This team focuses on owning the core reference of what a company is and how it interacts and communicates with all other parts of our platform, focusing on the next iteration of what core data, its subsystems, and its accessors looks like, as well as building customer facing features that enhance the overall experience of being a user of Klaviyo. Customer First is one of our most important values, and a principle of everything we build.
