About Open Router
Open Router is the open AI routing and infrastructure layer that enterprises use to access, manage, and optimize the best large language models across providers—without lock‑in, capacity constraints, or unnecessary cost. We power some of the most advanced AI teams in the world by giving them the flexibility to move fast, scale confidently, and stay future‑proof as models evolve. As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates, Open Router sits at the center of how organizations operationalize LLMs across research, product, and production workloads.
The RoleWe’re looking for a Developer Relations Lead to become the trusted voice of developer education for Open Router. You will be the person developers think of when they learn how to integrate with Open Router and how to design, evaluate, and operate multi‑model AI systems in production. You are a developer first. You understand AI infrastructure deeply, you’ve built with LLMs, and you’re fluent in the tradeoffs developers face when choosing models, architectures, and tooling.
This is a hands‑on, founding Dev Rel role; in year one you will be the primary creator and community presence, with the opportunity to shape how the function scales over time. This role is not about selling. It is about education, community trust, and establishing Open Router as the default learning resource for AI builders.

- Background running workshops, hackathons, or structured education programs.
- Familiarity with Open Router or public writing/speaking on multi‑model AI approaches.
