Software Engineer, Agents

About LiveKit

LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the agentic era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe AI agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice and agentic AI applications for OpenAI, Salesforce, Spotify, Meta, and tens of thousands of other developers, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year.

About This Role

We are looking for an exceptional engineer to join the Agents team and help shape the future of agentic computing. You'll work on the core abstractions and infrastructure that developers use to build sophisticated AI agents; from real-time voice and text interactions to durable workflows and agent-to-agent communication.

What You'll Do

Design and develop core functionality for the LiveKit Agents framework

Help define the text modality of the framework, enabling agents to interact with users across channels such as SMS

Design abstractions for stateful and durable agentic workflows, allowing agents to maintain state and coordinate work across interactions that may span minutes, hours, or longer

Shape agent-to-agent communication and delegation patterns, enabling voice agents to hand off tasks, collaborate, and compose into more sophisticated systems

Build simple, powerful developer APIs over complex distributed and real-time systems

Iterate quickly based on feedback from our developer community

Write clear documentation, examples, and reference implementations

Work primarily with Python and TypeScript

Who You Are

Experienced building LLM-based applications and agentic systems

Skilled at navigating complex systems and turning complexity into clean abstractions

Comfortable reasoning about state, concurrency and asynchronous workflows

Product-minded and excited about designing APIs and developer experiences

Experience building developer tools, frameworks, or SDKs is a plus

Interested in exploring emerging patterns in agent architecture rather than simply applying established ones

Comfortable working collaboratively in a remote environment

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
