Team Overview:

We partner across the organisation, including Sales, Marketing, Engineering & Product, Customer Service & Success, and Finance, to solve real operational problems with practical, well-designed software.

Our work spans internal applications, 3rd-party integrations, interactive dashboards, CMS integrations, and robust AI systems and agents that automate repetitive tasks, surface the right information at the right time, and help teams make better decisions. We operate in tight feedback loops with our internal customers, shipping quickly, learning fast, and seeing the impact of our work immediately in how deals move faster, tickets resolve sooner, and launches go more smoothly.

This role is for software engineers who enjoy turning real-world problems into reliable, scalable solutions. The work is highly visible and has a direct impact on how thousands of Klaviyos get their work done every day.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

The Amplify team builds the internal platforms, automation, and AI-driven systems that power how Klaviyos work every day. As an AI Software Engineer II on Amplify, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain internal products and platforms, including internal web applications, APIs, data and event pipelines, and AI-powered workflows used daily by Sales, Marketing, Customer Service & Success, R&D, and Finance teams. You will own features and small-to-medium projects end to end, from design through deployment and iteration.
• Deliver project work with increasing autonomy and scope. You will break down problems into actionable pieces, refine requirements with your team, and collaborate to ship high-quality solutions that meet reliability and performance expectations.
• Work closely with internal customers to understand their workflows and constraints, and translate operational challenges into pragmatic, maintainable software and AI-enabled tools that improve productivity and reliability.
• Contribute to the technical and architectural evolution of Amplify’s systems by participating in design discussions, proposing improvements, and helping ensure our platforms remain scalable, observable, and reliable as usage grows.
• Take responsibility for the quality and operational health of the code you ship, including testing, deployment, monitoring, debugging issues in development and production, and participating in on-call rotations for the systems your team owns.
• Use modern AI tools as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow, including for coding, testing, documentation, and experimentation, and share learnings to help the team continuously improve how it works with AI.
• Help improve the developer experience and engineering practices on Amplify by contributing to tooling, CI/CD, automation, tests, and shared utilities that support consistent, high-quality delivery.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, and operational partners, contributing to discovery, evaluating trade-offs, and ensuring the work you deliver is tied to clear success criteria and business outcomes.

Who You Are:

• You care about building software for the long term, balancing technical quality, delivery pace, and business impact.
• You have strong hands-on experience building and operating full-stack or backend-focused software systems, including SaaS products, platforms, or internal tools.
• You can take a well-defined feature or small-to-medium project from design through implementation, testing, rollout, and ongoing maintenance, seeking input when needed and moving work forward independently.
• You are comfortable questioning and refining requirements, working with product managers and stakeholders to clarify scope, identify edge cases, and propose pragmatic solutions.
• You have experience in at least one area of modern web engineering such as backend services, data pipelines, internal tools, integrations, or AI-enabled workflows, and understand how to build secure, scalable, and maintainable systems.
• You are comfortable using AI-powered tools to support your development workflow and are interested in continuing to grow your AI skills over time.
• You care about operational excellence and are comfortable debugging issues, improving tests, adding logging and metrics, and working within reliability goals.
• You are a clear communicator and collaborative teammate, contributing thoughtfully to technical discussions, writing clear tickets or lightweight design docs, and keeping others informed on progress and risks.
• You enjoy working in small, autonomous, agile teams, shipping iteratively, and partnering closely with product managers and other engineers to deliver meaningful outcomes.
• You are motivated to continuously improve how things work, whether that is tooling, workflows, architecture, or team practices.

Nice to Have:

• Experience building internal tools, platforms, or automations for developers and/or non-technical stakeholders, with a track record of improving reliability, productivity, or operational efficiency.
• Hands-on experience in full-stack environments, including diagnosing and improving application performance, database queries, and complex, multi-service workflows.
• Practical experience building or integrating AI-powered systems and agents; e.g., workflows using LLM APIs/SDKs, agentic or automated workflows, RAG pipelines, or evaluation/monitoring frameworks.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and containerized environments (Kubernetes), including how to design services that run reliably at scale in those environments.
