Responsibilities
Set the Vision: Define the product strategy for Klaviyo’s developer environment, aligning to our Need for Speed program — targeting massive improvements in engineering velocity, developer experience, and quality
Make Developers Your Customers: Treat Klaviyo engineers as the primary stakeholders. Identify pain points across the PDLC (coding, testing, deployment, maintenance) and prioritize investments that meaningfully improve their productivity and happiness
Accelerate with AI: Institutionalize AI as a force multiplier — from autonomous code agents to AI copilots for reviews and testing. Ensure Klaviyo leads in adopting AI-first development practices, reducing friction without compromising safety
Deliver Measurable Outcomes: Drive success metrics such as PR throughput, cycle time, change failure rate, developer experience index, and AI tool adoption
Champion Quality & Safety: Partner with SRE and QE to ensure reliability and safety are built into every paved path — incidents and defects decrease even as velocity increases
Scale for the Future: Guide architecture and tooling choices that will keep Klaviyo’s developer experience sustainable and scalable for years to come
Be Data-Driven: Establish instrumentation, run surveys, and analyze metrics to continuously validate impact and adjust based on outcomes, not assumptions
Build for Collaboration: Create transparency and open feedback loops with engineers, EMs, and leadership to ensure alignment and adoption of developer tooling and practices
Qualification
Required
Strategic Builder: You're an Engineering leader turned Product think or Founder. Or you've led product for developer platforms, infrastructure, or tools, with a track record of improving engineering velocity and reliability
Developer-Centric Thinker: You deeply empathize with engineers and have experience making their workflows easier, faster, and safer
AI-Forward Mindset: You understand the transformative potential of AI in software development and can separate hype from practical value
Metrics-Oriented: You are fluent in measuring success via engineering productivity, quality, and reliability metrics (e.g., PR throughput, CFR, incident rates, DevEx indices)
Influential Collaborator: You can partner with senior engineering leaders (Infra, SRE, QE, product teams) and influence without authority
Bias for Action: You thrive in fast-moving environments, balance short-term wins with long-term strategy, and bias toward automation and self-service
