About This Role Every call, stream, and agent conversation running on LiveKit passes through our real-time media backend. It is the layer that ingests, transforms, and delivers audio and video at a scale of billions of calls a year — and it is the foundation the rest of the product is built on.
Responsibilities
- Own and operate the LiveKit SFU and real time media distribution mesh — including their reliability and on-call
- Build new real time systems to support customer-facing features, from first design through production
- Drive down latency and improve call quality across every session on the platform
- Assess and adopt modern media and transport protocols, including MoQ/WARP
- Partner with client SDK, infrastructure, and product teams on cloud mesh architecture and cross-cutting reliability work, and serve as the internal expert those teams consult
