Senior Systems Engineer - Salesforce Integrations

At Klaviyo, our GTM Systems team powers the operational engine that connects marketing, sales, partnerships, and customer success. We build and maintain the foundational systems that allow our go-to-market teams to move quickly and trust their data.

As a Senior Systems Engineer on the GTM Systems Partner team, you will own enterprise Salesforce solutions and GTM integrations end-to-end. In this high-ownership role, you will build and maintain features across the Salesforce platform—including Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, and external-facing partner portals—while managing secure data pipelines connecting partner management and payment systems. You will champion git-based development practices, leverage AI productivity tooling, and hold a high bar for code quality through pull request reviews and mentorship.

Key Responsibilities

• Salesforce Solution Delivery: Design, develop, and deploy scalable Salesforce solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Salesforce Flow, applying clean code principles (DRY, SOLID, KISS).
• GTM & Partner Integrations: Build and manage secure integrations between Salesforce and the broader GTM stack, including the external partner portal, partner management engines, and payment platform data.
• Code Quality & Governance: Enforce software engineering standards through GitHub-based pull request reviews, automated testing, and strict access/permission governance models.
• Incident Triage & Platform Health: Triage, debug, and resolve high-impact data and platform issues quickly, communicating status updates clearly to Product Owners and stakeholders.
• Agile Refinement & Sizing: Partner with Product Owners and Architects during story refinement to surface technical constraints early, size user stories accurately, and define acceptance criteria.
• AI Tooling & Mentorship: Utilize modern AI tools in daily workflows to accelerate delivery and automate repetitive tasks; mentor junior engineers in git-based workflows and Salesforce best practices.
