Description
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
