Staff Engineer, AI
LiteLLM, San Francisco
The role
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.
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.
Every week a provider ships something new: a new API, a new modality, a new feature. The promise of LiteLLM is that it works with all of them on day one. Your job is to keep that promise: new endpoints ship on day one, open source translation issues go down, and developers can count on LiteLLM to keep up.
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.
What you will do
- Lead the unified API team and own new model, endpoint, and provider rollouts end to end.
