Vp Of Engineering

At Juiced we’re building the future of selling online – where resellers can easily source, list and manage their inventory with the click of a button.‎

‎Juiced is a reseller platform that provides tailored product recommendations, cross-platform listing, inventory/order management, website restock notifications, detailed sales analytics, 70+ premium tutorials, and much more to online sellers. This is just the start though. Our end goal is to build a fully autonomous agent that can power someone’s online selling business. Using the power of AI and automated systems, and with aggressive expansion, we hope to make this a reality over the next 18 months.

Despite working on our platform for 3 years now, we’re still in our early days. In March last year, we secured $100k in investment for 10% equity from 2 angel investors. Besides this, we’ve mainly bootstrapped our company to date, leveraging various ventures such as Juiced’s Discord membership, a marketing agency, and other revenue streams to sustain us as we developed Juiced’s software platform – which for us was always the long term goal.

Our team currently consists of three co-founders: Ben, overseeing CEO and business operations in the US; Shubham, serving as CTO and handling backend development in India; and Suraj, our CPO focusing on frontend development, also based in India. Additionally we have 3 full time contractors that work on the marketing side of the business.

As we reach a pivotal stage in our growth, we recognize the need to expand our team beyond our 2 technical co-founders and to switch from remote work to in-person work here in Miami. Therefore, we are actively seeking a full-time VP of Engineering and a full-time Senior Frontend Engineer to join the team. These new hires are crucial to our upcoming launch, scheduled in just two months.

If you’re seeking an easygoing job with unlimited PTO, then this job isn’t for you. We’re searching for hardcore developers who are up for the adventure of a lifetime and who share our passion and commitment to building the future go-to platform for sellers across the globe. We’re effectively looking for a fourth co-founder here.

Additionally, candidates must be open to travel to Marbella, Spain for our launch hackathon from April 19th to May 19th, 2024 at our investor’s Spain villa and collaborating in-person with Ben at our Miami ocean-facing workspace/living space from May 20th, 2024, and onwards.

‎

The benefits of joining the team

– $36,000 to $60,000 in annual salary

– 20,000 3-year stock options and 20,000 performance-based stock options (equivalent to around 4% equity at this current time).

– Miami Beach, ocean-facing beach-front apartment workspace/living space (check out our crib here: office.juiced.io).

– Meals and rent paid for by the company (shared apartment with the founder and CEO Ben as well as the senior frontend engineer).

– Free flights and holidays for business meetings and hackathons (eg: Spain April/May 2024 trip and many other future trips we plan to do together).

– State-of-the-art gym access, swimming pool, indoor sauna, Cuban restaurant and our favorite; the beach is right on our doorstep.

What we’re looking for in you

– You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.

– You are looking for an exciting opportunity that isn’t just about the money but is about the mission. You’re not looking for a boring job, but an adventure of a lifetime that excites you.

– You move fast and are quick to adapt to different situations. You’re comfortable with an agile workflow and are a flexible person.

– You’re never tired of learning. You want to build new and innovative features with the use of AI, machine learning, and automated systems.

– You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener – because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.

– You have a “can do” attitude. We’re looking to build and scale our platform on tight deadlines over the next 18 months. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.

– You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

‎

What the job entails

– Working around the clock writing code to expand the Juiced platform alongside the other co-founders. This will include working on our frontend, backend, and system design.

– Building out new features including new 3rd party marketplace integrations, expanding existing marketplace integrations, building new automated systems and implementing AI into existing features.

– Maintaining existing features which will involve learning the ins and outs of our frontend and backend code base.

– In your role as VP of Engineering, you’ll be instrumental in being a leader for existing and future developers. This will include ensuring the team’s productivity and morale remains high through excellent collaboration with teams in other geographies.

– In addition, you’ll help build and directly oversee our infrastructure focused on supporting critical components of our infrastructure stack – Compute, Storage, Networking, and Developer tools.

– Champion engineering and operational excellence, establishing metrics and processes for regular assessment and improvement.

– Establish a solid project framework and excellent development processes.

– Drive an excellent customer experience, with a user-first approach. We figure out the best way to serve our customers and work our way backward to the technology. Not the other way around.

– Provide technical and architectural oversight for the development, design, integration, testing, and maintenance of Infrastructure products

– Manage technical debt to ensure our development velocity stays high while minimizing production incidents in our operations.

‎

Application requirements

– At least 5 years of expertise with each of the primary technologies listed here: architecture.juiced.io and generally speaking experience with frontend, backend, and system design.

– At least 7 years of experience as a full-stack developer.

– Must be willing to work extremely hard and live the startup lifestyle (no weekends off, 8 hours a day minimum, etc). Yes everyone needs time off from time to time, but don't expect regular 9/5 weeks.

– Must be compatible with our work environment (fun/casual environment and extremely passionate about what we’re building).

– Ideally, but not required; previous experience founding a startup or an early employee at one.
