Staff Product Manager, Inference

ABOUT LIVEKIT

LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the voice-driven era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice AI applications for OpenAI, xAI, Salesforce, Coursera, Spotify, and thousands of others, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're looking for a Product Manager to own LiveKit Inference: the gateway that gives developers managed access to the best models for voice AI, through a single integration.

Our PM team is small and high-leverage, with each PM coming in to establish the foundations in a new area of the business. Inference is one of the most important revenue-generating products we have. It needs a dedicated owner, and that would be you.

You'll set the vision and roadmap for LiveKit Inference, from which models and providers we offer to how we think about the space evolving strategically over the medium and long term. You’ll partner directly with the engineering team that builds it. This product involves both commercial relationships with frontier model labs as well as direct model hosting and optimization: we recently launched a voice-optimized deployment of Gemma 4 31B, and we're scaling up to become the go-to inference provider for voice workloads. The goal is to make LiveKit Inference the obvious default over wiring up model providers directly, easier, faster, cheaper, or better, and eventually good enough that companies come to LiveKit for voice inference itself. The model landscape moves faster than almost anything in software, and you'll decide how LiveKit stays ahead of it.

This role can be based remotely or in our SF office, and offers the chance to be part of a collaborative in office culture!

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU:

- are obsessed with making the best product for our customers

- are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems

- work ...
