Founded in 2012, Klaviyo was built around data processing and analytics from the start. Over the years our data foundation has evolved to a multi-tier architecture, supporting transactional access, real-time analytics, and off-line data processing jobs at multi-petabyte scale.
As Klaviyo diversifies and moves up-market, and as the pace of machine learning advancement increases, the requirements on and importance of the data platform continue to rapidly grow. Our team has a wide mix of talents and experience, and we are uniquely positioned to advance the state of the practice by applying what we have learned in the past to the challenges of the future.
As Head of Data Platform, you will report directly to the VP of Data Infrastructure Engineering. You will own the data lake, on-line analytics systems, data ingestion and movement, query processing, automation, compliance, and other related areas, and will coordinate the efforts of those teams to build our next generation of data platform that meets our scale, performance, reliability, and flexibility requirements.
How you’ll make a difference:
Your work will be foundational, enabling machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), business intelligence (BI), and advanced analytics (AA) product features across the organization, while directly contributing to Klaviyo's strategic growth in the mid-market (MM+) segment and expansion into new verticals. You will do this by leading teams to build a data platform that is accessed through a clear and cohesive set of APIs which could enable it to become a product itself.
