## About the role

LiveKit is looking for a Startup Program Lead to own LiveKit Startups, the program that gives early-stage teams building voice AI the credits and the stack they need to get to a working product, through a single application. Building a voice agent means assembling a lot of moving parts, and most of that assembly happens in the weeks when a team has the least budget and the least leverage with any vendor. The program exists to take that off a founder's plate at exactly the point it's most in the way.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in startup programs, ecosystem or platform partnerships, developer growth, or GTM at a developer infrastructure company. Founder experience counts
- You've built a program rather than inherited one. You've written the criteria, the terms, the landing page, and the follow-up email
- Comfortable on the commercial side. You can structure a partner agreement and manage external relationships
- Technically credible with developers. You don't need to write production code, but you should be able to talk architecture with a founder without an engineer in the room
- Operationally rigorous. This program runs on a repeating monthly cycle, and you're the reason it doesn't slip
