# Staff Engineer, Systems and Reliability

LiteLLM is the world’s most popular AI Gateway, trusted by companies like Adobe, Netflix, and NASA. We’ve grown ARR 6x in the last year to nearly $30M with a team of 20, and thousands of companies run production AI through LiteLLM across 100+ provider integrations. We're looking for a Staff Engineer to own the stability and reliability of the gateway. About the role This is a hands-on staff role. You'll find the components behind our regressions and security issues, and refactor or rewrite them so the same problem doesn't come back in 20 places. You'll raise the quality of the codebase through your own code and review, not process documents. LiteLLM is mission-critical infrastructure for our customers. When it breaks, their AI products break. You'll make sure that happens less, and that we know before they do. You’ll work with our security and infrastructure team and report to the CEO, and later to our Head of Engineering. This role is in person in San Francisco. We help with relocation and support H-1B transfers. Responsibilities Find the root causes of regressions and security issues and fix the patterns that create them. Lead refactors, rewrites, and migrations of core product
