Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Juniper Square is an operations partner for private markets that unifies technology, data, and fund administration services through a single platform, including its AI platform JunieAI. The Staff Software Engineer, Data will design and build core components of a next-generation intelligent data platform, including data normalization, schema mapping, validation, enrichment, distribution, and AI evaluation infrastructure. The role is a hands-on technical leadership position responsible for architecture, production delivery, technical standards, and mentoring.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship the data normalization, schema mapping, validation, enrichment, and distribution pipeline for a net-new intelligent data warehouse
- Write production code as a hands-on individual contributor - this is not a role that delegates implementation to others
- Take technical ownership from architecture through deployment, with accountability for reliability, performance, and correctness
- Partner with a small seed team to define the end-to-end architecture for an AI-native data warehouse serving institutional financial clients
- Bring opinionated decisions on schema design, normalization strategies, API exposure patterns, and data distribution approaches
- Evaluate and select technologies with a bias toward what ships well and scales sustainably
- Design and implement the evaluation framework that makes AI-generated outputs trustworthy in high-stakes financial data contexts
- Build cross-model comparison tooling, deterministic validation checks, and human-in-the-loop review workflows
- Contribute to shared AI evaluation infrastructure that can serve as a foundation across multiple products
- Use agentic coding tools and LLM-assisted development as your primary workflow - this is how the entire team operates
- Bring strong opinions about how to get the most from AI-assisted development while maintaining quality and reliability
- Contribute to the team's evolving practices around AI-accelerated SDLC
- Set coding standards, review practices, and architectural documentation that will scale as the team grows
- Help define what "good" looks like for a team building at speed without sacrificing quality
- Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance as the team expands
Skills
- • 12+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated Staff-level technical scope and impact
- • A portfolio of shipped production systems - we will ask you to walk through specific technical decisions you personally made and code you personally wrote; this is not a role for someone whose primary contribution has been directing others
- • Strong hands-on experience with data pipeline or data warehouse engineering: schema design, ETL/ELT patterns, normalization, and API-based data distribution
- • Production experience building with LLMs: prompt design, model orchestration, evaluation, and output validation in real systems, not just experimentation
- • Fluency with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows; you use these tools daily and have strong opinions about how to use them effectively
- • Experience with AWS data infrastructure; Redshift experience a plus
- • Strong written communication —- able to translate technical design into clear documentation for both engineering and product audiences
- • Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code and outputs, including identifying failure modes, regressions, and edge cases
- • Experience with RAG pipelines, vector stores, or document extraction systems
- • Background in financial services data — familiarity with fund administration, investment data schemas, institutional reporting workflows, or related domains is a meaningful differentiator
- • Experience building data products or managed data services for external customers, not just internal tooling
- • Prior experience in a technical lead or TLM capacity on a new or early-stage product team
