About Juniper Square

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of private markets. Privately owned assets like commercial real estate, private equity, and venture capital make up half of our financial ecosystem yet remain inaccessible to most people. We are digitizing these markets, and as a result, bringing efficiency, transparency, and access to one of the most productive corners of our financial ecosystem. If you care about making the world a better place by making markets work better through technology – all while contributing as a member of a values-driven organization – we want to hear from you. 

Juniper 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.

About your role

  • Partner closely with engineering, design, and product to translate product and technical vision into code.

  • Design, build, and operate high-performance backend services at scale.

  • Evolve existing systems to support rapidly growing scale and complexity.

  • Proactively surface execution, cost, and technical risks, align on trade-offs, and drive pragmatic solutions to unblock teams.

  • Set and uphold a high bar for technical excellence through strong design, coding, and testing practices.

  • Leverage observability to measure, improve, and maintain application performance and reliability.

  • Shape the team roadmap by identifying opportunities for technical improvements and innovation.

  • Build internal tools that improve efficiency for engineers and partner teams across the organization.

  • Mentor engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning and technical growth.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting large scale systems in production.

  • Expertise in Python and frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, Pyramid, Django.

  • Experience with SQL database schema design and query optimizations.

  • Experience with cloud technologies, e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes.

  • Experience with continuous integration and infrastructure as code.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team.

  • Passion for improving developer experience through better tooling, automation, and documentation.

  • You are flexible and adaptable—you will be juggling multiple projects in a fast-paced startup environment.

Nice to Have's
  • Experience working on a Platform team / building tools for other developers.

  • Experience building products or tools using GenAI/LLMs.

  • Experience working with GraphQL.

  • Experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
