About the TeamÂ
The Flows Team enables users to automate their marketing by allowing users to create their own workflows. Users set up these workflows via a drag and drop visual builder. After setting up the triggering criteria, customers enter these workflows in real time and can receive email, SMS, and push notifications; or trigger generic outbound webhooks to integrate with other services. The tools we provide are robust enough that we’re often surprised and delighted by the inventive workflows our users make-- some have even made workflows to send physical mail!
Flows is a full-stack team, and usability and scalability are top of mind for the Flows Team. We strive to create the most intuitive and accessible experience for users to set up their workflows..
Future feature work for our team includes creating new ways to trigger workflows based on what happens to an item in an ecommerce store, leveraging our generic webhook action to create more plug and play connections to external services, and to enhance our visual flow builder experience.
About the RoleÂ
This is a truly full-stack role, delivering products that are both customer-facing and high-scale. We are a highly collaborative team. We work closely with Product and Design to shape features from inception to release. As our team quickly grows, there is plenty of opportunity for leadership as an Individual Contributor or Manager.
How You will make an ImpactÂ
Incoming members to the Flows Team will be responsible for building the foundation of how we scale internally at Klaviyo. You will have an opportunity to make a major impact on the direction and priorities of the team.
Projects on our roadmap have a good mix of front end and backend technologies. On the back end, our processing pipeline handles over 60 million actions a day and sends up to 25+ million email/messages on an average day. We’ve been able to handle this load thanks to good engineering and system design, and we have plenty of ideas to make our pipeline even faster and more powerful. There are plenty of opportunities for engineers on our team to grow on the backend as well as the frontend
Technologies we use (not exhaustive):
- Python, Django, React, Redux, Celery, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Cassandra, Redis
- Amazon Web Services (EC2, RDS, Aurora, etc.), Grafana, Terraform, Kuberentes, Splunk, Jenkins, and other modern DevOps tools
What we are looking forÂ
- 5-7+ years of experience in a software engineering discipline
- Significant experience with full stack application development
- Expertise working with Python on the backend to develop applications
- Experience working with React on the FrontendÂ
- Experience working with large-scale system design and operations

- Experience collaborating closely with Product Managers to deliver customer-facing features
- Experience debugging performance issues and improving application performance
