Are the go-to person for tackling ambiguous, high-impact problems

About This Role:
We're looking for a Product Designer to join our Growth team, focused primarily on product-led growth surfaces.
You'll partner closely with a Growth PM and a dedicated engineering team to improve onboarding, activation, conversion, and retention across the core LiveKit product. This role is ideal for a designer who is scrappy, fast-moving, deeply thoughtful about developers, and unwilling to compromise on craft.
You'll work across multiple small-to-medium initiatives at once, shipping improvements frequently, learning from real usage, and raising the bar for product experience as LiveKit scales.
What You'll Do:
Design and ship product-led growth initiatives focused on activation, conversion, and retention
Own and evolve onboarding and early product experiences within the LiveKit Cloud dashboard, core product, and additional surfaces.
Identify where developers stall, get confused, or drop off — and turn insights into clear, shippable improvements.
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Docs to move from insight → experiment → shipped iteration.
Design across product and developer-facing surfaces, including:
- Cloud dashboard and onboarding flows
- In-product education, setup flows, and empty states
- Documentation, tutorials, and developer onboarding content
- SDK entry points, examples, templates, and GitHub READMEs
Balance speed and quality — moving quickly without sacrificing usability or craft
Contribute to and evolve LiveKit's design system to support scalable, repeatable growth work
Collaborate with other designers to keep the overall product experience cohesive and high quality
While you may occasionally collaborate with Marketing or Web on entry-point alignment, this is a product-focused role
Who You Are:
5+ years of experience designing products, ideally for developers or technical audiences
Strong UX, interaction and visual design skills, with a portfolio showing polished, real-world shipped work
Deep empathy for how developers learn, explore, debug, and adopt tools
Comfortable moving fast, iterating, and juggling multiple initiatives
Able to zoom out to understand systems, funnels, and flows, while still sweating interaction details
A clear communicator who can explain design decisions, tradeoffs, and rationale to cross-functional partners
Highly proficient with Figma and modern design workflows
Nice-to-Haves:
Experience designing onboarding, activation, or growth-oriented product surfaces
Familiarity with developer tooling, APIs, or OSS ecosystems
Comfort reading or writing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or working closely with React / Tailwind
Experience collaborating with docs, developer education, or DevRel teams
Our Commitment to You:
We care deeply about building a team where people can do the best work of their careers — with autonomy, trust, and a high bar for craft.
- An opportunity to build something truly impactful at global scale
- The chance to contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
- Competitive salary and equity
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Flexible vacation policy
