About the Role

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own customer success @ LiteLLM. You will work with our most important accounts, and be responsible for meeting them regularly, helping with their rollouts, and unblocking them with any feature requests/bugs they might face.

  • Drive product roadmap, by surfacing larger technical gaps/opportunities to the product team.

What We're Looking For

  • Technical depth and real familiarity with the LiteLLM product surface

  • Obsessed with customers and making them successful with the product

  • Obsessed with solving root causes rather than patching over problems

  • Excellent customer-facing communication (clear writing, calm execution) + high responsiveness (Slack-first)

  • A strong bias toward understanding problems deeply

Why Join LiteLLM?
