We Don’t Do Boring SEs. And We Don’t Hire Boring SE Managers.
At Klaviyo, while most organizations appoint SE managers primarily to handle 1:1 meetings, attend forecast calls, and manage headcount, that approach doesn’t excite us.
We are on a mission to create something extraordinary: an SE organization where managers are actively engaged—coaching senior practitioners through intricate technical victories, constructing scalable systems for our best strategies, and fostering the next generation of technical leaders who can confidently engage with any CTO or Chief Data Officer.
As our second Large Enterprise SE manager, you will step into a pivotal role at a time when we have validated our model and are now ready to expand it. You will lead a team of 4-6 seasoned SEs, each with over 20 years of expertise in their field. Your responsibility will be to help them anticipate challenges, elevate their strategic capabilities, and amplify their overall impact.
This is a hands-on managerial role. You will mentor your team while working collaboratively on strategic deals—developing technical win plans, navigating customer data platform migrations, architecting AI/ML solutions, and forging relationships with technical executives that transform evaluations into enduring partnerships.
If you are a manager who yearns to engage in deals while understanding that your true leverage lies in empowering people and optimizing systems—this opportunity could be perfect for you.
