About the role

We’re hiring the first Product Manager for OpenRouter Connect. Connect opens a new growth channel by letting partners offer multi-model inference to their customers inside their own products. We’re building a platform for platforms, enabling any company whose customers need inference to integrate and distribute it with the controls and observability that partners and their customers need. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of product management or founder experience building platform, API, or infrastructure products that other companies' engineers build on
  • You've shipped partner-delivered, multi-tenant products. Another company integrated, white-labeled, or resold what you built (B2B2B or B2B2Dev), and you've worked through the tenant, identity, and billing questions that come with it
  • A zero-to-one track record. You’ve taken a product from design partners to general availability and are comfortable with the ambiguity, hard tradeoffs, and tight feedback loops that come with it
  • High agency and a bias toward action. You talk to partners, write specs, ship, and iterate on a fast team with fluid boundaries. You write clearly and often
  • Strong technical judgment. You read API specs, call the SDKs yourself, review observability and product metrics, and are opinionated about customer facing api surfaces, auth models, partner integrations, usage metering, and tenant isolation
