Klaviyo's infrastructure is the foundation that every product, every customer, and every engineer depends on. In this role you will be the connective tissue between our Infrastructure organization and the rest of engineering, driving the rollout of critical, cross-cutting programs that affect how we build, operate, and secure our platform at scale.

You will juggle a high volume of parallel efforts across cloud infrastructure, FinOps, build systems, software migrations, security operations, and more, keeping each moving, supporting teams to be successful, and escalating quickly when capacity or priority decisions need to be made. This is not a role for someone who waits to be told what to do. It's a role for someone who drives.

How you'll make a difference

• Own the rollout of infrastructure initiatives across engineering. Drive programs from planning through completion, coordinating across teams that don't report to you and don't always have capacity to prioritize infrastructure work. Keep things moving.

When a team genuinely lacks capacity, you surface that quickly, bring the right people into the conversation, and get a trade-off decision made — not absorb the delay quietly.
• Develop a way to provide program health continuously. Establish and maintain clear, actionable reporting on the status of all infrastructure rollouts. Leadership should always know what's on track, what's at risk, and what decisions are needed from them.
• Partner with Infrastructure leadership on planning and prioritization. Work closely with engineering and SRE leadership to build and maintain a rolling roadmap, sequence work across teams, and ensure infrastructure investments align with engineering and business priorities.
• Define clear ways of working across teams. Create frameworks, templates, and coordination models that make it easier for infrastructure and product engineering teams to work together effectively. Build the playbook as you go.
