LiveKit is the default infrastructure layer for real-time AI — the platform that gives AI the ability to see, hear, and speak. From powering voice for millions of ChatGPT users to enabling drone teleoperation at Skydio and serving as the backbone for roughly 25% of 911 emergency calls in the U.S., LiveKit handles the real-time media layer that production AI applications depend on.
Over 300,000 developers and 5,000+ companies — from leading AI labs to Fortune 500 enterprises — run production workloads on LiveKit. We've raised $181M from investors including Index Ventures, Altimeter Capital, and Salesforce Ventures, and we're growing fast.
Your focus is building LiveKit's technology alliances — real, direct partnerships with companies like AWS, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Cartesia. You'll find the partners where we can build a joint solution or integration, then go win enterprise deals together — the kind of partnership where two engineering and go-to-market teams actually work the same account side by side.
are obsessed with turning technology partnerships into joint solutions and real enterprise business for LiveKit
can walk into a room of engineers at a partner company and earn credibility fast, then turn that credibility into a joint roadmap
know how to build a partner program's structure and process from nothing
can get a sales team and a partner's sales team actually working the same account together
are a fast learner who picks up a new partner's product and go-to-market motion quickly enough to spot the real integration opportunity
The best way to impress us is with a point of view on how you'd build a joint solution and go-to-market motion with one of the companies we actually want to partner with (AWS, Snowflake, a model or STT/TTS provider — pick one), and ideally some hands-on familiarity with what LiveKit actually does 😊
Build and own LiveKit's technology alliances — direct, strategic partnerships with cloud, data infrastructure, AI/model, and developer platform companies (think AWS, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia)
Identify partners where LiveKit can build a joint solution or product integration, then build the mutual go-to-market motion on top of it
Act as the connective tissue between the sales team and special projects (like joint testing and go-to-market work with model companies)
Build a repeatable technology alliances program from the ground up, defining the playbook as you go
Turn partner interest into real, trackable pipeline and follow every relationship through to actual co-sell wins
Experience in technology alliances, strategic partnerships, platform partnerships, or a technical business development role, with a track record built around direct partnerships with technology companies
Have built integrations plus a mutual go-to-market motion, ideally having built a technology alliances function from 0 to 1
Technical enough to be genuinely credible in a room of engineers or technical stakeholders — you don't need to write code, but you need to understand what you're partnering on
A track record of following through on relationships to real, closed business outcomes
Comfortable operating with a lot of ambiguity — the program doesn't fully exist yet, and you'll be shaping it
Existing relationships with cloud, data infrastructure, or developer platform companies (AWS, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB, or similar)
Existing relationships with AI model, STT, or TTS providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, or similar)
Experience building a joint GTM or co-sell motion alongside a product integration, not just a partnership MOU
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
