Responsibilities

LiveKit is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work directly with customers building real-time communication and voice AI applications on the LiveKit platform.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and customer implementation. Forward Deployed Engineers partner closely with customers to design systems, prototype solutions, and solve complex technical challenges as teams move from experimentation to production.

This is an ideal role for engineers who enjoy solving real-world problems in real customer environments. You'll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to surface insights from customer implementations and help shape the future of the LiveKit platform.
Your mission: make it seamless for developers to build and scale real-time audio, video, and AI applications on LiveKit.
