About the role

Hiring the first Product Manager for OpenRouter Connect to own a new growth channel that enables partners to offer multi-model inference within their own products. Build a platform for platforms with abstractions, controls, and observability, directing end-to-end surface from partner engagement to onboarding, usage visibility, and billing.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Connect roadmap end to end. You’ll own prioritization and requirements definition across partner integration and onboarding, provisioning APIs, controls and guardrails partners need per customer and per end user, and usage visibility and billing.
  • Set the strategy. Determine and prioritize the target partner segments and define the competitive positioning for each. Set the goals for Connect across partner and end user activation, engagement, and retention.
  • Work directly with design partners. Join prospect interest and integration calls, unblock their engineers, and understand partner and end customer needs to determine the roadmap.
  • Work with engineering and design to ship. Make scope and sequencing calls to ship fast, iteratively, and with a high bar of quality and developer experience. Ensure Connect is a set of reusable abstractions, not one-off integrations.
  • Push platform gaps back into the core. When Connect exposes a missing management endpoint, analytics dimension, or guardrail primitive, drive it into the core product so every OpenRouter customer benefits.
  • Shape the commercial model with go-to-market. Partner with our Partnerships and Finance teams on the business model and terms that make Connect a win-win-win for partners, their end customers, and OpenRouter.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product management or founder experience building platform, API, or infrastructure products that other companies' engineers build on.
  • You've shipped partner-delivered, multi-tenant products. Another company integrated, white-labeled, or resold what you built (B2B2B or B2B2Dev), and you've worked through the tenant, identity, and billing questions that come with it.
  • A zero-to-one track record. You’ve taken a product from design partners to general availability and are comfortable with ambiguity and tight feedback loops.
  • High agency and a bias toward action. You talk to partners, write specs, ship, and iterate on a fast team with fluid boundaries. You write clearly and often.
  • Strong technical judgment. You read API specs, call the SDKs yourself, review observability and product metrics, and are opinionated about customer facing api surfaces, auth models, partner integrations, usage metering, and tenant isolation.
