About our Co-op

Our Software Engineering co-op is small. This is purposeful - so we can ensure each intern is able to undertake meaningful and robust projects that directly impact our product and customers. It also creates a tight-knit group of co-ops who get to bond with each other over the course of the co-op.

Co-ops are valued members of our engineering department, which is made up of small, agile teams that collaborate across Klaviyo to constantly ship work that impacts our product. Interns have ownership over features, while also learning from and connecting with fellow Klaviyos from engineering, product, design, and beyond to make sure they craft the right solutions. We operate a real-time data platform coded in Python built for massive scale on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

We move fast here - co-ops work on projects at scale and often ship their work during the course of the co-op. We offer a supportive environment where co-ops can test, fail, iterate and launch while building a solid technical foundation, awesome connections across Klaviyo while having fun.

Co-ops come to Klaviyo with experience in a variety of coding languages, but they are all passionate about building, owning, and scaling features end-to-end from scratch and breaking through obstacles or technical challenges in their way.
