Design Engineer

About us

At Juo, we're building technology for businesses that want to build, run and scale their subscription offering. Business model-wise, Juo is a B2B SaaS.

Our initial and current focus has been on direct-to-consumer ecommerce brands selling physical products, but our goal is to make Juo components applicable in any industry where a subscription model can be applied for repetitive selling of physical goods.

Juo operates at the intersection of a few areas, like ecommerce and payments, but — especially the new platform — with a strong focus on developer experience. The team is lean and consists only of experienced people. In the past, we built successful businesses together. Some unsuccessful ones too — and learned a ton from that.

Business-wise, we have passed the most difficult stage for any startup — finding the so-called product-market fit, which means we can focus on building and perfecting the product without financial concerns about the purpose of these actions. We are confident in ourselves, in what we do, and in the value we create for ourselves, our clients, and end users.

We're backed by fantastic investors (MOC, Peak, Kogito, SMOK) and advisors, including domain experts from companies such as PayU, Piwik PRO, and Your KAYA. We've just raised our third financing round. In other words, we have all the resources needed to be able to focus on building the product, shipping fast, and delivering value to the clients.

How to apply

If this feels like the right fit, email us at jobs@juo.com with your resume, a few words about yourself, and why you want to join us. That's the best way to apply 🙂 You can use the button at the bottom of the page, but if you want to increase your chances, email is the way to go.

We don't like long, drawn-out processes—the whole thing usually takes around 3 weeks from start to finish. We answer every written application. If your first email clicks, the next step will be a 15–30 minute call with one of us (usually a founder), and we'll take it from there.

Either way, we're excited to hear from you!
