About this role
Own the provider marketplace that connects developers with inference providers on OpenRouter. You’ll build marketplace mechanisms, provider-facing tools, and economic incentives to improve supply-demand matching, service quality, and access to AI inference.
About the company
OpenRouter is a unified API that routes requests across large language model providers so developers can access, switch, and scale models without lock-in or complex multi-provider integrations.
