join theteam.

The teams at Coursera, Notion, ClickUp, Handshake, Lemonade, and Mercury run their lifecycle marketing on our agents. We raised $17M to prove that always-on AI — not hand-built campaigns — is how 1-1 personalization gets done at scale. We're 11 people hiring the founding team that owns it: on-site in San Francisco, pay public on every role, working directly with the founders.

why we're here

what you actually get

Founders Neha Mittal & Jeff Hara saw it firsthand at Twitter and Pinterest: one message tweak could bring a million users — but testing took forever. JustAI is the fix.

our values · how we work

six values we run on — not poster words.

This is not a place to coast. It's a place to compress a decade of learning into two years, ship things you're slightly afraid of, and watch them run at a scale most engineers never touch. These are the values we hold each other to, every day.

01
we're a sports team,
not a family.
High performance, clear roles, direct feedback. We coach, not coddle — when someone needs support, we have open and constructive conversations. And when we win, we win as a team.
02
honesty & trust
>> skills and numbers.
To ourselves. To the team. To the customer. Do the right thing even when no one's watching. We'd rather build with trustworthy people than brilliant mercenaries.
03
bring your heart to work.
be passionate. give it all.
We're doing this because we choose to — acknowledge the privilege. We show up fully, intellect + emotion. Building this company is an emotional, deeply personal journey, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
04
think long term,
act short term.
Bold, well-thought-out decisions from first principles. Avoid hype, think big. Speed, focus, and discipline guide us — the gap between “idea” and “live in production” here is measured in days, sometimes hours.
05
accountability is everything.
communication is the key.
“Deal with it.” Nothing is beyond or beneath you. Communicate proactively to set expectations. Accountability isn't about blame — it's about ownership and clarity.
06
customer first,
not AI first.
We exist to solve for humans. Every product conversation starts with “what's the customer's problem?” — because tech only goes as far as customer adoption. Handshake, Coursera, ClickUp, and Notion bought results.
the work

you won't maintain software.
you'll raise a workforce.

JustAI is a team of autonomous agents that run lifecycle marketing end to end — and a team of humans who make those agents smarter every week. Whatever you join to do, this is the machine you're building.

reads the data

Strategy Agent

Uncovers patterns between users who convert and those who don't — predicting rich cohorts, untapped segments, and high-leverage moments. The problems here are pure applied ML at unfair scale.

01
writes the words

Creative Agent

Blends brand voice, user insight, and product knowledge into conversion-ready content — millions of on-brand variants, zero copywriter burnout. LLM orchestration with real constraints and real stakes.

02
makes the call

Decisioning Agent

Real-time reinforcement learning across channels: identifies winning variants and routes traffic to what performs, turning every send into a self-improving loop. Bandits, in production, at billions of decisions.

03
closes the loop

Data Agent

Turns billions of events into instant, actionable insight so no one ever waits for an analyst again. The infrastructure under this is the kind of thing infra engineers brag about at parties.

$130K – $250K0.10% – 0.47% equityFull-time6+ yearsSan Francisco

We move terabytes of campaign and engagement data — and you'd own the foundation it all runs on: the pipelines that feed our models, the compute and storage substrate, and the reliability, observability, and cost of the whole system. An early, high-ownership role: you'll build from 0→1 and own it end to end as we scale.

what you'll do
  • Own and scale large-scale batch & streaming pipelines, warehouse design, and the storage layer.
  • Run and harden the compute platform: orchestration, autoscaling, isolation, containerized deploys.
  • Own metrics, tracing, alerting, and SLOs — drive down incidents and cost.
  • Tackle the lowest-level scaling problems: partitioning, throughput, distributed failures at volume.
what we look for
  • 5+ years in infra, SRE, or data platform roles, operating large systems at a low level.
  • A 0→1 builder — you've stood up infrastructure from scratch and owned it as it grew.
  • Battle scars from Kubernetes, Spark-class processing, or high-throughput streaming in production.
  • You treat infra as a product with users. ML systems experience is a plus.
$120K – $160K0.10% – 0.50% equityFull-time2+ yearsSan Francisco

Design, implement, and QA large customer features end-to-end — from scoping emergent customer needs with product and design to shipping across our entire stack. Big ambiguous problems, clear milestones, measurable outcomes.

what you'll do
  • Own projects from initial scoping to production — break ambiguity into milestones.
  • Own quality across the full lifecycle: testing, launch, and rollout.
  • Partner with product and design on tradeoffs between feasibility and experience.
what we look for
  • 2+ years of full-stack experience with strong backend skills.
  • You've built platforms end-to-end with a focus on product requirements.
  • Quick learner who thrives in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment.
$90K – $150K0.10% – 0.25% equityFull-time1+ yearsSan Francisco

Live at the intersection of AI, engineering, and customers. Embed with enterprise customers, understand their marketing and data infrastructure, and design how JustAI plugs in to reshape their workflows.

what you'll do
  • Architect integrations between JustAI and Braze, Iterable, Customer.io, Segment, and Snowflake.
  • Prototype new workflows and AI agents that graduate into the core product.
  • Translate customer needs into scalable platform features.
what we look for
  • CS degree or equivalent software engineering experience.
  • Strong communicator — you'll be in the room with customers.
  • Genuine excitement about working directly with the people who use what you build.
$90K – $150KFull-time2–6 yearsSan Francisco

Be the face of JustAI for enterprise customers — effectively a fractional lifecycle marketer across multiple companies, designing strategies from scratch and scaling them with AI decisioning. Strategy, execution, and customer success in one seat.

what you'll do
  • Own a portfolio of enterprise accounts as their trusted strategic partner.
  • Design lifecycle strategy 0→1 across email, push, and in-app.
  • Move customers from manual campaigns to always-on, self-optimizing systems.
  • Close the loop: bring structured customer insight back to product and engineering.
what we look for
  • 2–6 years in lifecycle marketing, growth, consulting, or customer success.
  • Experience with B2C products or high-scale user journeys.
  • AI-forward builder mindset — proactive, resourceful, outcome-obsessed.
  • You measure yourself in revenue and engagement, not activity.
$150K – $350K0.10% – 0.50% equityFull-time2+ yearsSan Francisco

Our first dedicated sales hire, selling an AI marketing platform that Coursera, Notion, and Handshake already run on, backed by a $17M Series A. Own revenue from first conversation to signed contract, working directly with the CEO — with founder air cover on every deal.

what you'll do
  • Run end-to-end sales cycles: discovery, demos, negotiation, close.
  • Sell to CMOs and growth leaders at enterprise companies.
  • Own pipeline creation — outbound, inbound, strategic prospecting.
  • Define our early sales process, messaging, and ideal customer profile.
what we look for
  • 2+ years as an AE, closing mid-market or enterprise deals end to end.
  • You can run the show — context-switch, prioritize, operate autonomously.
  • Fluent with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous, 0-to-1 environments.
