We believe in providing an exceptional developer experience that enables our engineering teams to build and ship high-quality software efficiently and with confidence.
The Messaging Infra organization at Klaviyo is focused on high-growth customer engagement through various messaging channels (email, SMS/MMS/RCS, mobile push, WhatsApp, and more). We work with multiple stakeholders to provide best-in-class service and reliability to connect a wide range of businesses, from entrepreneurs to enterprises, with their end users. The messaging platform is a mission-critical, event-driven system responsible for delivering billions of real-time, low-latency messages, and must be architected for massive scale and reliability.
How You Will Make a Difference
•
Build and scale highly-available, low-latency, high-throughput, event-driven services that process live messaging events across one or more channels.
•
Work on Klaviyo's real-time messaging pipeline, processing and delivering hundreds of millions of messages daily and growing to billions scale, with performance and reliability critical to whether messages reach customers when expected.
•
Design and implement backend services that handle real-time traffic, asynchronous processing, queues and streams, making tradeoffs around throughput, latency, reliability and failure handling.
•
Own and evolve components of a highly-scalable, highly-available campaign pipeline, from processing and routing through to delivery and status tracking.
•
Collaborate radically with teams and stakeholders across Klaviyo on designs, implementations, and engineering practices.
•
Learn new technologies, bring them to the team and apply them to evolve our systems to the next level.
•
Help us improve our experimentation and development processes, and mentor other engineers on the team.
•
Participate in the technical interview process to help maintain a high bar for our growing teams.
•
Contribute to the company as a subject matter expert, constantly pushing yourself to be a better engineer and to level up all of your peers within your team and within Klaviyo.
•
5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating online, real-time distributed systems where latency, throughput and reliable processing matter to customers or downstream services.
•
Experience designing and building event-driven or asynchronous systems, using events, queues, streams or messaging platforms as a core part of the architecture.
•
Experience with streaming or message-queue platforms such as Kafka, Pulsar, RabbitMQ, SQS, or similar, and an understanding of the tradeoffs they introduce around throughput, latency, ordering, retries and reliability.
•
Experience with large-scale system architecture, technologies and patterns. Have a good understanding of their pros/cons and use scenarios, able to apply them to system design by making appropriate tradeoffs to meet business needs.
•
Deep fluency in at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, Scala, or similar) and comfort navigating large, complex codebases.
•
Love digging into performance and scalability issues to drive breakthrough solutions -- whether it's a performance degradation, a database query timing out, or a queue that just won’t drain. You recognize all problems can be solved.
•
Passionate about growing and improving a product daily using a data driven mindset, familiar with system monitoring and alerting techniques.
•
Proven experience with being a coach and a mentor for team members and helping them grow.
•
Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consistency models, CAP, tradeoffs, idempotency, retries and backoff, rate limiting, and graceful degradation.
•
Ability to operate effectively in a high-ownership culture: you drive your work forward, unblock yourself, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not just effort.
