Founding Engineer

About the job

Founding Engineer @ Bindu 🌻 We are creating Bindu 🌻 The identity, communication & payments layer for AI agents. Dreaming of a world where agents gossip, argue & collaborate like a real society of their own. 💛 Why This Role Exists Raahul (yes, me 👋) has been building Bindu with an unhealthy mix of optimism, stubbornness, and caffeine with water. Now it’s time to bring in a founding engineer who : • Writes elegant, clean code • Breaks things responsibly • Enjoys debugging distributed systems without crying (much) • Wants to put their fingerprints on the earliest layers of agent infrastructure • Thinks like a founder, not an employee If you enjoy the 0 → 1 → “cluster is on fire but we can fix it” journey, you’ll fit right in. 🌻 What You’ll Work On • Build production-ready systems for DID, A2A / AP2 communication, X402 payments • Scale our infra to run tens of thousands of agent containers • Design APIs, CLIs, SDKs, and developer workflows people actually love • Build small, elegant services that do one thing really well • Turn complexity into simplicity again and again. Bonus points if you enjoy deleting code more than writing it. 🌻 Who You Are • You think in systems, not tasks • You can go deep (Python, Go, Rust — whatever works) • You care about developer experience • You move fast without breaking your brain • You love memes but love shipping more • You can handle Raahul’s “quick thought…” voice notes at strange hours If you’ve ever explained a distributed system using hand gestures and a napkin, you’re our person. 🌻 What Working With Us Feels Like • Pace : YC-energy without the YC batch (yet) • Ownership : If you build it, it’s yours • Chaos : The good kind — the “future is happening here” kind • Vibes : 40% jokes, 60% shipping, 100% mission • Internal Joke : If you break prod, no worries. We’ll just promote you to Chief Hotfix Officer. Comes with unlimited respect and absolutely no extra salary and may be a japanees Whisky. 🌻 What You’ll Get • Founder-level responsibility, this is not a side seat • Meaningful ESOP : we can’t pay you like Google yet, but we can give you something Google won’t :actual ownership in something we intend to make big • A chance to define the foundations of agent infrastructure • A front-row seat to something that will outgrow all of us • Freedom to design, build, break, fix, and influence everything • Direct access to Raahul (could be a strong pro, could be a mild warning 😄) • The upside of joining early, if Bindu succeeds the way we intend,your shares won’t just matter; they will change your life Because honestly : We can’t out-salary FAANG, but we can out-dream them and we’re willing to share that dream. 🌻 How to Apply (The Bindu Way) No CVs. No cover letters. No 12-page PDFs named resume_final_FINAL_v9.pdf. If you want to join Bindu, show us how you think and how you build : 1. Go to the Bindu GitHub ➡️ https://github.com/getbindu/bindu Read the README. Browse the code. Feel the vibe. 2. ⭐ Star the repo Because appreciation is free, and GitHub stars fuel my self-esteem. 3. Start a Discussion Drop a message. Ask a question. Suggest something. We care more about your curiosity than your credentials. 4. Open a Pull Request Any of the following qualifies : • Fix a bug • Improve the DX / CLI • Build a tiny feature • Refactor something ugly • Add clean docs or examples We’re not judging what you build, we’re judging how you think, debug, communicate, and collaborate. 5. Bonus : Tell us what you’d build next One paragraph is enough. Show us your mental model of Bindu and the Internet of Agents. ❗ Important (Really Important) :This job description is not written by ChatGPT. It’s written by a human (hi again 👋). So when you apply : Please don’t copy-paste a ChatGPT-generated response. We can tell. Give us your real thoughts, your real code, your real brain. That’s who we want to build Bindu with. • Cheers Raahul
