Senior Backend Engineer

LiteLLM is the world's most popular AI Gateway, trusted by top companies like Adobe, Netflix, and NASA. Our platform empowers developers by providing secure, reliable access to LLMs and adjacent services, and we're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help us build rock-solid guardrails and observability tooling at scale.

You’ll focus on owning our guardrails and logging world-class. You will be in charge of the backend code that ensures all guardrail calls are consistently logged, errors are surfaced to users (not silently swallowed), and our observability instrumentation works for real-world, high-volume traffic. Your attention to detail in areas like latency metrics, logging traceability, and backend guardrail registration will directly impact user trust in our security and compliance features.
