Remote Senior NA Software Engineer REST TypeScript Python Documentation

Requirements

• Prior experience at developer-centric companies • Hands-on experience designing or maintaining agent SDKs or other agentic developer tooling. • Existing user of OpenRouter, contributions to open-source projects, or side projects in the AI tooling space. • The base salary for this full-time position in the United States, spanning multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $215,000 to $285,000 plus benefits & equity. Compensation for internationally based candidates will vary to reflect local market conditions.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our public REST API and the developer experience around it — from API design and ergonomics to versioning, errors, and rate-limiting behavior. • Build and maintain our client SDKs across TypeScript and Python, and lead the launches of our upcoming SDKs. • Ship our Agent SDK, expanding it into a surface for multi-step, agentic workloads built on OpenRouter. • Treat documentation, examples, and starter repos as products — instrument what developers and AI coding agents land on first, and make sure those are strong entry points to OpenRouter. • Make every developer-facing surface agent-friendly, given that AI coding agents are users of our APIs and SDKs. • Collaborate with our DevRel, Product, and Platform teams to identify gaps in the developer ecosystem and run with them end to end.
