Forward Deployed Engineer
LiteLLM is the world's most popular AI Gateway, used by the largest companies in the world (Adobe, Netflix, NASA) to give their developers access to LLMs and adjacent services (MCPs, Vector Stores, etc.).
About the Role
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own our support queue and drive our customers to success. Because LiteLLM is a developer tool, this person needs to be technical. You'll dig into our customers' issues, understand them deeply, and unblock them.
The core of this role is simple: work the queue, address tickets, and make our customers successful with the product. We're looking for someone who is obsessed with getting to the root cause of problems rather than applying surface-level fixes. The best people in this role understand the real depth of a problem before they solve it.
Responsibilities
Own the support queue and work through tickets to drive customers to success
Diagnose customer issues and solve for the root cause, not just the symptom
Reproduce customer issues in their specific environments
Submit pull requests for bug fixes and improvements where needed
Act as the technical voice of the customer back to engineering
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
Metrics-driven and hardworking, ready to move through a high volume of tickets
A strong bias toward understanding problems deeply
About the Interview
Intro call (30 mins)
Take-home exercise: You'll work with real customer tickets to demonstrate your troubleshooting approach, your ability to debug effectively, and how quickly you can set up LiteLLM to reproduce reported problems.
3-day onsite: You'll join us in person to work directly with our team so we can see how you support customers in real time and how well we work together.
