EngineeringManager

LiteLLM is the world's most popular AI Gateway, trusted by top companies like Adobe, Netflix, and NASA. Our platform empowers developers by providing secure, reliable access to LLMs and adjacent services, and we're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team building the leading OSS AI gateway. About The Role You own the outcomes, the process, and the team. You won't write all the code, but you own how the team ships: engineering productivity, code quality, release health, hiring, and the open-source community. You'll hold engineers accountable to the metrics they set for themselves, keep quality high as we ship fast, and own the enterprise relationship when things get hairy. This is director-level scope with a direct line to Head of Engineering, reporting to the founder/CTO.

Responsibilities - Hold engineers accountable to the metrics they set for themselves, and own the team's goals so they ship what they commit to - Keep release health high as the team moves fast: stand up tracking, run root-cause on what slips through, own a weekly quality sync - Drive well-architected, consistent code patterns across the team - Own the technical roadmap with the CTO, including the Rust migration, and keep big changes gradual rather than overnight rewrites - Own enterprise escalations end to end: a clear plan, crisp updates, and a fast path to resolution - Analyze capacity needs, define the roles, and hire the engineers when more capacity is needed - Look out for the open-source community and protect open-source adoption as the team scales What We're Looking For - Been an EM before, with a track record of managing and shipping through a team - Metrics-driven: has stood up reliability or productivity metrics (on-time ship rate, regressions per release, MTTR) and used them to find root causes - Has k
