Senior Product Engineer
About LiveKit
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.
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.
This role can be based remotely or in our SF HQ, where you'll be part of a collaborative in-office culture!
