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
Most product designers want to design for everyone. This role is for someone who'd rather design for one very specific, very opinionated person: the developer at 2am trying to figure out why their voice agent just failed a call. You'll design the tools developers use to test, evaluate and debug AI agents — a category that's still being invented, with no established patterns to copy. If dense data, real-time systems and reading a stack trace sound more fun than intimidating, keep reading.
You'll thrive as a Senior Product Designer if you:
are obsessed with making the best product for our customers
are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems
work hard and can build and ship fast
are focused on polish, detail and quality
are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills
The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement LiveKit, and potentially tinkering with it 😊
What You'll Do
Own the design of how developers test, evaluate and observe their agents — simulations, evals, logs and agent insights
Turn complex, real-time data into interfaces that are easy to scan, understand and act on
Design new interaction patterns for AI-native workflows, where agents generate the first draft and humans adjust it
Prototype in code and work hand-in-hand with engineers to ship polished work
Contribute patterns to our design system for dense, debugging-oriented surfaces
Who You Are
You've shipped design work for developer tools, observability or data-heavy products
You have strong data-visualization instincts and know when a chart beats a table (and when it doesn't)
You're comfortable in code — reading PRs, tweaking Tailwind, building prototypes
You earn the trust of deeply technical users and engineers
Experience designing for AI or agent tooling
AI tools are already a core part of how you design
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

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- What have you built with speech recognition or text-to-speech, and where did it break?
- What are the limits of OpenAI that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
- Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
- If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, Speech, and OpenAI. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
