About Juicelabs

Where creative engineering meets applied AI.

We build vertical, AI-native tools that unlock fresh insights and creative superpowers for clients in advertising, ecommerce, and beyond. We're a nimble team of founders and builders obsessed with using AI to solve real problems in ways that didn't exist eighteen months ago.

The Opportunity

A year ago, we would have posted this as a backend role. That role doesn't really exist any more.

Code has become nearly invisible. Agents write it, test it, and iterate on it faster than anyone could read it. What's left is the work above it: deciding what's worth building, designing systems that hold up at 10x, and building the setup that turns a clear spec into working software.

That's the job. At your level, it isn't one system. It's several workstreams, running at once.

You'll work directly with our Cofounder/CTO on products going from zero to one, with AI at the core of both what we build and how we build it. Real ownership, real scope, and an unusual amount of leverage: one engineer with good judgment and a well-tuned agent setup now ships what a small team used to.

What you'll do

• Own multiple workstreams in parallel. Two or three features of the same product moving at once, each with its own scope, edge cases, and failure modes. You decide where your attention goes this week, and nothing goes stale.
• Run a fleet, not a single agent. Design the setup that makes high-throughput work possible: how work gets broken down, specced, and run across many agents at once, so output scales without things breaking.
• Design the system. Service boundaries, data models, failure modes. Make the architectural calls before a line gets generated, and be able to explain the trade-off six months later.
• Write the spec. PRDs and technical designs are the new source code. A vague spec produces confidently wrong software, fast. Scope, edge cases, non-goals, what "done" means.
• Own it end to end. Ideation → design → build → deploy → monitor → iterate, including functional UX. Nobody hands you tickets.
• Set the workflow. Bring your harness: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, subagents, custom commands, eval loops — whatever makes agents reliable rather than merely impressive. We want to steal your good ideas.

What we're looking for

• High agency. You see the gap and close it. You don't wait for direction, and you don't need to be chased for follow-through. This is the single trait we screen hardest for. And you can do it across several workstreams at once, without dropping threads.
• Real system design depth. You can reason about consistency, caching, queues, and scale — and about complexity, because you need to know when an elegant-looking solution is quietly quadratic. LeetCode ninja not required. Being able to explain why this won't blow up at 10x, very much required.
• Clear thinking, put to paper. You get the thinking straight first, then write it down so nobody has to guess: PRDs, design docs, PR comments. Writing is most of how you'll direct both humans and models, and muddy thinking on paper becomes muddy software.
• You've shipped to production. Deployed things, monitored them, been paged by them, fixed them. Docker, CI/CD, cloud infra. Our stack is mostly Python (FastAPI), Postgres, GCP/AWS — but we care more about how you think than which framework you've memorised.
• You orchestrate AI, not just use it. Not "I've tried Copilot," and not just "I use Claude Code." You've run multiple agents in parallel and developed opinions: how to split work so they don't step on each other, where they excel, where they confidently lie, how you structure a repo so they don't wander, and how you verify what comes back at volume.
• Startup energy. Multiple hats, fast cycles, and the judgment to balance "ship it now" against "will this survive contact with real users?"

Experience

3–6 years of professional experience (full-time positions, excluding internships).

Tech Lead – Backend

Roles & Responsibilities

The company is building the operational backbone for how B2B enterprises run their business.

As a Tech Lead on the backend team, you will own the technical direction for a core domain of the platform—systems where correctness is non-negotiable, scale is unforgiving, and edge cases never stop coming. You will also mentor Senior Engineers in your pod.

This is a hands-on role: you will write code and design systems yourself day to day, pair on complex problems, review the work of engineers around you, and be the person who figures out what's actually broken before it becomes a fire.

You will report into the Engineering Manager / Head of Engineering. This is not a feature-factory role. You are here to raise the level of abstraction the team works at, not simply to ship tickets faster.

What You'll Own

• Design and build core platform services that handle complex business logic reliably at scale.
• Architect and own integrations with external enterprise systems, including their quirks, rate limits, and failure modes.
• Build APIs that enterprise engineering teams actually want to integrate with, not just ones that technically work.
• Own production debugging end to end: diagnose issues across services using logs, traces, and metrics, and make incidents boring rather than fires.
• Embed security and compliance thinking into your systems by default, not as a retrofit.
• Mentor Senior Backend Engineers in your pod: pair on hard problems, review their work, and help them grow as engineers.
• Set the architectural direction for your domain: choose frameworks, patterns, and abstractions that shape the platform for years.
• Lead design reviews and code reviews, and set the technical standard the rest of the team calibrates against.
• Hold a clear bar for quality, follow-through, and ownership across the engineers you work with, ensuring systems are healthy in production, not just merged.
• Partner with Product, Implementation, and Customer Success as the engineer who understands the system deeply enough to challenge requirements when necessary.
• Raise the technical bar for the engineers around you without slowing the team down.
•
