It is not usually common to use more than one "just" in a sentence, unless they are both used with different meanings. In this sentence, you don't need more than one "just" and one can be taken out. It doesn't matter which "just" is removed in the sentence as the sentence will sound natural with either placement of "just", however, it isn't grammatically correct to use both.
