At Klaviyo, we value the unique backgrounds, experiences and perspectives each Klaviyo (we call ourselves Klaviyos) brings to our workplace each and every day.

This role is based in our Boston office — and it's one of the most visible things we're building right now.
Klaviyo's engineering org is scaling fast, and we're making a deliberate bet on AI-first engineering. We don't want AI to be something engineers use occasionally, we want it embedded in how every engineer at Klaviyo works from day one. This is the role that makes that happen.
You’ll help every engineer at Klaviyo move faster with more confidence—by design, not by accident. If you love building systems that enable outsized impact and enjoy teaching others how to win, this is the role. This IC role sits at the heart of engineering effectiveness. You’ll partner closely with Developer Infrastructure, Eng Leadership, HRBP, Recruiting/RCs, L&D, Security, and peers in Engineering Operations (e.g., Tools & Metrics) to translate insights into programs, tAI ooling, and rituals that help teams deliver.
Build the systems, onboarding, and learning programs that make every Klaviyo engineer productive from day one—and more effective every quarter. You’ll design an AI‑first onboarding and enablement experience, standardize “how engineering works” at Klaviyo, and run experiments that measurably improve developer velocity, quality, and satisfaction. The result: faster ramps, fewer friction points, and a culture of continuous improvement across R&D.
