## Job description

### About Naive

Naive is building autonomous companies: agent systems capable of operating real businesses end to end.

We release autonomous company templates and benchmarks, alongside a studio—where users can deploy and operate these systems. Our infrastructure platform, Vetta, powers long-running, high-volume agent workloads.

We’ve raised a $28.5M Series A from Nexus Venture Partners, Y Combinator, Zetta Venture Partners, Liquid 2 and leading operators.

### The Role

Build Naive Studio: the interface where users deploy and operate autonomous companies. You’ll own features from product concept and UX through engineering, launch and growth.

### What You’ll Do

-   Build full-stack with Next.js, TypeScript, Python and FastAPI
-   Design polished, intuitive interfaces for complex agent systems
-   Own features from customer research and prototyping through launch
-   Create demos, launch content and campaigns for what you ship
-   Turn usage data and customer feedback into product decisions
-   Establish a high bar for design, performance and shipping velocity

### Must-Haves

-   Strong full-stack engineering and UI/UX ability
-   Exceptional product taste and attention to detail
-   Experience shipping a 0→1 product
-   Real experience building with LLMs and agentic systems
-   Strong written communication and product-marketing instincts
-   High agency—you independently identify and solve problems

### Nice-to-Haves

-   Ex-founder or early startup engineer
-   Experience with developer tools or AI-native products
-   Familiarity with agent orchestration, MCP or SDK design
-   Experience producing demos, launch videos or technical content
