LiteLLM is the world’s most popular AI Gateway, trusted by companies like Adobe, Netflix, and NASA. We’ve grown ARR 6x in the last year to nearly $30M with a team of 20, and developers use LiteLLM to call 100+ LLM providers through one API. We're looking for a Staff Engineer to lead our unified API team and make sure every new model and provider works with LiteLLM on day one. ABOUT THE ROLE This is a hands-on technical lead role. You'll own how LiteLLM unifies LLM APIs across the OpenAI and Anthropic specs, lead the engineers who build it, and set the bar for what good looks like.

You’ll lead our open source pod, where most issues are LLM translation issues. You’ll report to the CEO, and later to our Head of Engineering. This role is in person in San Francisco. We help with relocation and support H-1B transfers. RESPONSIBILITIES - Lead the unified API team and own new model, endpoint, and provider rollouts end to end. - Design provider-agnostic features at the gateway level, such as session management for non-OpenAI models. - Triage open source issues and outside PRs (new providers, translation fixes) and get them merged, reviewed, or replaced with an internal fix. - Review the AI team's PRs and hold a high bar for code quality, including code written with AI. - Find the power users in your area and use what they need to decide what to build next. - Take on new unification bets with a customer who will use them and give feedback. - Own the developer experience for everyone who uses LiteLLM's Python SDK and proxy. What is our tech stack The tech stack includes Python, FastAPI, Redis, Postgres. We're moving the gateway to Rust. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - You've been a…
