services that are reliable, secure, and performant at global scale, forming the foundation that Klaviyo engineers rely on every day.
This role is for engineers who enjoy building modern distributed systems, care about security and reliability, and want to have real impact across a large engineering organization.

- Design, build, and maintain cloud-native security services used across Klaviyo
- Own meaningful components and services end to end, from implementation through production operation
- Improve the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of infrastructure security systems
- Collaborate with senior engineers on system design and architecture, contributing ideas and technical solutions
- Identify performance, reliability, and security issues in distributed systems and drive improvements
- Work extensively with technologies such as Python, Golang, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern data stores
- Participate actively in design reviews, code reviews, and whiteboarding sessions
- Contribute to operational excellence through monitoring, alerting, and incident response
- Participate in an on-call rotation with a focus on learning, prevention, and reducing operational toil
- Build tooling, automation, and documentation that improve developer experience and security posture
- Partner with product-facing and platform engineers to ship impactful, secure solutions
Who you are
