About the team:
Our team, Natural Language Interfaces, is responsible for developing customer-facing, chat-based features in the Klaviyo app. This is a relatively new team working with Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve the user experience. You’ll be coming in as one of our primary data scientists on the team and will have the chance to radically impact how customers use some of the core features of the Klaviyo app on a daily basis.
As a Data Scientist, you’ll also be a member of the broader Klaviyo Data Science Team, working alongside dozens of other Data Scientists to help solve high-impact problems facing our customers and business partners.
About the role:
We’re looking for a motivated Data Scientist to join our team and help build chat-based models for customers into the Klaviyo app. We’re looking for someone who can build, train, and deploy models, work directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders to scope projects, and adjust to learnings on the fly. The ideal candidate has a strong background in data science, statistics, and machine learning, and is motivated to learn about the areas they work in deeply enough to gain expertise, but is also efficient and solution-oriented. The right candidate will have a solid fundamental grasp on a number of data science modeling and problem-solving techniques, and should be comfortable working in a fast-paced research and development setting. Note that this role will have an especially heavy emphasis on NLP and LLMs given the focus on building chat-style features for users.
You will work alongside a multifaceted team of product managers, product analysts, designers, design researchers, engineers, and other data scientists to focus on integrating natural language based tools into the Klaviyo experience. Think ChatGPT but for our marketing platform. The work you do will have a direct and measurable impact on Klaviyo customers and how they interface with our platform.
You will also play a role in mentoring others on the data science team. You’ll review their math and statistics work as well as their code to ensure high quality, and you’ll share your knowledge with the team to help others learn.
Please note that this role is based in Boston and requires a hybrid, onsite component.
