Distributed Systems Engineer

Experience building and operating critical production services Takes ownership from design through implementation, deployment, and iteration Learns quickly and isn’t intimidated by unfamiliar problem domains Thinks clearly about data flow, state, performance, and failure modes, and can reduce complex systems into understandable components Comfortable operating with incomplete information and evolving requirements Values clear communication, practical engineering, and building systems that others enjoy working with

Design and build the core control, data, and observability systems that power LiveKit Cloud Implement resilient, region-spanning architectures that degrade gracefully under partial failure Build libraries, protocols, and tooling that raise reliability and developer velocity across the org Diagnose and harden critical paths using metrics, tracing, testing, and real-world traffic insights Shape new platform capabilities across identity, scheduling, observability, and distributed state management
