About the Team

The Amplify Engineering team builds systems of efficiency and automation around the processes and problems of our fellow Klaviyos. We create tools that help Klaviyos move faster and operate at scale, with direct visibility into how our work drives measurable impact across the organization.

This role is for builders, leaders, organizers, and problem solvers. Our solutions use state-of-the-art technologies and are regularly demoed for Klaviyo’s senior leadership. It’s an opportunity to design and build systems that shape how thousands of Klaviyos work every day — with fast iteration, high autonomy, and clear, visible results.

How You’ll Make an Impact

As the Engineering Manager for the Amplify Engineering team, you will :

  • Lead a team of seven engineers with potential to grow the team further.
  • Own the vision and oversee the implementation of the Klaviyo Demo Studio (KDS) — a homegrown product used by our Sales organization to demonstrate Klaviyo’s value to prospective customers.
  • Manage a portfolio of internal tools that serve Klaviyo’s Sales and R&D organizations, driving efficiency and productivity through automation.
  • Balance hands-on technical involvement with people leadership — leading through others, setting direction, and modeling best practices.
  • Collaborate with Product, Design, and senior stakeholders to translate organizational challenges into high-quality software solutions.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, curiosity, and technical excellence within the team.

Who You Are

  • 6–8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3–5+ years managing high-performing teams in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
  • Experienced with full-stack development and modern web architectures, typically React / TypeScript on the front end and Python / Django (or equivalent) on the back end.
  • Skilled at leading teams that build internal platforms, tools, or systems for automation and efficiency.
  • Strong communicator who can align stakeholders, manage competing priorities, and drive consensus across teams.
  • A natural mentor and coach who develops engineers through constructive feedback and opportunities for growth.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity — you set direction even when the path isn’t fully defined.
  • Excited to experiment with AI tools to boost team productivity and innovation.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience building internal developer tools, automation systems, or operational dashboards.
  • Familiarity with AWS (or other cloud providers), Terraform, and Kubernetes.

  • 90 Days : You’ve implemented tools that improve how your team and stakeholders work, reviewed key architectures, and led by example through proof-of-concept work to guide your engineers.
  • In Your First Year

    By your first year, you are recognized as the point person for your team’s areas of ownership. You’ve built a reputation for delivering impactful results quickly, learning from outcomes, and iterating effectively. You’re partnering with design and product counterparts to deliver against goals for the Klaviyo Demo Studio and developing tooling that enables deeper adoption of KDS across the company.
