Job description

Private markets are one of the largest, most complex, and most underserved corners of global finance. 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.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Senior Technical Lead to architect, design, and oversee the development of scalable web applications and distributed systems. The ideal candidate brings strong backend expertise in Python (FastAPI preferred) or Java, combined with solid frontend development experience using ReactJS and TypeScript.

This role will lead the design and delivery of end-to-end systems—from user-facing applications to backend services and cloud infrastructure. You will guide engineering teams, drive architectural decisions, and ensure best practices across the full software development lifecycle.

Experience leveraging AI tools and building AI-driven solutions will be a significant advantage, especially for developing intelligent features, automation, and data-driven capabilities within products.
