OpenAgents Austin Hiring
A recruiter post says OpenAgents is hiring ML, product, and growth engineers in Austin, listing pay at $60–120/hr paid in bitcoin and asking applicants to DM their GitHub instead of sending resumes. The job post circulated with visible engagement — the social share logged dozens of likes and multiple reposts (x.com).
OpenAgents, an Austin startup building software that pays for computing work in bitcoin, is recruiting engineers through social posts instead of a standard job board. (openagents.com) (github.com) OpenAgents’ public site says its Pylon product lets users “sell your compute for bitcoin,” and its GitHub repository says its Autopilot software runs on a user’s computer and can earn bitcoin for completed work. (openagents.com) (github.com) The company presents itself as Austin-based across its public materials. OpenAgents’ website says “Made in Austin, Texas,” and Texas business records indexed by Bizapedia list Openagents, Inc. as active in Texas with an Austin principal office address and an April 19, 2023 filing date. (openagents.com) (bizapedia.com) The hiring pitch fits the way OpenAgents describes its product. Its documentation says Bitcoin is the “settlement layer” for its agent economy, with payments moving over Bitcoin and Lightning, a faster payment network built on top of Bitcoin for small transfers. (docs.openagents.com 1) (docs.openagents.com 2) The company’s recruiting style also matches its developer-first posture. OpenAgents’ GitHub organization shows more than 100 public repositories, and its main codebase has hundreds of stars and frequent recent commits. (github.com 1) (github.com 2) OpenAgents’ documentation says its desktop agent is “local-first,” meaning it runs on a user’s own machine rather than only in a company cloud. The same docs describe a future marketplace where agents can buy compute and skills and settle those transactions automatically. (docs.openagents.com 1) (docs.openagents.com 2) That makes an Austin recruiting push notable for a company that is still building out its marketplace and payment rails in public. As of April 14, 2026, OpenAgents’ site showed 877 total Pylons, 202 seen in the last 24 hours, 192 online now, and 825,435 sats in payouts paid. (openagents.com) OpenAgents did not appear to have a conventional public careers page in the material reviewed, and its public-facing properties lean heavily on GitHub, docs, and product demos. For applicants, that means the code they have shipped may matter as much as a formal resume. (openagents.org) (github.com)
