Why You Should Join the API Team:
As a Lead Engineer joining the API team you can expect to be deeply involved in technical discussions across teams, building out public APIs, and growing the team. You will have input into the team’s mission, goals, and roadmap while collaborating along-side technical product owners, product managers, and product analysts. Together, you'll define scope and specifications while refining RFCs to ensure deliverables are met and stability is maintained. You'll also be a key player in helping drive the narrative for the technical evolution of the overall public API space as we invest in both our current and future experiences.
The API team is responsible for expanding our API surface to enable Klaviyo’s customers and partners to build on top of Klaviyo. Klaviyo already has APIs for storing data and sending communications, primarily for e-commerce applications, but we’re just getting started! We’re looking to expand our API surface to provide external developers the tools they need to solve core use cases.
This new role within Klaviyo has resulted from growth and there are ample opportunities to advance given the scope of this position and the team’s central role in Klaviyo’s product.
In 2022, Klaviyo did a major overhaul of its API foundation to align to industry standards for REST, rate-limiting, and authorization scopes. Learn more here!
