Site Reliability Engineer, Provider Operations

OpenRouter

Remote · United States$20,417–24,583 gross/mofull-timeOpenRouter Careers

We're hiring our first AI Inference SRE to own the operational health of our provider supply. You'll make sure every endpoint we route to is fast, correct, and available, and that we detect and route around problems before customers do.

Responsibilities

  • Provider health and observability.
  • Build and own monitoring for every provider and endpoint: latency, throughput, error rates, uptime, and output correctness.
  • Set SLOs per provider tier and alert on them.
  • Detection and failover. Improve how quickly we detect degraded endpoints, and work with the routing team so traffic shifts away from them automatically.
  • Incident response.
  • Own on-call for provider incidents: triage, mitigate, communicate with providers, run postmortems, and drive follow-ups to closure.
  • Provider accountability. Turn telemetry into scorecards and SLO reporting that providers act on, and be the technical escalation point when a provider's endpoint is misbehaving.
  • Quality regression detection.
  • Build continuous canaries and evals that catch silent regressions (quantization changes, broken tool calling, truncated streams, pricing or usage-reporting mismatches), not just outright downtime.
  • Automate the toil. Replace manual provider-ops work (disabling endpoints, capacity changes, deprecations, rate-limit tuning) with safe, auditable tooling.
