TLDR LiteLLM is an open-source LLM Gateway with 27K+ stars on GitHub and trusted by companies like NASA, Rocket Money, Samsara, Lemonade, and Adobe. We’re rapidly expanding and seeking a founding full-stack engineer to help scale the platform. We’re based in San Francisco. What is LiteLLM LiteLLM provides an open source Python SDK and Python FastAPI Server that allows calling 100+ LLM APIs (Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, VertexAI, Cohere, Anthropic) in the OpenAI format We have raised a $1.6M seed round from Y Combinator, Gravity Fund and Pioneer Fund. You can find more information on our website (https://www.litellm.ai/), Github (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm) and Technical Documentation. (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/) Why do companies use LiteLLM enterprise Companies use LiteLLM Enterprise once they put LiteLLM into production and need enterprise features like Prometheus metrics (production monitoring) and need to give LLM access to a large number of people with SSO (secure sign on) or JWT (JSON Web Tokens) What you will be working on Your main responsibility will be to make sure that LiteLLM unifies the format for calling LLM APIs in the OpenAI spec. Doing this involves writing transformations to transform the API request from the OpenAI spec to the format of the LLM provider.
