Full Job Description
Technical Product Manager

We9re looking for a Technical Product Manager who wants to work directly with the founders to figure out what developers need, ship quickly, and build products that thousands of engineering teams use every day.
About the Role

This isn9t a traditional product management role, and it isn9t a traditional software engineering role.

NOTE: You will spend 50% of your time coding, and 50% of your time talking to users.

You9ll spend your time talking to customers, understanding their problems, designing solutions, writing production code, and shipping features. One week you might build a new authentication flow, the next week you9re redesigning an onboarding experience, integrating with a new provider, or launching an entirely new product.

If you enjoy owning a problem end-to-end-from idea to production-you9ll thrive here.
Responsibilities
  • Build new product features from concept to production.
  • Work directly with customers to understand pain points and validate solutions.
  • Ship quickly while maintaining a high quality bar.
  • Prototype new ideas and iterate based on user feedback.
  • Own major product areas and continuously improve them over time.
  • Design backend APIs and services using Python and FastAPI.
  • Build intuitive developer experiences across our API, dashboard, and CLI.
  • Collaborate directly with the founders on product direction and technical decisions.
  • Help define and build LiteLLM9s second major product.
What We9re Looking For
  • Bachelor9s or Master9s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Experience as a product manager or associate product manager at a company
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience building production software, preferably with Python.
  • Comfortable moving across the stack when needed (backend, frontend, infrastructure, APIs).
  • Strong product intuition and curiosity about how customers use software.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication.
  • High ownership-you naturally identify problems and solve them without waiting to be asked.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
  • Excited by shipping quickly and learning from real users.
Bonus Points
  • Experience at an early-stage startup.
  • Experience building developer tools or infrastructure products.
  • Open source contributions.
  • You9ve built and launched your own product.
  • Familiarity with AI infrastructure, LLMs, or developer platforms.
Why Join LiteLLM?
  • Work directly with the founders every day.
  • Build products used by thousands of engineering teams around the world.
  • Own meaningful product decisions-not just implementation.
  • Move incredibly fast and see your work in production immediately.
  • Help define the future of AI infrastructure and developer tooling.
  • Competitive salary, equity, health, dental, and vision benefits.
