We're used in healthcare, fitness, virtual events, customer support, gaming, and more — anywhere people collaborate or connect live online.

We’re looking for a Content Engineer with a deep understanding of software development who is passionate about helping developers succeed through great documentation and learning resources. This is not just a technical writing role — you’ll be writing real code, testing SDKs, and directly improving our documentation site alongside our engineering team.

• Author and maintain high-quality developer documentation, including tutorials, SDK guides, and API references that serve both novice and advanced developers.

• Write and run code — test LiveKit’s SDKs and APIs (JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin, etc.) to create working examples and verify correctness of documentation.

• Extend our documentation infrastructure, improving the site UX, build pipeline, search-ability, or layout to make the docs more useful and maintainable.

• Improve and maintain written content across our open source repos, including READMEs, examples, and package documentation to ensure clarity and consistency.

• Collaborate closely with engineering and product to understand new features and help launch them with strong supporting materials.

• Own content quality by identifying and fixing inconsistencies, outdated references, or unclear explanations.

• Help shape the future of our learning content by proposing new formats, interactive examples, or educational tools to better serve the LiveKit developer community.

• Have strong writing skills and a knack for explaining complex technical topics clearly and concisely.

• Are a practicing developer — comfortable working in multiple programming languages and familiar with web application development.

• Have experience with or interest in real-time communication, video streaming, or multimedia APIs.

• Have contributed to or maintained technical documentation, developer blogs, or tutorial content in a professional or open-source setting.

• Have built or contributed to documentation tooling or developer portals.

• Have a portfolio of writing samples, such as published tutorials, API guides, or technical blog posts.

• 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
