About this role
OpenRouter is hiring for a Software Engineer, Ori role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.
Requirements
- 5+ years shipping production software, with real ownership of developer tools, CLIs, agent products or the infrastructure behind them.
- Daily fluency with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi or Hermes, and specific opinions about what makes an agent loop, a harness or a tool integration good.
- A solid grasp of how agents work under the hood: tool calling, context management, prompt caching, evals, and the cost, latency and quality tradeoffs between models.
- Good systems judgment for running agents safely: sandboxing, process isolation, secrets, and reliability across many users.
- High agency and a bias toward action. You talk to users, prototype, ship and iterate on a small team with fluid boundaries.
- Product taste for developer tools. You notice interaction details and care how the first five minutes feel.
