Job Description
Staff Software Engineer, Data Platform
Juniper Square
• Own End-to-End Delivery of Core Data Platform Components • 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 • Drive Technical Architecture • Partner with a small seed team of senior engineers 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 • Build AI Evaluation Infrastructure • 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 infrastructure that will serve as a foundation for multiple products across the company • Ship with AI-Native Development Practices • 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 out of AI-assisted development while maintaining quality and reliability • Contribute to the team’s evolving practices around AI-accelerated SDLC • Establish Technical Standards • As an early senior voice on a new team, set coding standards, review practices, and architectural documentation that will scale • Help define what “good” looks like for a team building at speed without sacrificing quality • Mentor and provide technical guidance as the team grows from seed squad to full delivery organization • Collaborate Across Engineering and Product • Work closely with your engineering manager, peer engineers, and product management to translate requirements into executable technical plans • Participate actively in design reviews and roadmap discussions with grounded, implementation-level perspective • Engage directly with the nuances of private markets data – fund administration, investment data schemas, institutional reporting workflows – to build domain intuition that improves your technical decisions
Job Requirements
- 7+ 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.
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family
- Life insurance
- Mental wellness coverage
- Fertility and growing family support
- Flex Time Off in addition to company-paid holidays
- Paid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies
- Retirement saving plans
- Allowance to customize your work and technology setup at home
- Annual professional development stipend
