Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain the LiveKit Rust SDK and the shared Rust core modules that power LiveKit’s multi-platform client ecosystem

Lead by example — guide and mentor engineers with less Rust experience, promote share code, best practices, and foster a culture of high quality, maintainable, and testable Rust code

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (client SDKs, agents, cloud teams, PMs) to ensure smooth integration, shared standards, and consistent developer experience

Own the testing, CI/CD, and release processes for Rust projects, ensuring reliability and stability across environments

Profile and optimize performance in real-time, low-latency systems to push the boundaries of what’s possible in LiveKit’s SDKs

Contribute to SDK architecture and design decisions, shaping the long term technical direction for both the Rust SDK and cross-platform SDK interoperability
