## 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.

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
