Site Reliability Engineering Manager - Services
At Klaviyo, we value the unique backgrounds, experiences and perspectives each Klaviyo (we call ourselves Klaviyos) brings to our workplace each and every day. We believe everyone deserves a fair shot at success and appreciate the experiences each person brings beyond the traditional job requirements. If you’re a close but not exact match with the description, we hope you’ll still consider applying.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat system operations as a software engineering problem. The mission of the Site Reliability Engineering group is to provide services, tooling, and guidance to Klaviyo's product engineers to make them more productive and ensure their services are sufficiently reliable, scalable, and secure.
The Services Site Reliability team provides a product suite that empowers our engineers to self-service standardized, repeatable infrastructure patterns to reliably build and ship their product(s). These patterns are constructed, maintained, and supported by Platform. If engineers use this suite, they will not need to re-invent patterns or tools (e.g. logging, monitoring, artifact generation) or learn the implementation details of these patterns/tools.
