Job Description

About LiveKit

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

About You

Developer-first companies are allergic to marketing. They've sat through too many gated whitepapers with no actual content, too many blog posts that read like SEO exercises, too many "5 reasons why X matters in 2026" pieces written by someone who has clearly never used the product. Our problem is simple: the content we make has to be so good it doesn't feel like marketing. Opinionated, technically rigorous, written like someone who's actually shipped something. You'd be the founding content marketer at LiveKit - sitting at the intersection of an incredible product and an emerging marketing function, which means you get to define what "good" looks like here from day one.

You'll thrive as a Content Marketing Manager if you:
* are obsessed with making the best product for our customers
