Responsibilities
- 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
- Design across product and developer-facing surfaces, including: In-product education, setup flows, and empty states
- Design across product and developer-facing surfaces, including: Documentation, tutorials, and developer onboarding content
- Design across product and developer-facing surfaces, including: 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
Requirements
- 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 Have
- 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
Benefits

Team
Structure: Growth team
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.
