The posting

ABOUT LIVEKIT

LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the agentic era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe AI agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice and agentic AI applications for OpenAI, Salesforce, Spotify, Meta, and tens of thousands of other developers, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're hiring Product Engineers to build the surfaces developers use to ship agentic applications on LiveKit. Most of this work lives on the web and in our CLI: the dashboards, tooling, observability, and debug surfaces that turn LiveKit from a set of APIs into a platform people love to build on.

This is a core engineering role. You'll write a lot of production code in TypeScript and Go, work end to end across the stack, and ship features that real developers depend on. We expect strong technical chops and a high bar for craft.

What sets a Product Engineer apart at LiveKit is product instinct. You think about the shape of the experience, not just the correctness of the code. The things you ship are built from deep knowledge of actual customer use-cases, and you continuously measure, seek feedback, and iterate to maximize your impact.

This role can be based remotely or in our SF HQ, where you'll be part of a collaborative in-office culture!

YOU'LL THRIVE AT LIVEKIT IF YOU

- are genuinely excited about agentic and AI-native applications and want to build the infrastructure that makes them possible

- love building for developers and have strong opinions about what good DX looks like

- write code that's fast, reliable, and right-sized to the problem

- own what you ship you feel it when something you built isn't working for users

- move fast without losing rigor on the details that matter

- can explain complex technical concepts clearly to other engineers

- pick up new languages, tools, and domains quickly

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and ship core product surfaces end to end, primarily on the web and in our CLI

- Design and implement features that make LiveKit feel obvious and powerful to the developers using it

- Engage directly with developers and customers to understand how they're building with LiveKit and where the rough edges are

- Move quickly from prototype to production, iterating on real usage rather than guesses

- Contribute to technical and product decisions that shape what we build next

WHO YOU ARE

- 6+ years of engineering experience, with meaningful time spent shipping product end-to-end

- Strong coding skills in TypeScript, with fluency in modern web frameworks. Comfort with Go is a plus.

- A track record of building user-facing software that developers or technical users actually adopted

- Strong product sense: you weigh user experience, trade-offs, and value alongside technical implementation

- Comfort with ambiguity. You can take a vague problem, frame it, and start shipping.

- Excellent written and verbal communication

- Genuine excitement about agentic AI, voice, and the next generation of developer platforms

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience building developer platforms, SDKs, CLIs, or APIs as the primary product

- Experience working with and operating production distributed systems (Kubernetes-based deployments, analytics/telemetry, and observability) at scale

- Open source contributions, especially on infra or developer tools

- Background in realtime, audio/video, or AI tooling

- Based in or willing to spend time in the San Francisco Bay Area

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

- An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world

- Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers

- Competitive salary and equity package

- Health, dental, and vision benefits

- Flexible vacation policy

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
