Product Engineer

Role Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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

Requirements

• 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

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

Benefits

• 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
