The Role: Founding Engineer
As a founding engineer you’ll play a key role in engineering and product decisions, working closely with the founders.
While your job title says “Engineer”, your role will be very closely tied to product work, focused on questions like:
- How can we optimize the ranking of our profile results?
- What new search filters or data sources can we add to our engine?
- How can we delight our users in the first 5 minutes of signing up to Juicebox?
You will design, build, and execute product features from end to end — many of which will be built on LLMs.
Recent projects have included fine-tuning a model to extract relevant insights from profiles and building feedback loops for improving search queries.
In addition to engineering work, you will engage with customers, investors, and the founding team to develop your own theses on product direction. You will also implement improvements based on your customer interactions.
Our current tech stack includes:
- Next.js + React
- Node.js
- Firebase, OpenSearch (ElasticSearch)
- AWS SQS, Glue, etc.
- Open Source + OpenAI LLMs
About You
- You’ve built something from scratch — a startup, project, or feature.
- You are hands-on, move fast and learn best by building.
- You’ve shown excellence: be it in your education, work experiences, projects, or anything else you can share.

- Hyper focused on the customer.
