We are on the path to $100M in ARR with 20%+ monthly growth, powering thousands of searches every day and making Juicebox one of the fastest-growing AI SaaS companies in the world.

Strong engineering fundamentals and experience building and shipping production systems.

A track record of leading complex technical initiatives while balancing people leadership, technical judgment, and execution.

Strong communication skills and experience partnering across product, design, and business teams.

A bias toward action and the ability to lead effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

You’ve helped scale an engineering organization or product through significant growth.

You’ve built AI-powered products using LLMs or worked with search technologies such as OpenSearch or Elasticsearch.

You’ve been an early engineer or engineering leader at a startup.
