Requirements
- 5+ years building external-facing developer products — APIs, SDKs, or developer platforms widely used by engineers.
- Strong API and SDK design instincts; you've shipped libraries that developers integrate with and you have opinions about what makes them good.
- Strong TypeScript skills; we're a TypeScript shop and TypeScript is widely used across the AI ecosystem.
- AI-forward in your own workflow and interested in what agentic systems can do.
- High agency and a bias toward action — you spot something missing in the developer ecosystem and ship it without waiting for a ticket.
- Comfortable owning a product line at a small company where boundaries between teams are fluid.
- Strong written communication; docs, changelogs, and SDK reference material are part of the job.
- Pragmatic about tradeoffs between speed and simplicity.
Nice to Have
- Prior experience at developer-centric companies
- Hands-on experience designing or maintaining agent SDKs or other agentic developer tooling.
- Existing user of OpenRouter, contributions to open-source projects, or side projects in the AI tooling space.
