Work from home
This is a remote role, but the employee must be based in United States. It is work from home rather than work from anywhere.
What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "United States (Remote), Remote"
What Nomaders makes of it
- Residency required in United States
- Payroll and tax are likely handled in that country only
The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.
Before you apply
Questions worth asking: Nomaders interpretation
- The advert does not say where you can be based. Ask which countries they can legally employ or contract you from.
- The advert does not say whether this is employment or a contractor arrangement. Ask, as it affects tax and benefits.

About You
LiveKit's team is growing fast, in the US and around the world, and Finance is taking over payroll. You'll be the person who makes it run: every employee, every state, every country, every filing. Most senior payroll roles hand you a well-oiled machine and ask you not to break it. This one asks you to build it. You'll own US and international payroll, set up the calendar and controls, assist with month end close, and be the internal expert on anything that touches a paycheck.
You'll thrive as the Senior Payroll Specialist if you:
are obsessive about tying out numbers to the penny
are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems
work hard and can build and ship fast
are focused on polish, detail and quality
are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills
The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement LiveKit, and potentially tinkering with it 😊
What You'll Do
As a Senior Payroll Specialist at LiveKit, you will:
Run US and international payroll end to end, from collecting inputs to final reconciliation
Own all associated payroll tax filings, domestic and international, and keep us compliant and on time
Manage our PEO and EOR relationships, and know where their responsibility ends and yours begins
Reconcile payroll to the general ledger each cycle and support month-end close
Build and maintain our payroll calendar, processes, and documentation as payroll moves into Finance
Partner with People/Talent and accounting on new hires, changes, terminations, and month-end reconciliation
Support equity administration in Carta and equity reporting for the board
Be the go-to contact for payroll questions internally and for auditor requests externally
Who You Are
Hands-on experience running both US and international payroll, including Canada and/or the EU
Experience managing payroll tax filings directly, not just handing them off to a provider
