About the role

  • We are hiring an Infrastructure Security Engineer to improve the security posture of the production platform that carries that data.
  • think like both a builder and a breaker, and understand security from first principles
  • take an automation-first and pragmatic approach to risk mitigation

Responsibilities

  • Find the gaps that could lead to customer data loss or infrastructure compromise, agree a prioritized security debt backlog with engineering, and close the highest-risk items first.
  • Build guardrails and secure defaults into our infrastructure as code so the secure path is the easy one for engineers.
  • Partner with our Compliance team to map infrastructure controls to PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 and automate the technical evidence those audits depend on.
  • LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the voice-driven era of computing.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in security engineering, infrastructure engineering or SRE, with a significant share of that focused on infrastructure security.
  • A track record of owning infrastructure security for a production platform.
  • A pragmatic approach to risk: you can explain why a finding matters to the business and how fast it needs to be fixed.

Nice to have

  • Experience with real-time media, networking or WebRTC systems.
  • Experience in AI security, such as securing LLM applications or agent infrastructure.
  • Incident response or application security experience.
  • Experience supporting compliance audits such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 or HIPAA.
  • Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
  • LiveKit is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable law.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary and equity package

Company info

  • 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.
  • Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe agents in production.
