نجم · Naijm — We are hiring

Ten seats in Dubai.

The smartest people we know are faster than the companies they work for. So we built one with nothing to wait on: ten people, no managers, frontier models pointed at real operations, and pay written on the result.

×4 — The work

Four ways in.

Each seat is a tenth of the company — your work will show, everywhere, immediately. Choose the one you'd bet yourself on.

Engineers

Somewhere along the way, they made you pick: the business or the code. Here you take both: walk into a claims floor and learn it cold, then replace it with a system that runs for years with your name on it. No PRDs, no handoffs. What you ship is what the client pays for.

Apply — Engineers
×2 openHackers — illustrated portrait

Hackers

Security here is a seat with a target on it. You break our systems before anyone else can and own how client data moves. You hold up the one promise the whole business stands on: the data never leaves. Load-bearing.

Apply — Hackers
×2 openBiz Devs — illustrated portrait

Biz Devs

You've sold things you didn't fully believe in — everyone senior has. This is the other kind: find the operation bleeding money and the person who owns it, then price the deal on savings we actually prove. When your deal pays, you're paid on the same line.

×2 openStorytellers — illustrated portrait

Storytellers

Most marketing jobs hand you nothing worth saying. This one hands you too much: real systems shipped inside real companies, ten strange people worth filming, a city racing into AI, and a name that means star. Make it impossible to forget. The only brief is taste.

born after — The company

AI-native, not AI-assisted.

Most companies were designed before the technology that now runs them — an org chart from 1950 with a chatbot bolted on. Naijm starts from the other end: four jobs, no middle layer. Agents are the operating core, and they do the work departments used to.

Y Combinator now funds this shape by name. Their recent requests for startups call for AI-native service companies that “just do the work” instead of selling tools, and for the first ten-person, hundred-billion-dollar company — run on one metric: revenue per person. They're describing us.

Every person here runs fleets of models. Ten seats is the design.

no religion — The tools

No religion about models.

We're agnostic on principle: frontier models where the ceiling matters, open weights where control does. We re-test constantly because the answer changes every quarter, and whatever wins in production stays.

You will never wait on a procurement cycle to try something. The day a new model drops, it's in the harness by lunch.

three industries — The playground

A playground you can't rent.

Real operations in construction, retail, and education, with their data and their people, at production stakes. Three industries, three different machines. The problems never repeat.

And when something we build deserves to be its own company, we fund the spin-off. Our best people leave to run companies we back. That's the ceiling here.

nine things — The bar

Who does well here.

The bar is high, and the people who clear it tend to share nine things. None of them is a credential.

  1. α
    You've built and shipped

    A lab, a startup, your own thing — sold or died, doesn't matter. You've shipped things people actually used.

  2. β
    You go deep, fast

    You take the whole problem and make your own plan.

  3. γ
    You think in cost, not demos

    You know what your system costs and whether it earns its keep. A demo doesn't move you.

  4. δ
    You want the result on your name

    We're paid on what we save the client, and we split it. You should want the cut, not just the salary.

  5. ε
    You change your mind

    You hold your opinions hard and drop them the moment the facts move. Curiosity over being right. If you've never said “I was wrong” and felt fine about it, this will hurt.

  6. ζ
    You want it straight

    Feedback here is direct and unsoftened, and the people who do best ask for more of it. If you need to be read between the lines, you'll be waiting a while.

  7. η
    You're calm when it's hot

    Stress is allowed. Leaking it isn't — not onto the client, not onto the people beside you.

  8. θ
    You outlast everyone on rigor

    Anyone can be rigorous for a week. We want the one still rigorous in month nine, when it's dull and no one's watching.

  9. ι
    You want freedom, and you can be trusted with it

    The more your last job boxed you in, the more this one breathes. Everything here runs on trust — we keep the people who can hold it.
