Software Engineer II, Infrastructure Security

Team Overview

The Infrastructure Security team makes it simple and easy for engineers to make secure choices while developing world-class software at high speed. Security is built in by default—seamless and effortless—making engineers’ lives better and Klaviyo more secure.

Our work sits at the intersection of security, infrastructure, and software engineering. We build cloud-native platforms and services that are reliable, secure, and performant at global scale, forming the foundation that Klaviyo engineers rely on every day.

This role is for engineers who enjoy building modern distributed systems, care about security and reliability, and want to have real impact across a large engineering organization.

How you’ll make an impact

As a Software Engineer on the Infrastructure Security team, you will build and operate the systems that help Klaviyo engineers ship secure software with confidence. You will:

• Design, build, and maintain cloud-native security services used across Klaviyo
• Own meaningful components and services end to end, from implementation through production operation
• Improve the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of infrastructure security systems
• Collaborate with senior engineers on system design and architecture, contributing ideas and technical solutions
• Identify performance, reliability, and security issues in distributed systems and drive improvements
• Work extensively with technologies such as Python, Golang, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern data stores
• Participate actively in design reviews, code reviews, and whiteboarding sessions
• Contribute to operational excellence through monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Participate in an on-call rotation with a focus on learning, prevention, and reducing operational toil
• Build tooling, automation, and documentation that improve developer experience and security posture
• Partner with product-facing and platform engineers to ship impactful, secure solutions

Who you are

• You have solid experience building and operating cloud-native, distributed systems in production
• You are comfortable writing production-quality code in a language such as Python or Go
• You have hands-on experience with AWS (or a similar cloud provider) and understand managed services, networking, and IAM concepts
• You have experience working with containers and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes
• You are comfortable owning services and features independently, while knowing when to ask for feedback or support
• You understand the fundamentals of scalable, multi-tenant architectures and secure system design
• You care about reliability, performance, observability, and security—not just shipping features
• You are comfortable participating in on-call and responding to production issues
• You communicate clearly, collaborate well, and enjoy working through technical problems as a team
• You regularly use modern developer tooling, including AI-powered tools, to improve productivity and code quality
