We love tackling tough engineering problems and look for Engineers who are passionate about building, owning, and scaling features and breaking through any obstacle or technical challenge in their way. We push each other to move out of our comfort zone, learn new technologies and work hard to ensure each day is better than the last.

Klaviyo operates a real-time data platform written in Python and built for massive scale on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Engineers come to Klaviyo with experience in a variety of languages and from a number of disciplines.

Team OverviewThe Groups Team is responsible for the segmentation and audience creation functionality in Klaviyo. We process and store all of our customer’s data about their customers (profiles) and we allow them to group those profiles into audiences with our powerful segmentation engine. They can then send messages to those audiences or use them as a basis for reporting and analytics. We process billions of segment updates in real-time every day.
