About the role

OpenRouter is one of the fastest-moving companies in AI, and we're opening our first office in New York City. You'll set the vision for what it's like to work there, then build it. When a meeting room connects on the first try, a new hire is up and running before lunch on day one, or the wifi holds through an All Hands, that's your work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Several years in hands-on IT operations
  • Real experience standing up office tech, not just maintaining it: AV and conference rooms, enterprise networking (Ubiquiti a plus), and physical access control
  • Admin-level fluency with SSO and MDM on a Mac-first fleet
  • Experience hiring and managing outsourced vendors: MSPs, AV installers, ISPs, network and wifi specialists, and hardware suppliers
  • Clear, proactive communication, whether you're explaining a network cutover to leadership or walking a new hire through their first login
  • Real empathy for the people you support. You know "my laptop is broken" usually means "I have a demo in ten minutes."
