**What We're Looking For**

- Technical depth and real familiarity with the LiteLLM product surface

- Obsessed with customers and making them successful with the product

- Obsessed with solving root causes rather than patching over problems

- Metrics-driven and hardworking, ready to move through a high volume of tickets

- A strong bias toward understanding problems deeply
