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.

Integrate and extend MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for robust model-tool communication and workflow automation.
Lead development of AI-based features, prototypes, and production solutions using LLM APIs or self-hosted models.
Architect and optimize prompt engineering, prompt chains, agent loops, and refinement pipelines.
Model Evaluation & Continuous Improvement
Implement and maintain agent evaluation frameworks (agent evals, scenario tests, regression testing).
Design automated evaluation harnesses for LLM quality, reliability, hallucination control, and performance metrics.
Drive iterative improvements through A/B testing, reward models, and feedback loops.
Monitor system performance, latency, cost, and reliability — and implement optimization strategies.
Technical Leadership
Lead and mentor engineers working on AI, data, and backend components.
Collaborate with product managers, researchers, and cross-functional teams to align tech strategy with business outcomes.

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or related field.
8+ years of software engineering experience with strong backend architecture skills.
3+ years deep experience with LLMs, GPT models, agents, or advanced ML systems.
Strong hands-on experience with:
MCP tools and LLM tool integration
Agent frameworks (e.g., OpenAI Agents, LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom agents)
RAG pipelines, embedding models, vector stores
Agent evaluation, reliability testing, and model refinements
Proficiency in Python, TypeScript/Node.js, or similar languages.
