About the role
- You are in the room with the client, not behind a ticket queue.
- The work combines product management and full-stack engineering, and calls for someone who can operate independently, when needed, while being supported by a world-class team of engineers.
- Success is measured by adoption and impact.
Responsibilities
- Work with GP clients - CFOs, COOs, heads of technology, investor relations leads, and the fund accountants, IR associates, and deal teams who will use what you build - to find the workflows where custom agents create real leverage
- Design and build agentic systems: retrieval and context design, tool and MCP integration, orchestration, evaluation harnesses, and the observability and cost controls that keep them reliable in production
- Operate independently on client-edge solutions, and partner with Juniper Square's platform and product engineering teams where the work touches core systems
- Own deployed solutions through adoption, including post-launch support, iteration on user feedback, and ongoing operation
- Produce documentation, train users, and manage rollouts to drive adoption
- Set the technical bar for less experienced engineers on your engagements, and pull them toward running engagements of their own
- Fertility and growing family support
Requirements
- A track record of owning delivery, not just implementation - you have been the person accountable for whether something shipped and got used
- Hands-on infrastructure ownership: deploying and operating applications on a major cloud provider, with working knowledge of containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and production monitoring
- Excellent written communication across requirements, documentation, and client-facing updates, and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- 5+ years of professional experience shipping production software end to end, with hands-on experience building AI-enabled applications
- Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into requirements and deliver working software against them
- Full-stack engineering capability across data, services, user interfaces, and the infrastructure underneath them
- Direct experience working with external clients or customers - scoping, delivering, and managing the relationship, not just the code
- Fluency with AI-assisted development, paired with the depth to understand, debug, and defend everything you ship
Nice to have
- Experience in private markets, financial services, or another regulated, data-sensitive domain
- Familiarity with application security and data handling practices for client data under contractual and SOC 2 obligations, including multi-tenant isolation

- Allowance to customize your work and technology setup at home
