Head of Growth

About the position

We’re seeking a Head of Growth —a rare hybrid of a technologist and storyteller—who can architect growth strategies, articulate LiveKit’s technical value to the world, and build a function that sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and marketing. You should be as comfortable building out a growth roadmap or mentoring a team of technical marketers. This is a high-impact role. You’ll be responsible for setting the vision, leading execution, and scaling a technical growth function that deeply understands developers and how to reach them. Your success will directly influence adoption, engagement, and the future of the LiveKit platform.

Responsibilities

• Contribute and scale LiveKit’s go-to-market strategy from a technical lens, ensuring we are building awareness and adoption among our most important users: developers.
• Own mid and top of funnel conversions.
• Define the growth function, including hiring, mentoring, and setting goals for a team of technical marketers and advocates.
• Develop compelling, technically accurate narratives that resonate with developers, product teams, and technical buyers across industries.
• Oversee strategic product launches, ensuring messaging, positioning, and content are aligned and impactful across all touchpoints.
• Create and review high-quality technical content, including architecture diagrams, tutorials, blog posts, SDK examples, and sample apps.
• Act as the voice of the developer, bringing user feedback and market trends to influence product strategy and roadmap prioritization.
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering, product, sales, and developer success to align on positioning, outreach strategies, and enablement materials.
• Establish metrics and feedback loops to measure the effectiveness of growth efforts and continuously improve technical marketing outcomes.

Requirements

• Has deep experience marketing to developers and knows how to earn their trust.
• Has led or built technical product marketing or growth teams in a startup or fast-paced tech environment.
• Has an instinct for honest, accurate communication—and avoids fluff at all costs.
• Thrives at the intersection of storytelling and technology, and can simplify complexity without dumbing it down.
• Is a doer and builder by nature, with a bias for action and experimentation.

Nice-to-haves

• Direct experience working with WebRTC or real-time communication infrastructure.
• Past roles in developer relations, developer experience, or open source advocacy.
• A portfolio of technical content (blog posts, talks, demos, etc.) that showcases your communication style.
• Experience with API-first or infrastructure platforms.
