Hello, we’re nao Labs

We are building an open-source AI agent for data analytics.

We are an early stage start-up with 2 cofounders - we joined Y Combinator Spring 2025 batch and STATION F and are now based in Paris 11.

We already have a first product - AI IDE for data people - used by 100+ data teams. We are now rolling out a new product - the open source analytics agent. So we’re looking for a founding engineer to help us build it!

We are a cofounding team with 18+ years experience in data/AI:

Claire, our CEO, was Data Scientist at BCG Gamma, then head of data at sunday
Christophe, our CTO, was staff Data Engineer at FreeNow, then worked as a freelance for Blablacar, Qonto. He then created his own blog and data community, blef.fr

You have strong product instinct: you care about UX & design quality
You want to join an early-stage startup and build tech and team from scratch
You’re ready to work independently, ship fast and 80/20, make decisions, and own outcomes.

As we will be a small team of 4 people, we like to have everyone bring the most they can to the product. So we’ll work as a team on tech/product roadmap, and you’ll be fully included in the sales/business strategy as well.

You will

Own and build across the entire stack — frontend, backend, and AI features
