As a Lead Security Engineer, you’ll be a vital part of the Infrastructure Security Team, focusing on strengthening the security posture across Klaviyo’s entire technology environment, developing security architectures and repeatable patterns and mentoring colleagues and junior security engineers. Unlike roles with a narrowly defined specialty, this position offers the opportunity to demonstrate your unique expertise—whether that’s in cloud security, identity and access management, data protection, secure systems design, or other security domains. Your work will involve evaluating and hardening our infrastructure, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and leveraging AI to build scalable solutions to address emerging threats.
We are looking for someone who is excited to bring their specialized skills to the team, shaping Klaviyo’s security practices and helping us continue to raise the bar.

Klaviyo helps eCommerce businesses sell more by using their data to power super-targeted, highly relevant email and advertising campaigns. Unlike other email or marketing automation solutions, we're really good at getting data out of your ecommerce platform - whether it's Shopify, Magento, a customer implementation, or something else. We let you combine that data with website behavior and information from other marketing tools, then use it to target, personalize, analyze, and optimize your marketing. And the best part is, we make it easy. Not 'six-months-of-development' easy or 'only-if-you-want-to-do-the-basics' easy. Just easy. Thousands of ecommerce stores like Kohler, Chubbies, Nomad, and Huckberry grow their revenue using Klaviyo. Learn how they're doing it at klaviyo.com.
