About the role

You are the person who makes sure our product looks and feels as good as it was imagined.
You notice the details others skip and care about the last-mile polish that makes a product feel unified and considered.
We serve investment managers navigating fund accounting, investor portals, and data-heavy reporting workflows.

Own the last-mile details: consistent spacing, transitions that land right, interactions that don't jar. If something feels slightly off anywhere in the product, that's your domain.
Build production-quality UI components and interactions that close the gap between what was designed and what actually ships.
Help designers ship in code. Build the workflows and tooling so that designer-made prototypes are structured starting points that engineers and AI agents can work from directly.
Create the handoff layer between design and engineering: organize and structure designer-generated code so it flows cleanly into agents or gets picked up by the engineering team without rework.
Maintain and extend our design system: write components, document patterns, and make sure the system gets used consistently across a complex, data-heavy product.
Partner with Product and Engineering to define what's possible and push what Juniper Square's product can look and feel like.
