About the role

Applied AI is Juniper Square’s forward-deployed engineering unit that designs, builds, and manages custom AI agents for private markets GPs, running on Juniper Square’s AI infrastructure and integrated with clients’ systems.

Responsibilities

  • Work with GP clients — CFOs, COOs, heads of technology, investor relations leads, and the fund accountants, IR associates, and deal teams who will use what you build — to find the workflows where custom agents create real leverage
  • Run discovery and translate ambiguous business problems into clear requirements, scope, and acceptance criteria
  • Carry each solution through its full lifecycle, from prototype and client validation through hardening, deployment, and rollout to production
  • Design and build agentic systems: retrieval and context design, tool and MCP integration, orchestration, evaluation harnesses, and the observability and cost controls that keep them reliable in production
  • Operate independently on client-edge solutions, and partner with Juniper Square’s platform and product engineering teams where the work touches core systems
  • Make engineering trade-offs that hold up under real client commitments, finding speed through reuse rather than through shortcuts on reliability, security, or maintainability
  • Own deployed solutions through adoption, including post-launch support, iteration on user feedback, and ongoing operation
  • Produce documentation, train users, and manage rollouts to drive adoption
  • Set the technical bar for less experienced engineers on your engagements, and pull them toward running engagements of their own

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience shipping production software end to end, with hands-on experience building AI-enabled applications
  • A track record of owning delivery, not just implementation — you have been the person accountable for whether something shipped and got used
  • Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into requirements and deliver working software against them
  • Full-stack engineering capability across data, services, user interfaces, and the infrastructure underneath them
  • Hands-on infrastructure ownership: deploying and operating applications on a major cloud provider, with working knowledge of containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and production monitoring
  • Direct experience working with external clients or customers — scoping, delivering, and managing the relationship, not just the code
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development, paired with the depth to understand, debug, and defend everything you ship
  • Strong product judgment: defining scope for a first release, prioritizing, and knowing when something is done
  • Excellent written communication across requirements, documentation, and client-facing updates, and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
