Why You Should Join the Web Platform Team
The Web Platform team owns all the ways we build, ship, and test frontend code at Klaviyo. As an engineering manager you are expected to be deeply involved in technical discussions on how we build out and maintain our deployment processes, core services, and support a growing (400+) engineering organization. -
You can look forward to being a part of a highly technical team with significant domain expertise. We currently leverage a well organized monorepo that is leveraged across the organization that deploys 50+ times a day. - The team also owns and orchestrates a GraphQL backend for frontend service to invest in strong end-to-end typing across our stack. -
As we look toward the next 6 months we aim to focus on improved "commit to ship" timing, reliability and monitoring tooling, and platform web vitals by revamping how we render and deliver assets to our customers.

• 
  
• You collaborate closely with the leaders in our Frontend Platform organization to craft a vision and strategy to help us build a best in class platform for our end customers and engineers.
  
• You will be responsible for hiring new engineering team members as we continue to grow our team.
  
• You will be responsible for managing a team that has success in operating in high parallel against projects. -
  
• As an Engineering Manager, you will own day-to-day operations, help the engineers on your team grow their careers.
  
• Lead the day to day execution of the team through standup, retros, and other team processes.

  • 
    
  • Experienced at building and maintaining platform tooling at a SaaS company. Ideally, in the frontend platform space.
    
  • Several years of professional experience with React and ideally Typescript.
