We're used in healthcare, fitness, virtual events, customer support, gaming, and more — anywhere people collaborate or connect live online. We are 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.

    **Key Responsibilities:**
    *   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    *   Own content quality by identifying and fixing inconsistencies, outdated references, or unclear explanations.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.

    **Required Skills and Experience:**
    *   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 for experience with or interest in building documentation tooling or developer portals.
    *   Have a portfolio of writing samples, such as published tutorials, API guides, or technical blog posts.

    **Compensation:** The estimated pay range for this role is $153,000 - $207,000. This role is eligible to participate in LiveKit's equity plan.

    **Benefits:** We offer competitive salaries, equity options, comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision), flexible vacation policies, and the opportunity to work with world-class engineers on cutting-edge technology.
