Your job is to become the trusted voice of developer education for OpenRouter. As a developer first, you understand AI infrastructure deeply, you've built with large language models, and you're fluent in the tradeoffs developers face when choosing models, architectures, and tooling. You will build and scale OpenRouter's developer education presence across YouTube, Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit, and other community channels—helping developers make better architectural decisions and use OpenRouter effectively.
This is a hands-on, founding DevRel role. In year one, you will be the primary creator and community presence, with the opportunity to shape how the function scales over time.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute OpenRouter's developer education strategy across YouTube, Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit, and other community channels.
- Create high-quality tutorials, videos, guides, code examples, and reference architectures focused on real production use cases.
- Be deeply present in developer communities and OpenRouter's Discord—answering questions, spotting patterns, and building trust.
- Synthesize developer feedback into actionable insights for product and engineering teams.
- Represent OpenRouter publicly through talks, writing, and community discussions on AI architecture and multi-model systems.
- Partner with Product Marketing, Engineering, and Support to ensure educational content is accurate, discoverable, and aligned.
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
- OpenRouter is consistently referenced as a canonical resource for multi-model AI architecture and model selection.
- A small number of high-quality tutorials, repos, or videos become default entry points for new developers.
- Developer questions in community channels are increasingly answered by peers, not just staff.
- Clear, actionable developer insights regularly inform product decisions and roadmap prioritization.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in developer relations, developer education, or a closely related technical role.
- Experience at a developer tools company, infrastructure platform, or API-first product.
- Proven track record creating technical educational content that drives real developer adoption.
- Deep hands-on understanding of AI/ML, large language models, APIs, and modern developer workflows.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain complex systems clearly.
- Comfort with public speaking and representing a company in technical forums and events.
- Self-directed and entrepreneurial; able to define problems, identify leverage, and execute independently.
- Comfortable being publicly visible and camera-ready as a representative of OpenRouter.
Nice to Have
- Experience building or scaling developer communities.
- Background running workshops, hackathons, or structured education programs.
- Familiarity with OpenRouter or public writing/speaking on multi-model AI approaches.
- Experience with video production, streaming, or multimedia technical content
