Full Job Description
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. YOU'LL THRIVE AT LIKEKIT 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 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
