“WE'RE HIRING FOUNDING ENGINEERS AT WTF,” Kamath began on X, adding that they are “building one of the most exciting projects yet at WTF, something that will shape us as a brand, as a platform, and (hopefully) create a far wider impact with and for the youth of India”.

Giving details, he said that the core team “will work directly with me and a handful of the best folks from WTF”.

“This is on-site in Mumbai, full-time. Ground floor. High stakes. Real impact,” he added.

Want to apply? Here’s who Nikhil Kamath is looking for:

• 4–5 Founding Engineers ready to roll up their sleeves.

• Builders who’ve taken products from 0 → 1 and scaled them.

• Strong fundamentals, obsessed with end-user experience.

• Comfortable making smart trade-offs across scale, cost, and latency.

• AI-native thinkers who can straddle frontend, backend, ML, infra, and stitch it all together.

• The curious ones who tinker, break, hack, and rebuild. If you’ve been exploring with LLMs, Cursor, or AI-first tools, even better.

“Show us your GitHub repos, the side projects, experiments, and crazy hacks that reflect your curiosity,” he added.
