Marketplace platform for on-demand home services across the Middle East
Justlife operates a multi-service marketplace connecting consumers with home professionals across cleaning, beauty, wellness, and maintenance in six countries. The stack—Java/Spring Boot on AWS with Kubernetes orchestration, MySQL/MongoDB, and RabbitMQ for async processing—reflects a polyglot backend built for high-concurrency demand. Hiring has decelerated (4 roles in last 30 days across a 29-role pipeline), with senior engineers outnumbering juniors 7:1, suggesting focus on stability and scaling existing services rather than rapid product expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Head Trainer, Software Development Lead
Justlife is a super-app marketplace for home services founded in 2015, operating across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. The platform aggregates thousands of vetted professionals and coordinates millions of sessions annually across cleaning, beauty, wellness, maintenance, and laundry categories. Operationally, the company balances two-sided marketplace challenges: expanding partner supply across cities and service types, optimizing pricing and availability for salon-based services, and improving both consumer booking flows and service-level compliance. Current friction points include SLA enforcement, supply utilization efficiency, training program outcomes, and professional churn.
