Site Reliability Engineering Manager - Services

| Greater Boston Area

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.

View Story

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.

Employee Engagement Program Manager

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!

What is your vision for the company?

My first order of business at Klaviyo is to put in the strategy, structure, and operating mechanisms to allow us to scale. We’ve articulated a multi-year strategy that is ambitious and motivating; the company’s potential is so much bigger than what it looks like from the outside-in. Now we have to execute against it. It’s an exciting moment!
