You’ll be at the front of the industry. Labs and inference providers want to reach OpenRouter’s users, so this team gets early access to novel inference offerings, often through exclusive and stealth launches, and gets them live on day zero.
Responsibilities
- Lead the team: hire and grow strong engineers, set the roadmap, stay hands-on in code reviews and incidents, and advocate for the team with leadership.
- Core Provider: own provider adapters, the endpoint lifecycle, and routing. Be the technical counterpart for top providers, run day-zero and stealth launches, and work with GTM, BD, and legal to get providers from signed NDA to live in weeks, not months.
- Multi-Modal: lead the expansion beyond text into image, video, audio, and embeddings, plus realtime and batch inference.
- Benchmarks: own evals and inference quality, and turn that data into routing decisions and direct feedback that makes providers better.
