[Remote] Senior Product Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the agentic era of computing, and they are seeking a Senior Product Engineer to build the surfaces developers use to ship agentic applications. The role involves writing production code, engaging with developers, and contributing to product decisions to enhance user experience.

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

Skills

• 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
• 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

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Flexible vacation policy
