livekit - Technical Account Manager
Requirements
• 8+ years in technical, customer-facing roles such as TAM, Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, or a senior engineering role with heavy customer exposure. • A track record as the trusted technical voice for engineering customers. Engineering teams have leaned on your judgment when the path forward wasn't clear. • Fluent in developer-platform fundamentals like APIs, SDKs, frameworks, and deployment patterns. You don't write code day-to-day, but you can hold your own in technical conversations with engineers. • Familiarity with real-time, distributed, or developer-platform systems. Enough to understand the technical challenges customers face at scale, even if you haven't shipped them yourself. • Comfortable owning a portfolio with a proactive system for tracking customer health, not just reacting to fires. • You communicate with precision in writing and in person, with engineers and executives. You don't soften a recommendation when the customer needs to hear it straight. • Direct experience with WebRTC, SIP, media servers, or voice AI infrastructure (if you've ever debugged that-one-weird-audio-issue, we want to talk to you). • Experience building or operating LLM agent systems, voice AI pipelines, or other AI-native applications. • Time spent at a developer tools or infrastructure company. • Hands-on coding in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Go. • Open source contributions. What you've shipped tells us how you think. • Early-stage startup experience. You've not just run the playbook, you've written the playbook. • OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU • An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world • Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
Responsibilities
• Own the technical relationship and long-term outcome for a portfolio of strategic accounts, typically the most sophisticated voice AI and real-time engineering teams in our customer base. • Drive architecture reviews and design consultations to understand each customer's deployment, model their growth trajectory, and steer them toward what will scale. • Deepen product adoption by identifying capability gaps between what customers have built and what the platform supports. • Quarterback the full LiveKit team behind each account, partnering with Developer Success Engineers on day-to-day technical work, Forward Deployed Engineers on deep implementations, and routing hard issues to support and engineering. • Be the customer's voice inside LiveKit, translating field signal into product, pricing, and positioning feedback that actually moves the roadmap. • Lead executive business reviews that connect platform health to business outcomes, surface technical risks ahead, and align both teams on what comes next. • Be on-site with customers for major launches and executive reviews, and lead LiveKit's response in critical escalations to keep the customer's leadership in the loop. • Spot expansion signal early and hand it cleanly to sales. You don't carry the number, but you usually see it first. • Build the playbooks. This is a new function at LiveKit, and you'll define the engagement model for the company's most important accounts.
