What changed for openrouter
| change | why it matters |
|---|---|
| Summary rewritten to lead with platform infrastructure scale (675M+ engagements, 50K TPS, sub-25ms TP99) and multi-provider LLM routing | JD's core requirement is hands-on EM who understands routing/serving at scale — these are the strongest proof points that mirror OpenRouter's mission |
| Intuit reordered to lead experience section (moved above Streamio/Fintellect) | Intuit has the highest relevance score (5) with direct platform infrastructure at enterprise scale — strongest fit signal for the role |
| Intuit title reframed to 'Platform Infrastructure & Developer Tooling' (accurate scope) | JD owns 'platform team' and 'developer tooling' — mirrors JD language while remaining factually accurate to the role's actual scope |
| Intuit rSocket/throughput bullet moved to position 1 | JD success metrics imply routing throughput and reliability at scale — 675M+ / 50K TPS / sub-25ms TP99 is the single strongest proof point |
| Streamio reframed around OpenClaw as 'routing and orchestration layer' and TypeScript platform engineering | JD bonus points include TypeScript-heavy environments and AI routing infrastructure side projects — OpenClaw gateway is directly analogous to LLM routing |
| Fintellect reframed to lead with 'multi-provider LLM orchestration layer with fallback routing across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini' | This directly mirrors OpenRouter's core value proposition of routing across providers without lock-in — strongest language alignment |
| Splunk title reframed to include 'Distributed Platform' | JD requires distributed systems expertise — Go microservices ownership and 10x query optimization are the strongest proof points from this role |
| Projects section reordered: aeval leads (FastAPI/Redis/TimescaleDB infrastructure stack), followed by RL Workbench, AutoEval, BRAIN | aeval demonstrates the most infrastructure-native stack (FastAPI orchestrator, Redis job queue, TimescaleDB) most relevant to OpenRouter's platform engineering |
| Bank of America role removed from experience section | Relevance score 1 — summer associate role adds no signal for platform EM; space optimization for 2-page target |
| Additional Information first bullet added: 'Active OpenRouter-adjacent builder' | JD bonus points explicitly call out existing OpenRouter users and active side projects in AI infrastructure — this directly addresses that criterion |
| Deep Learning Education Platform project removed | Lowest relevance to platform infrastructure EM role; space optimization for 2-page target |
| Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory entry removed from projects | Protein/RNA computational biology has no relevance to platform infrastructure EM; space optimization |

Tailored summary
Hands-on technical leader with 12+ years building and scaling platform infrastructure — from routing 675M+ LLM-style engagements at 50K TPS (sub-25ms TP99) at Intuit to architecting multi-provider LLM orchestration with fallback routing as a founder. Proven engineering manager who ships code, owns architecture decisions, and drives platform reliability at scale across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. NeurIPS published researcher; active builder of AI routing, edge compute, and inference infrastructure side projects.
