Full Job Description
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.
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
