About This Role:
LiveKit is building the modern, open platform for real-time audio and video. Developers use our SDKs and APIs to add interactive video, voice, and live media features into their apps. 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.
What you'll do
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Own content quality by identifying and fixing inconsistencies, outdated references, or unclear explanations.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.
You might be a good fit if you
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.
Bonus points if you
