About the Role
Our team is looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to lead key initiatives that will enhance our product offerings and support our company's growth. In this role, you'll play a crucial part in shaping outcomes by developing innovative end-to-end solutions using both front-end and back-end technologies.

Every team member is expected to take radical ownership-rolling up their sleeves, collaborating across disciplines, and pushing beyond traditional role boundaries to make things happen. Success in this role means delivering exceptional work that sets the standard for velocity and results company-wide, while helping shape Klaviyo's future through experimentation, creativity, and executional excellence.
