At Klaviyo, we value the unique backgrounds, experiences and perspectives each Klaviyo (we call ourselves Klaviyos) brings to our workplace each and every day. We believe everyone deserves a fair shot at success and appreciate the experiences each person brings beyond the traditional job requirements. If you’re a close but not exact match with the description, we hope you’ll still consider applying.

We love tackling tough engineering problems and look for a Software Engineering Intern who specialize in certain areas but are passionate about building, owning & scaling features end to end from scratch 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.

• HTML, JavaScript, LESS, Backbone.js, React

• Amazon Web Services (EC2, RDS, Aurora, etc.) Terraform, Ansible, Packer, and other DevOps tools

How You'll Make a Difference:

• Wholly owning features that tens of thousands of our customers rely on daily to reach 1,000,000,000+ of consumers to drive their business forward.

• Working on crafting our highly scalable real-time data pipeline that processes billions of events weekly across data sets growing to petabyte scale.

• Working on a deep analytics system that provides insight into hundreds of terabytes of data.

• Be responsible for the mission, technical direction and operations of projects that have immediate impact.

• Helping architect and design robust and high performance data processing and storage systems leveraging new databases to serve different internal and external use cases. Contribute to open source data processing technologies.

Who You Are:

• Have experience building products that matter and pushing yourself and your team to be better engineers and build a product with passionate advocates

• Enjoy working with new technologies ranging from the frontend to backend, and are particularly passionate and an expert in multiple stack areas. You show this by having strong and opinionated experience with various technologies and know how to pick the right tool for any job

• Love digging into performance and scalability issues to drive breakthrough solutions-- whether it's a slow loading UI or too many clicks in a workflow, a database query timing out, or a queue that just won’t drain. You recognize all problems can be solved

• Enjoy shipping code early & often in an agile fashion, pairing with product management to craft better software by soliciting feedback from thousands of end users

• Like working on small, autonomous agile teams. At Klaviyo, you will have ownership of features, but you'll collaborate with everyone to make sure we produce the right solution

• Have at least 1 prior internship experience
