About the role

  • the difference is which domain you go deep on.
  • The best technical companies built proprietary tools, and you'll have the chance to do that at OpenRouter.
  • Getting the last 20% right - reliability, edge cases, the unglamorous finishing work - and earning adoption across a team that has other options is the actual job.

Responsibilities

  • Build internal agentic workflows end-to-end on OpenRouter, from prototype to production, that automate support and GTM operations
  • Own the reliability of what you ship: evals, guardrails, and monitoring, so automation is trustworthy rather than flashy
  • Drive measurable impact - deflect support volume, accelerate GTM motions, cut manual toil - and prove it with data
  • Work directly with support, GTM, and engineering to find the highest-leverage workflows to automate next
  • Build-over-buy conviction. You build on internal tools first and champion them over polished external options, even when the internal path is slightly more painful. You buy only for genuine expertise, never for something buildable in a day.
  • A security mindset. You'll be building integrations with broad internal access. You think about permissions, blast radius, and the second-order effects of what an agent is about to do before it does it.

Requirements

  • Hands-on with ticketing, CRM, sales ops, or customer-facing workflows, so you know which work is actually worth automating.

Nice to have

  • Experience across three or more agent harnesses.
  • We don't need expertise in any one of them
  • we want to see that you've tried things.
  • Production LLM/agentic systems shipped with strong engineering fundamentals
  • Open-source contributions to dev tooling or agent frameworks

Skills

  • Excellence, time-boxed. A near-perfect bar, but disciplined enough to ship rather than polish forever.
