About the role

About Naïve

Naïve is an autonomous company builder — we let businesses deploy AI employees to create/run entire companies. We're a $120M company backed by Y Combinator, Softbank, Vijay Krishnan (Founder of Turing), and more.

We're looking for someone who can be a product leader while getting their hands dirty shipping fast.


What You'll Do

  • Work directly with the CEO / CTO to define product strategy, roadmap, and priorities
  • Be a leader on the product / engineering team — set direction, unblock execution, raise the bar
  • Build full-stack across Next.js + TypeScript (frontend) and Python / FastAPI (backend)
  • Own product launches end-to-end — from spec to build to GTM
  • Talk to customers constantly and translate product analytics / feedback loops into product decisions
  • Drive quality: UX, performance, reliability, and velocity

The Role

You build. You lead. You own the outcome. You'll be the connective tissue between vision and execution — defining what we build, why, and making sure it ships well.


Must-Haves

  • High Agency
  • Strong full-stack engineering (Next.js, TypeScript, Python)
  • Prior experience leading product at an early-stage startup — 0→1 at minimum once
  • Ability to context-switch between writing code and making product calls in the same day
  • Real LLM experience — tool use, agentic systems, structured outputs
  • Strong product instincts and taste

Nice-to-Haves

  • Ex-founder or technical co-founder background
  • Experience shipping developer-facing or AI-native products
  • Multi-agent systems or agent orchestration experience
  • Familiarity with agent runtimes, MCP, or autonomous workflow tooling
