About This Role

This isnt one of those situations where we tack engineer onto the back of every role at LiveKit. No. Were actually looking for an engineer*. A rare type of engineer that cares about talking to and advocating for customers helping unblock them by fixing bugs or writing up sample code and providing customers with guidance pointers and support.

We say rare because in our experience most engineers aspire to architect large-scale systems or tackle deeply technical problems. Said differently most engineers want to have influence over the technology they work on or with. Theres nothing wrong with that we love hardcore engineers and there are many at LiveKit. But this time were looking for a new teammate that wants to have influence over our product and business.

If youd be energized by seeing a developer or team flip a LiveKit integration from staging to production secretly satisfied in knowing you helped make it possible you are perfect for this.
