livekit - Staff Product Manager, Agent Hosting
Requirements
• 8+ years in product management, at a senior or staff level, ideally having owned a developer-facing infrastructure or platform product. • Technical depth. You can reason about distributed systems, runtimes, scaling, and latency, and earn the trust of strong engineers. You don't need to write code, but you need to understand systems well enough to make good tradeoffs. • Infrastructure product sense. You've owned a product where reliability and performance at scale were the core of the job, and you have judgment about the tradeoffs behind deploy speed, autoscaling, and cost. • Cross-functional influence. LiveKit's engineering teams operate with high autonomy. You influence through clarity, trust, and good judgment, not process or hierarchy. • Communication as a superpower. You write clearly, present well, and can move between a board-level strategy conversation and a detailed technical discussion with an engineering lead. • Comfort with ambiguity. We're a small product team at a fast-growing company. You'll figure out what matters, prioritize ruthlessly, and move quickly without perfect information. • Built a serverless, deployment, container, or compute-platform product that developers ran production workloads on • Familiarity with autoscaling, cold-start reduction, and multi-region deployment • Familiarity with how teams deploy and operate software in production • Background at a developer tools or infrastructure company • Familiarity with voice AI, real-time communication, or telephony • Experience with usage-based pricing models • 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 hosting roadmap. Set a clear vision and a sequenced plan for the product, and decide what gets built and when, in partnership with engineering. • Ship a runtime people rely on. Turn deploys, scaling, and reliability into an experience customers trust with their production workloads, and keep raising the bar. • Make scale automatic. Drive the work on cold starts, autoscaling, regional coverage, and performance so customers can run at massive volume without thinking about it. • Get deep with customers and data. Understand how teams actually deploy and operate agents in production, and let that shape priorities. • Grow it into a business. Drive adoption and revenue so Agent Hosting reflects the real value it delivers as our production runtime. • Expand what the runtime is. Help take Hosting beyond voice agents to all kinds of agents.
