About the role
OpenRouter is the largest, most battle-tested AI model exchange: 300+ models from 60+ providers, processing ~30 trillion tokens monthly. Instead of hand-rolling routing logic and juggling provider keys, you route through OpenRouter once and let Auto Router pick the best execution path for every request - with automatic failover when providers degrade. We power some of the most advanced AI builders in the world by giving them the flexibility to move fast, scale confidently, and stay future-proof as models evolve. The Role We’re just getting started with events at OpenRouter, and we don’t want to do boring ones. We’re looking for an Event Marketer that can take ideas, run with them, and turn them into events and experiences people actually want to show up to. This is a hands-on, execution-first role. You’ll work across Marketing, Sales, and EPD to bring ideas to life - whether that’s a scrappy founder dinner, a polished conference activation, or something we haven’t tried yet. If you’re the kind of person who hears “we should do something here” and immediately starts making it real - this role is for you.
