Klaviyo is a product-driven company, and we’re passionate about user experience and design. 

The Senior Product Designer will join a team and be involved in every aspect of the product conceptualization and development process. Responsibilities range from brainstorming the next great product, prototyping the experience, pairing with engineering and product management during agile development, tweaking pixels right before launch, and working with customers to perform usability testing. You will be expected to utilize your full range of product design, interaction design, and visual design skills, and – individually – you will own the experience for at least one area/feature of the Klaviyo product.

You’ll additionally work with the design team to improve the overall user experience of the Klaviyo product as well as its individual interaction patterns and components. On top of that, you will work to grow the quality of the product as well as the design capabilities of the company and agile teams.

An Insider's view of Klaviyo

What's something quirky about your company?

There are a lot of quirky things about Klaviyo - from our love for Nicolas Cage to our need to use gifs and emojis in any and all communications. But the quirkiest, or most unexpected, thing about Klaviyo is how kind, genuine, and caring each person is here. Every day you’ll have the opportunity to work with folks that truly care.

Natalie

Senior New Hire Specialist

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

One of the great things about working at Klaviyo is that I get to work with amazing people from across the organization. While working in Finance isn’t intuitively a role that involves a lot of collaboration - Klaviyo’s finance team has regular interactions and team syncs with Sales Ops, Customer Support and the People Team!

Tai

Senior Billing Specialist

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We give people the means to learn, be it an unlimited budget for books or whatever is going to make you better. We’re going to give engineers the ability to go to conferences of their choice — this is a deeply personal thing that people need to be passionate about and be able to learn.
