Full Stack Developer

Become a Juicer: Full Stack Developer

At Helpjuice, our team is our biggest asset, and we're here to empower them to do their best work. We've been 100% remote since 2011 — think small local bakery, or a less-cool Neuralink, not a hyped-up startup. About 20 of us, spread across the world, profitable, and having fun along the way.

We build two products. Helpjuice is our knowledge base software, used by thousands of companies including Amazon, Hertz, and Virgin. Outlearn is our newer AI-powered chatbot, already resolving nearly half of every support ticket it touches for our clients — without a human ever stepping in. Both products are shipping fast, and we need someone who can build real, reliable software across the stack for both.

What you'll do

• Ship features across the stack — Rails backend, JS/frontend — on Helpjuice and Outlearn
• Own things end-to-end: you design it, build it, test it, and you're the one who explains why it works when someone asks
• Read and improve code that already exists, not just write new code in a vacuum
• Work directly with the team on what to build next and how to build it well
• Debug production issues and actually get to the root cause, not just the symptom
• Make calls on frontend vs. backend tradeoffs and defend them

Who you are

• You have real, reviewable code somewhere — a GitHub, a portfolio, something we can actually look at
• You can walk us through a recent project in detail: what you built, what your specific role was, what broke and how you fixed it
• You're clearly strong in both frontend and backend, with real depth in Rails and JS — not just "I've touched it"
• We're 100% fine with you using AI to code faster — we use it constantly ourselves. But you have to actually understand what you're shipping. You sign off on it, you're behind it, you can explain every line if we ask
• You know your timezone and you know what you're worth — vague answers on either are a red flag for us

Some honesty before you apply: our bar is high, and it's not about credentials or years of experience — it's about whether you can build things that work and stand behind them. If your answer to "walk me through this project" is vague, or you can't show us any code, this isn't your seat.

Compensation & perks

We pay fairly and transparently, candidate-anchored to what you tell us you're worth — we don't lowball, and we don't play games with the number. On top of that: 100% remote, flexible hours across global timezones, paid time off plus holidays specific to your home country, and annual fully paid team retreats (Portugal, Istanbul, Sarajevo — that kind of thing). Real ownership, real mentorship, and direct access to the founder.
