Why You Should Join the Onboarding Team

The Product Expansion / Activation team is focused on improving the early experience of Klaviyo for new customers. We work diligently to improve the rate at which customers are successfully setting up their Klaviyo account and gaining value from the platform. Engineers use data to discover opportunities, implement A/B tests, and work across the product to iteratively improve UX and reduce friction for new customers. We are looking for great generalist software engineers with a passion for the experience layer and an interest in growing a user‑base and building a great customer onboarding pipeline and experience.

How You Will Make a Difference

Drive the technical design and lead the implementation of high‑impact user‑experience improvements across Klaviyo, focusing on areas critical to new customer success and adoption. Own the entire project lifecycle, working through ambiguity and requirements refinement to execution and delivery.

Own the end‑to‑end experimentation process, contribute to strategy definition, architect and implement A/B tests to validate product hypotheses, and interpret data to drive significant iterative improvements. Be accountable for the quality and operational health of features delivered.

Serve as a technical leader and liaison, collaborating proactively with partners across teams to define and prioritize key technical initiatives and shape the long‑term roadmap.

Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers, elevating experimentation, development, and operational practices, ensuring contributions consistently leave the product area better than before.

Define the architectural approach and technical strategy, anticipating scalability and reliability needs, leveraging AI agents where appropriate, and ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and adhere to best practices for security, performance, and maintainability.

Work from our Boston HQ at least three days a week.

Who You Are

Have an extensive background in full‑stack software engineering, with deep understanding of Klaviyo’s systems and the ability to architect, deliver, and maintain high‑scale, user‑facing features and supporting APIs.

Demonstrated ability to drive technical strategy and improvement using a data‑driven mindset, leading to measurable business results and upholding best practices.

Experience with AI‑driven software delivery practices and championing them, a passion for continuous learning and mentoring, and the ability to guide others to project success.
