About the role
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.
