## About the role

AI Gateway gives developers one place to connect applications and agents to hundreds of models with one API key. It handles provider routing and fallbacks, unifies billing and observability, and lets teams manage spend and security controls across production AI workloads.

## What they're looking for

- Your work shows what you personally identified, designed, built, shipped, and learned after launch
- You build production-quality web applications with React and TypeScript and can contribute confidently in a large, existing codebase
- You bring strong visual and interaction craft and have made technical or data-rich products understandable without removing the control advanced users need
- You can move between graphical interfaces, CLI workflows, API behavior, and implementation details, treating accessibility, performance, failure recovery, and instrumentation as part of the design
- You use customer research and product data to make decisions, communicate your reasoning clearly, challenge ideas constructively, and change direction when the evidence changes
- You use coding agents in your daily work, but you can explain, test, debug, and take responsibility for the code they help produce
