About this role
We are looking for 3 Founding AI Product Engineers with 2+ years of experience to join LiteLLM and help build the next generation of AI infrastructure products. You'll work directly with the founders to talk to customers, identify what developers need, and ship production features at speed. This is a hybrid product and engineering role at a meaningfully profitable company ($14M+ ARR, growing 20% MoM) trusted by Nvidia, NASA, Netflix, and the Department of Defense. We need someone who thrives in ambiguity, has strong product intuition, and has demonstrated the ability to build and ship at an early-stage startup.
What will you be doing?
Talking directly to customers to understand pain points, validate solutions, and translate feedback into shipped features
Building new product features end-to-end — from concept to production code — using Python and FastAPI
Working with the founders to define and build LiteLLM's second major product
Prototyping new ideas, iterating based on real user feedback, and shipping quickly
Owning major product areas across backend APIs, dashboard, and developer experiences
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
Know someone who'd be great for this?
