The opportunity
We just shipped Fireworks Nexus: a drop-in platform that lets engineering organizations route their AI workloads off expensive proprietary models and onto high-performing open models like Kimi-K3 and GLM-5. 2, without changing how a single developer works.
What you'll do
Own product features end-to-end across Nexus and the broader Fireworks: platform: the intelligent router, FireConnect harness integrations, cost observability, enterprise controls and policy, the developer console, API surfaces, the model playground, fine-tuning workflows, and billing, scoping the problem, building it, shipping it, instrumenting it, and iterating on real usage.
Build the routing and migration layer that scores request difficulty in real: time and sends routine work to open models while passing hard tasks through to a customer's existing provider—the system that delivers 3–5x cost reductions without sacrificing quality.
Make adoption frictionless: extend FireConnect and our Anthropic- and OpenAI-compatible APIs so a team can drop Nexus into their existing tools with just a base URL and a model ID, and improve the caching and infra paths that turn that into material cost savings.
Work across the full stack: frontend (React/TypeScript), backend services (Python, Go), APIs, and data layers, to ship polished, production-quality product surfaces for deeply technical users.
Build for products evolving week to week: new models, new serving paths, new consumption models, new enterprise controls, and new multi-agent harness tooling.
Partner closely with Infrastructure, Applied Research, Growth, Data, and: Design to turn raw platform capability into products developers love.
What they're looking for
- Instrument everything you build and let the data tell you where the friction is — then remove it.
- + years as a software engineer, with meaningful time spent building and shipping user-facing products.
- Strong full-stack skills, comfortable across frontend (React/TypeScript),: backend (Python, Go, or similar), APIs, and databases.
- A track record of shipping developer-facing products: APIs, dashboards, consoles, CLIs, or developer tools.
