About LiveKit

An open source framework and developer platform for building, testing, deploying, scaling, and observing agents in production. Backed by Index and Redpoint.

About the role

A lot of technical recruiting jobs at startups are a sprint: a big hiring push, a pile of reqs, then a hiring freeze and a reorg. This isn't that. Our engineering hiring is steady and it's going to stay that way, so we want someone who'd rather go deep with a handful of engineering teams than churn through whatever's on fire this week. The tradeoff: you'll be expected to actually understand what you're hiring for and how your work impacts the business overall. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, mostly in-house
  • You've owned senior and staff-level engineering searches and closed them
  • You can hold a real conversation with an engineer about their work
  • You source proactively and know how to build and sustain a strong bench
  • You've recruited for infrastructure, developer tools, open source, or AI companies
  • You've built or rebuilt a recruiting process from scratch
