You've outgrown building for other people's visions. This is the role where that changes.

Most co-founder searches look like senior engineering roles with a vague equity line at the bottom. This isn't one. Perhire is backed by Build3, has a live WhatsApp matching POC already in use, and is heading into a new funding round. We need a technical co-founder who can stand alongside us as co-builder and as the CTO that raise requires. We're looking for someone who wants to own the architecture from day one, not inherit a spec and execute against it.

We're building in the future of work space. A specific corner of it that's large, under-built in India, and overdue for an AI-native approach. We'll share the full picture in the first conversation; we just don't put the thesis on a job post.

About Perhire:

We're an AI-native platform rethinking how talent and work connect. Clients get curated, vetted matches. No bidding wars. Talent gets scoped briefs that fit their expertise. No proposal spam. We have a live WhatsApp matching POC, backing from Build3, and a platform build starting Q2 2026 post-raise.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

- 6-10 years building and shipping production systems you owned end-to-end.

- Hands-on with LLMs or multi-agent AI. Not tutorial-level, production-level.

- Comfortable making architecture calls when the requirements are still moving.

- Python and/or Node.js fluency; strong instincts on infrastructure, APIs, and data models.

- Based in or willing to be in Bangalore.



This is a build-together role.

What you'll build:

- An AI-native product from 0→1. You make the architecture decisions, not just implement them.

- Multi-agent systems built for production, not demos.

- Infrastructure that handles real user load from day one. No "we'll scale it later" debt.

- A technical foundation across backend, AI layer, API design, and eventually a small engineering team.

- A co-founder relationship built on direct communication, shared ownership, and honest disagreement.

Our process:

- First call: we share the full picture. What we're building, the technical challenge, and what the partnership looks like.

- Technical session: your past work, your architectural thinking, your honest red lines.

- Collaborative session: how we solve a real problem together, in practice.

- Term sheet conversation: equity structure, draw, and the shape of the founding arrangement.

Perks

What you're getting into:

- Co-founder title and real equity, negotiated fairly and structured from the start.

- Monthly draw discussed on call, based on what works for both sides.

- Full technical ownership from day one. You own the stack decisions.

- A validated foundation: 200+ client requests, 100% delivery rate, a live WhatsApp matching POC, backed by Build3.

- Bangalore-based with flexibility on how we structure day-to-day working rhythm.
