Solutions Architect

You'll thrive here if you:

• love to build and solve the most challenging customer problems with LiveKit
• have a curious mind with a continuous desire to learn and improve
• enjoy demoing and presenting, whether to a room or engineer, to a CTO or at a conference
• have a team first mentality, seeking to lift others around you as you progress in your career

What You'll Do

• Partner with an account executive as the technical lead on strategic deals — from discovery and architecture design through demos, POCs, and technical decisions
• Advise customers on cloud architecture and deployment across self-hosted and LiveKit Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Build live demos and reference applications — voice agents, video pipelines, telephony integrations — tailored to each customer's use case, and reusable by the wider team
• Scope and run proofs-of-concept against clear, shared success criteria, guiding customers all the way to production
• Reason with customers about connectivity, infrastructure, and end-to-end latency to design for scale and reliability
• Create technical content — blog posts, guides, webinars, and conference talks — that helps developers and enterprises build with LiveKit
• Act as the technical enabler for your region's pod, and share field insight with Product and Engineering to help shape the roadmap

Who You Are

• 4+ years in solutions architecture, sales engineering, or a customer-facing engineering role (or equivalent hands-on engineering experience with strong customer instincts)
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — you can architect, deploy, and debug real applications
• Comfortable with the modern deployment toolchain: containers, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, and networking fundamentals (load balancing, DNS, firewalls/NAT)
• Able to reason about connectivity, infrastructure, and latency end to end — how architecture, network path, compute, co-location, and model choice shape the AI agentic experiences of today
• Strong programming ability in at least one of our core SDK languages — Python, TypeScript/Node, or Go
• A clear communicator who can demo, present, and write for technical audiences

Nice to Have

• Working knowledge of real-time media protocols and their latency/quality trade-offs (WebRTC, RTP/SRTP, WebSockets)
• Familiarity with the AI voice stack: STT/TTS providers, LLM integration, speech-to-speech models, turn detection, and telephony/SIP
• Experience speaking at meetups or conferences, or a track record of technical writing or open-source contributions

Our Commitment to You

• An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
• Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
• Competitive salary and equity package
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Flexible vacation policy
