About this role

OpenRouter is hiring for a Software Engineer, Platform role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 5+ years building and operating production infrastructure at companies where uptime, latency, and cost matter.
  • Proven experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure) and edge-first serverless platforms (e.g. Cloudflare Workers)
  • Deep expertise in operating large scale databases (e.g Postgres, Spanner, etc).
  • A full-stack TypeScript shop won't faze you; you can move across the stack when the platform needs it.
  • High agency and a bias toward action. You don't wait for tickets — you see the bottleneck and fix it.
  • AI-forward in your workflow. You use coding agents, MCPs, and LLMs heavily and have opinions about what works.
  • Pragmatic about tradeoffs between speed and simplicity.
