We work to provide scalable, highly available, solutions to data storage, data integrity, and provide the framework and tools to help Klaviyo empower each and every customer to the best of their ability. This team focuses on owning the core reference of what a company is and how it interacts and communicates with all other parts of our platform. We’re focusing on the next iteration of what our core data, its subsystems, and its access patterns look like, as well as building customer-facing features that enhance the overall experience of being a user of Klaviyo. Customer First is one of our most important values, and a principle of everything we build.
