LiveKit provides a platform that lets developers build, test, deploy and monitor AI‑driven voice and video agents at scale. The company’s infrastructure layer supports real‑time media for customers such as OpenAI, Salesforce and Spotify. As a Solutions Architect (Pre‑Sales) you will work directly with an account executive to translate a prospect’s requirements into a concrete architecture, create live demonstrations and proof‑of‑concept implementations, and guide the customer from initial discussion to production deployment. Daily tasks include designing cloud‑native solutions on AWS, GCP or Azure, building reference applications with the LiveKit SDKs, troubleshooting latency and reliability issues, and producing technical content such as blogs, guides or webinars. The role also requires feeding field feedback to product and engineering. The position suits engineers with four or more years of solutions‑architecture or sales‑engineering experience, strong hands‑on knowledge of containers, Kubernetes and infrastructure‑as‑code, and solid programming skills in Python, TypeScript/Node or Go. Excellent communication, the ability to demo to technical and executive audiences, and a curiosity for real‑time media and AI agents are essential.
ABOUT LIVEKIT LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the agentic era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe AI agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice and agentic AI applications for OpenAI, Salesforce, Spotify, Meta, and tens of thousands of other developers, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year. ABOUT THIS ROLE We're hiring a Solutions Architect (Pre-Sales) to be the technical partner to the engineers and enterprises building on LiveKit.

This role is ideal for someone who loves to build, is energized by talking with other engineers, and takes pride in turning a hard technical problem into something that just works. Real-time voice and video is visceral — latency, quality, and reliability are felt, not read about — so the best conversations include something live. You'll collaborate closely with our Sales, Engineering, Product teams to win technical decisions and to make sure what you hear in the field informs how we build.
