Responsibilities


About LiveKitLiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the voice-driven era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice AI applications for OpenAI, xAI, Salesforce, Coursera, Spotify, and thousands of others, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year.About This RoleDeveloper-first companies are allergic to marketing — which means our web work has to be so good it doesn't feel like marketing. That's the job. Most "design engineer" roles are really front-end roles with a nicer title: implement the mockup, close the ticket. This one isn't. We're rolling out a new brand identity, and we need someone to engineer it into existence — the components, the motion systems, the tooling that make a brand real instead of a PDF nobody opens. You're the kind of person who profiles an animation at 10pm because 60fps wasn't negotiable, who notices when an easing curve is wrong from across the room, and who thinks the gap between "looks like the design" and "feels alive" is where the actual work lives.You'll thrive as a Design Engineer if you:obsess with crafting code that is fast, reliable and practical for the problemare known as the go-to person for tackling tough technical problemswork hard and can build and ship fastcan clearly explain complex technical concepts to othersare a fast learner, frequently picking up new languages and toolsThe best way to impress us is with thoughtful Issues and/or PRs on our Github repos 😊What You'll DoOwn the craft of livekit.com — push the boundaries of what a developer-facing marketing site can be in motion, interaction, and performanceEngineer our new brand identity into a living system: components, motion patterns, and tooling that let the whole team ship on-brand work fastBuild launch pages, product pages, and campaign surfaces that hold an insanely high bar without slowing anyone downTreat performance as a feature — rich experiences that stay fast, measured and defended with real budgetsPartner daily with brand designers, marketers, and the design engineering team to turn ambitious ideas into shipped webWho You AreAn exceptional front-end engineer with a portfolio of production web work that speaks for itselfObsessive about detail — motion, interaction, and performance are your home turf, not checkboxesFluent in translating brand and design intent into reusable systems and componentsFast and self-directed — you ship polished work without waiting for perfect specsA strong collaborator with designers — you elevate their ideas rather than flattening them into what's easyNice to HaveExperience at a developer-tools, API, or infrastructure company — you know why engineers distrust marketing and how to win them overWebGL, shaders, or creative-coding chops for the moments that call for something nobody's seen beforeDesign system contributions — tokens, primitives, docs that other people actually usedBattle scars from making a rich site pass Core Web Vitals — and strong opinions about howYou have a folder of screen recordings of other people's website interactions, purely for study (we won't judge)Our Commitment to YouAn opportunity to build something truly impactful to the worldContribute to open source alongside world-class engineersCompetitive salary and equity packageHealth, dental, and vision benefitsFlexible vacation policyLiveKit is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable law.
