Role summary

Naïve, an AI company builder backed by Y Combinator and Softbank, is seeking a Growth Engineer to build and scale growth initiatives. This role involves owning SEO/GEO, developing content engines (programmatic SEO, blog automation, UGC pipelines), managing the developer community (Discord, hackathons), driving PR and launches, and building internal tools like dashboards and attribution systems. The ideal candidate is a full-stack engineer with a strong growth track record, excellent writing skills, and comfort using LLMs as tools. Preferred qualifications include experience with large-scale programmatic SEO, developer community management, and early-stage startup growth.

**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 a Growth Engineer who builds growth like a product — content systems, agent discovery infrastructure, and developer community at scale.

**What You'll Do**

* Own SEO + GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — make Naïve the default answer when an agent asks "how do I form a company / open a bank account / run KYC"
* Build content engines — programmatic SEO, blog automation, UGC creator pipelines, doc → distribution flows
* Run our developer community — Discord, hackathons, sample apps, integration partners
* Drive PR + launches — coordinate releases, write developer-facing content, ship landing pages
* Build the tools you need — internal dashboards, attribution systems, content automation
* Ship measurable growth experiments weekly

**The Role** \
\
You don't write a content brief and hand it off. You build the system that produces content, ranks it, attributes it, and compounds. You can write the SEO pages, the scraper that finds target queries, the agent eval that checks if ChatGPT recommends us, and the launch tweet — all in the same week.

**Must-Haves**

* High Agency
* Strong full-stack engineering (Next.js, TypeScript, Python)
* Demonstrated growth track record — you've moved a metric, not just managed an agency
* Strong writing — launch posts, docs, tweets, SEO pages
* Comfortable with LLMs as tooling — content gen, agent evals, scraping pipelines
* Taste — visual, written, brand

**Nice-to-Haves**

* Programmatic SEO at scale (10k+ pages)
* Run a developer community before (Discord, hackathons, OSS)
* Familiarity with how agents discover and rank tools (MCP registries, agent search, LLM rec systems)
* Prior 0→1 growth at an early-stage startup
