Senior Product Engineer
About the 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.
Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
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
Qualifications

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
