Norvia Labs builds open-source tools for putting AI agents to work inside limits you set.

Forge is our terminal coding environment where AI agents run inside an OS sandbox. It's written in Rust, MIT-licensed, and in public beta: github.com/norvialabs/forge

Conclave, coming soon, lets teams of AI agents and people work together with limits built in: bounded runs, approvals for anything that changes the world, and Studio, a no-code builder.

The Founder's office works directly with the founder on whatever moves the company forward. We're hiring interns across four tracks. Pick the one that fits you best.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRACK 1: GO-TO-MARKET

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Own how developers discover, try, and stick with Forge, and help launch Conclave.

What you'll do

- Get developers from "never heard of Forge" to "installed it and shipped something." Find where they are (Hacker News, Reddit, Rust and AI-agent communities, GitHub) and show up with useful content, not ads.
- Write walkthroughs, comparisons, and short demos that teach the problem Forge solves.
- Help plan the Conclave launch: early-access list, who to talk to first, launch-day posts.
- Talk to users and report what stopped them.

You might be a fit if
- You've used a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar) enough to have opinions about it.
- You write clearly and can explain a technical idea without hype.
- You're comfortable reaching out to people you don't know and following up.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRACK 2: DESIGN ENGINEERING

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Design and build the interfaces that make AI agents understandable and trustworthy.

What you'll do

- Build UI for Conclave Studio, a canvas where people build, test, and run teams of agents.



It shows the plan while you edit and the live run while it runs.
- Design the moments where trust is won or lost: what an agent did, what's blocked, and what needs a person's approval.
- Polish norvialabs.com and the Forge site.
- Prototype fast, test with real users, ship, and repeat.

You might be a fit if
- You design and code. You can take a rough idea to working HTML/CSS/JS yourself.
- You care about the details: type, spacing, motion, empty states, error states.
- You have a portfolio or projects with live links.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRACK 3: FULL-STACK DEVELOPMENT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Build the runtime and product that agents and people actually run on.

What you'll do

- Ship features across Conclave's Python runtime, REST API, and Studio's web frontend.
- Build integrations agents work through (GitHub, issue trackers, chat, documents), including OAuth and permissions.
- Harden the limits that make agents safe to run: budgets, approvals, run evidence.
- Write tests, fix real bugs, and own features end to end.
- Bonus: contribute to Forge (Rust).

You might be a fit if
- You've built and shipped something with a backend and a frontend, and can show the code.
- You're comfortable in Python and JavaScript; Rust is a plus.
- You read unfamiliar code before changing it, and you test what you ship.
- You use AI coding tools and know where they fall short.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRACK 4: RESEARCH ASSOCIATE





━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Turn questions about AI agents and the market into evidence we can act on.

What you'll do

- Compare agent frameworks and tools (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, coding agents) by building the same task in each and writing up what you find.
- Design and run evaluations: where agents fail, how often, and what limits actually prevent.
- Research markets and users: who needs bounded, auditable agents, and what they use today.
- Write clear, sourced briefs that lead to decisions.

You might be a fit if
- You're curious and rigorous. You separate what you measured from what you assumed.
- You can write code well enough to run experiments (Python preferred).
- You write clearly, with sources.
- Bonus: a background in CS, ML, HCI, or economics, or published writing or research.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ALL TRACKS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What you get

- Work directly with the founder, an engineer with 18 years building platforms at Booking.com, LinkedIn, Postman, and Moveworks.
- Real ownership, with shipped, public work you can point to.
- A certificate and, for robust work, a detailed letter of recommendation.
- Flexible hours. Can count toward academic internship credit.

How to apply

Put your track in the first line of your resume or application note, along with:
- Go-to-Market: links to 1–2 things you've written.
- Design Engineering: your portfolio (live links preferred) and one interface you think is badly designed, with how you'd fix it.
- Full-Stack Development: your GitHub, or a project you built with a link to its code.
- Research Associate: one piece of research or analysis you've written, and a question about AI agents you'd want to answer.
