The posting

At Journal Lab, we specialize in creating the best digital journaling apps in the world. Beautifully designed, easy to use, and available across all devices. We operate multiple labels, each tailored to a different journaling niche.

Our founder, a former travel journalist for National Geographic, spent years on the road and discovered the lack of a great digital journaling tool. That’s how our first label, Travel Diaries, was born, combining the best elements of photo book software and blogging platforms.

During the pandemic we launched our second label, Baby Diaries, helping parents create baby books and pregnancy journals. And we’re just getting started, more labels are on the way.

We help consumers capture, share, and relive their memories in both digital and beautifully printed journals. At the same time, we help brands turn their customers into ambassadors by using authentic user stories as a marketing tool.

Today, we have 250,000+ users worldwide, over 5,000 premium members, and 70+ B2B partnerships, and we’re growing.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Backend-Focused Fullstack Engineer to own and evolve the backend foundation of our platform. You will work in a small, highly motivated dev team consisting of:

  • 1 Senior Frontend Engineer
  • 1 Mobile Developer
  • 1 Product Owner
  • You (Backend-Focused Fullstack Engineer)

This role comes with end-to-end ownership, plenty of autonomy, and the opportunity to shape our technical future across multiple international labels.

We need someone who is highly proactive, entrepreneurial, and fully self-directed — someone who takes initiative, proposes solutions, and thrives in a small, fast-moving environment.

Because AI-powered features are becoming a core part of our roadmap (e.g. story generation, personalization, automation, smart content selection), experience integrating modern AI tools is a big advantage.

Your Impact

You will contribute directly to essential engineering and business goals:

  • Improve development velocity across all our labels.
  • Ensure backend scalability for a rapidly growing B2C + B2B2C ecosystem.
  • Guarantee system reliability across our six microservices.

Azure Cloud & Infrastructure (Mandatory)

Everything runs in Azure, Azure expertise is an absolute must. You will:

  • Set up and maintain observability, monitoring, and automated scaling.

Containerization & DevOps

  • Work heavily with Docker.
  • Manage and operate infrastructure using Kubernetes.
  • Improve deployment workflows and engineering productivity.

AI Integration

  • Experiment with and integrate AI tools (LLMs, embeddings, vector search, auto-summarization, content generation, etc.).
  • Help shape new AI-powered journaling experiences.

Frontend Support (Secondary)

  • Assist with React/Next.js integrations when needed, ensuring smooth backend–frontend interaction.

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Act as a key partner to product and design.
  • Participate in code reviews and mentor team members.
  • Bring forward ideas that make our platform faster, stronger, and smarter.
