Our mission at Juniper Square is to unlock their full potential. We're the Operations Partner trusted by 2,300+ GPs, unifying technology, data, and fund administration services into a single platform that helps GPs move faster, make better decisions, and scale with precision. With $300B+ under administration and 700,000+ LPs on platform, we've built the scale to match our ambition. And with JunieAI, our purpose-built AI platform, we're reimagining how private markets operate, embedding intelligence across every workflow. Founder-led since 2014, backed by $350M+ in funding, and now 1,000+ employees strong, we're building a company designed to shape the future of private markets for decades to come.Our culture is built for people who want to do ambitious, meaningful work alongside exceptionally talented teammates. We think like owners, move with urgency, and take pride in solving hard problems that truly matter to our customers and the future of private markets. We believe the best ideas come from open debate, deep collaboration, and diverse perspectives, which is why we believe transparency is the default and feedback makes us stronger. If you're energized by high standards, rapid growth, and the opportunity to help define a category at a pivotal moment, come join us!Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in one of our physical offices. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across 27 U.S. states, 2 Canadian Provinces, India, Luxembourg, and England. We also have physical offices in San Francisco, New York City, Mumbai and Bangalore for employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time.Senior Staff Software EngineerLocation: Americas (preferably EST) — Remote Employment Type: Full-Time Department: EngineeringABOUT YOUR ROLEWe are seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead the architecture and evolution of the core systems that power Juniper Square — the distributed services, cloud infrastructure, and developer platform on which every product, workflow, and AI capability is built. You will define the vision, architecture, operating model, and execution roadmap required to evolve from team-by-team infrastructure decisions to a cohesive, paved-road platform that enables every engineering team to ship reliable, secure, and performant software at speed.This role anchors a strategic priority for our GPX line of business: taking Juniper Square upmarket to serve the largest private equity institutions in the world — firms managing $100B+ in AUM. Serving these PE titans demands a step-change in everything our systems do: order of magnitude increase in data and traffic volumes; enterprise-grade security, and integration expectations. You will architect the systems foundation that makes this scalable.This is a deeply hands-on leadership role for a technical expert who leads by building: you will actively design systems, prototype solutions, write and review code, and guide teams through their most complex technical challenges.Your mandate spans the full systems estate. You will modernize our service architecture and cloud foundation, define architecture across compute, networking, service communication, multi-tenancy, and observability, and build the systems substrate — including the infrastructure powering JunieAI and agentic workloads — on which teams across the business build and operate software. Throughout, you will hold our production systems to the availability, latency, security, and cost standards expected of a platform administering $300B+ in private markets assets.You will work closely with engineering leadership, product teams, security, and executive stakeholders to align technology strategy with business outcomes, mentor engineers, and build a culture of operational excellence. Success in this role means not only delivering a modern systems platform but also elevating the team's capabilities, processes, and ways of working to operate as a true platform engineering organization.While this is a remote role, some travel is required — to in-person leadership meetups, team offsites, and to customer sites in support of enterprise engagements where deep technical presence matters.WHAT YOU'LL DOArchitecture & Technical LeadershipDefine and own the end-to-end systems architecture strategy across services, infrastructure, and developer platformDesigning frameworks and design patterns that accelerate the work of the rest of engineering orgDesign scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems spanning synchronous APIs, asynchronous workflows, and event-driven architecturesEstablish standards for service design, API contracts, multi-tenancy, and inter-service communicationLead architecture reviews and technical decision-making for high-stakes, cross-cutting initiativesDrive adoption of modern architectures (event-driven systems, platform engineering, infrastructure as code)Hands-On EngineeringDesign and prototype critical platform and infrastructure componentsWrite production-quality code for complex or high-impact areasReview service designs, infrastructure changes, and performance-critical code pathsTroubleshoot performance, scalability, and reliability issues across services, queues, caches, and databasesOptimize workloads for latency, throughput, concurrency, and costPlatform & Infrastructure OwnershipDesign and architect a scalable cloud platform supporting compute, networking, storage, service orchestration, and deployment across all product linesBuild a paved-road developer platform — golden paths, internal tooling, CI/CD, and self-service infrastructure — that makes the right way the easy wayCreate reusable platform primitives and internal APIs that product teams can compose rather than rebuildEnable self-service infrastructure for engineering teams through standardized patterns, templates, and platform capabilitiesPartner with AI workflow teams, product, and security teams to support production AI workloads, from inference pipelines to agent fleetsDesign systems for safe agentic execution, including isolation boundaries, resource governance, auditability, and human-in-the-loop controlsEnsure reliability, scalability, and resilience of the platform, including high availability, monitoring, and disaster recovery readinessEnterprise Scale & Upmarket ReadinessArchitect core systems to handle the data volumes and structural complexity of $100B+ AUM managers: thousands of entities, tens of thousands of LPs, and deep multi-tier fund structuresDefine scalability targets and re-architect bottlenecked systems ahead of demand, ensuring performance holds at 10x current transaction and data volumesDesign enterprise integration surfaces — APIs, bulk data interfaces, and ERP/GL connectivity — that fit into the existing technology estates of large institutional GPsMeet the security, compliance, and operational diligence expectations of the largest PE firms, such as, SSO/SCIM, granular entitlements, audit trails, and data residencyServe as the senior technical voice in enterprise sales and onboarding conversations where architecture, scale, and resiliency are decision criteriaReliability & Operational ExcellenceLead incident response maturity: on-call practices, blameless postmortems, and systemic remediationDrive capacity planning, load testing, and chaos/resilience engineering practicesOptimize cloud spend through architecture, workload placement, and continuous cost engineeringLeadership & CollaborationMentor senior engineers across platform, infrastructure, and product teamsPartner with product, data, and business teams to align systems investments with company outcomes — including the GPX upmarket expansionTranslate business and product requirements into scalable, operable system designsInfluence roadmaps using platform, reliability, and cost considerationsAct as the executive technical authority for systems architecture and production engineeringCulture & EnablementEvangelize AI adoption, including AI-assisted engineering and operationsHelp promote a culture of operational excellence and outcome-driven innovationBecome a role model for engineering excellence for the rest of the orgQUALIFICATIONSRequiredAdvanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field15+ years in distributed systems, platform engineering, or infrastructure rolesProven experience architecting large-scale, high-availability multi-tenant distributed systems in productionStrong hands-on experience with modern cloud-native stacks (Kubernetes, containers, service mesh, serverless)Deep expertise in distributed systems fundamentals: consistency models, consensus, partitioning, idempotency, backpressure, and failure modesAdvanced proficiency in Python, Go, Java, or similar;
