- **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, Liquid 2, DeepCore, Vijay Krishnan (Founder of Turing), and more.
We're hiring interns who ship and hope to convert to full-timers.
**What You'll Do**
* Work directly with the CEO / CTO and the engineering team on real production features
* Build full-stack across Next.js + TypeScript (frontend) and Python / FastAPI (backend)
* Own a primitive or feature end-to-end — spec, build, ship, iterate
* Push code to production in your first week
* Talk to real customers and turn their feedback into shipped product
* Work on agent infrastructure that powers companies running themselves
**The Role** \
\
You're not here to learn the codebase by reading it. You're here to extend it. Our best interns have shipped features that landed on the changelog, written blog posts that hit the front page, and converted to full-time before their internship ended.
**Must-Haves**
* High Agency
* Strong full-stack engineering skills — can ship a feature in Next.js + TypeScript or Python without hand-holding
* Built and shipped something real — side project, OSS, hackathon win, prior internship product
* Comfortable with LLMs as tooling — API calls, prompts, tool use
* Move fast, take feedback, push back when you're right
**Nice-to-Haves**
* Prior internship at an early-stage startup (seed → Series B)
* Open source contributions
* Built with agent frameworks
* Currently enrolled in a CS / EE / math program — or dropped out of one to build
