Job Description:

LiveKit Developer Success EngineeringThis isn't one of those situations where we tack "engineer" onto the back of every role at LiveKit. No. We're 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. There's nothing wrong with that, we love hardcore engineers. There are many at LiveKit - we're not complaining. But, this time, we're looking for a new teammate that wants to have influence over our product and business. If you'd 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.*For clarity, this role is compensated like any other engineering role.As an Developer Success Engineer at LiveKit, you will:

• Support and work directly with developers, teams, and companies building with LiveKit, both commercially and in the community.
