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.\nOur 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!\nJuniper 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.\nAbout Applied AI\nApplied AI is Juniper Square’s forward-deployed engineering unit. We design, build, and manage custom AI agents that solve hard operational problems for private markets GPs - running on Juniper Square’s AI infrastructure and integrated with the systems our clients already use. Because we sit on the system of record for the category, we can ship in weeks what otherwise takes years.\nAbout your role\nWe are hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to work directly with GP clients and own delivery end-to-end - discovery, scoping, design, build, deployment, and the ongoing operation of what you ship. You are in the room with the client, not behind a ticket queue.\nThis is an AI-first engineering role. The solutions you build are powered by modern AI, and you will work at the leverage AI-assisted development makes possible - while understanding in depth every system you ship.\nThe work combines product management and full-stack engineering, and calls for someone who can operate independently, when needed, while being supported by a world-class team of engineers. Working from the priorities set with the client and Applied AI leadership, you will run discovery, define requirements, sequence delivery, and make the trade-offs that get working software into users’ hands quickly.\nSuccess is measured by adoption and impact. You own what you build through launch and beyond, iterating on real user feedback and contributing the patterns you develop back to Applied AI’s reusable component library.\nWhat you’ll do\nWork 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\n\nRun discovery and translate ambiguous business problems into clear requirements, scope, and acceptance criteria\n\nCarry each solution through its full lifecycle, from prototype and client validation through hardening, deployment, and rollout to production\n\nDesign 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\n\nOperate independently on client-edge solutions, and partner with Juniper Square’s platform and product engineering teams where the work touches core systems\n\nMake engineering trade-offs that hold up under real client commitments, finding speed through reuse rather than through shortcuts on reliability, security, or maintainability\n\nOwn deployed solutions through adoption, including post-launch support, iteration on user feedback, and ongoing operation\n\nProduce documentation, train users, and manage rollouts to drive adoption\n\nSet the technical bar for less experienced engineers on your engagements, and pull them toward running engagements of their own\n\nQualifications\n5+ years of professional experience shipping production software end to end, with hands-on experience building AI-enabled applications\n\nA track record of owning delivery, not just implementation - you have been the person accountable for whether something shipped and got used\n\nDemonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into requirements and deliver working software against them\n\nFull-stack engineering capability across data, services, user interfaces, and the infrastructure underneath them\n\nHands-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\n\nDirect experience working with external clients or customers - scoping, delivering, and managing the relationship, not just the code\n\nFluency with AI-assisted development, paired with the depth to understand, debug, and defend everything you ship\n\nStrong product judgment: defining scope for a first release, prioritizing, and knowing when something is done\n\nExcellent written communication across requirements, documentation, and client-facing updates, and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders\n\nNice to have\nExperience in private markets, financial services, or another regulated, data-sensitive domain\n\nFamiliarity with application security and data handling practices for client data under contractual and SOC 2 obligations, including multi-tenant isolation\n\nExperience building evaluation and regression testing for non-deterministic systems\n\nConsulting, professional services, or forward deployed engineering background\n\nCompensation\nCompensation for this position includes a base salary with equity, and a variety of benefits. The U.S. base salary range for this role is $165,000-$200,000. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable.\nBenefits include:\nHealth, dental, and vision care for you and your family\n\nLife insurance\n\nMental wellness coverage\n\nFertility and growing family support\n\nFlex Time Off in addition to company-paid holidays\n\nPaid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies\n\nRetirement savings plans\n\nAllowance to customize your work and technology setup at home\n\nAnnual professional development stipend\n\nYour recruiter can provide additional details about compensation and benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7275,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Life insurance","Parental leave","Professional development","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Custody & Fund Administration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-03T17:50:08Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 33","filings_12m":33,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.584,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/juniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/juniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T00:53:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1044,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6722},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6722"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjuniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjuniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjuniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/juniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjuniper-square-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-applied-ai"}]}
