ABOUT YOUR ROLE

As an Engineering Manager for our Fundraising team, you will lead the engineering squad building Juniper Square’s next-generation fundraising platform — the system that digitizes private capital markets through a seamless, “one-click” subscription experience. This is a critical, hands-on leadership role for a technical manager who thrives on replacing manual, fragmented processes with modern, scalable infrastructure. You will be deeply involved in your team’s technical direction, guiding architectural decisions, and solving complex, high-scale engineering challenges alongside your engineers.

This role demands a “player-coach” mentality, where you will not only manage the team but also provide strong technical mentorship and contribute to design and architecture. You will be responsible for a team of 6+ engineers and will own your team’s roadmap, balancing long-term technical vision with the immediate needs of enterprise managers and their investors. Your leadership will be key to building reusable investor profiles, an “omni-channel” onboarding experience, and AI-driven intelligence that automates complex financial workflows at scale.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• AI-Native Culture & Velocity: Champion and embed AI-native development practices and tools (e.g.,Claude,Cursor, Augment) to achieve significant productivity gains, fostering a “startup-mode” culture of rapid iteration, high velocity, and quality, including guiding the effective use of AI code generation.

• Technical Ownership & Architecture: Take ownership over the team’s architecture, actively participating in design reviews and driving the long-term technical vision for the fundraising platform. Help drive the transition from our monolith toward a service-oriented architecture, and identify and promote software best practices to improve team effectiveness.

• Platform & Workflow Automation: Lead the team in designing and implementing the systems that power one-click subscriptions, reusable investor profiles, and omni-channel onboarding. Identify opportunities to leverage AI and modern tooling to automate complex financial workflows and increase the scalability and reliability of the platform.

• Execution & Project Management: Effectively manage the team’s short-term roadmap (spanning the next two quarters), actively identifying risks and creating clear mitigation strategies to ensure successful project delivery.

• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead and mentor a team of engineers, fostering their technical and professional growth. Ensure high quality in team deliverables through guidance and hands-on code reviews.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with cross-functional partners (Product, Design, QA, and Customer Success) to deliver delightful user experiences and ensure solutions align with business strategy. Handle most cross-team conflicts and decisions autonomously.

• Operational Excellence: Take ownership of monitoring, diagnosing, and resolving production issues within the team’s services. Establish and promote strong operational practices for the services your team owns.

• Hiring & Team Building: Partner with recruiting to build and grow the team. Own the final hiring decision and be responsible for the team-level organizational design to accomplish team goals.

• Technical Leadership & Execution: Provide strong technical leadership for your squad, guiding architectural decisions, driving the execution of projects from vision to delivery, and actively contributing hands-on (“vibe-coding”) to prototype, unblock complex challenges, and set technical standards.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• Overall has 11+ years of software development experience, with a clear trajectory of increasing technical leadership, architectural ownership, and mentorship responsibilities, along with 2+ years of engineering management experience.

• Proven experience in software engineering with significant hands-on technical contributions, including experience in system design, architecture, and leading technical initiatives.

• Experience building scalable, high-throughput web applications, ideally with modern frameworks (React preferred) and server-side languages such as Python, Node/TS, or Java.

• Demonstrable product focus and a keen understanding of how technology can solve customer problems and drive business outcomes.

• Highly self-driven, with a proactive approach to leadership, technical problem-solving, and initiative execution.

• Experience or strong interest in workflow automation, systems integration, and leveraging AI/ML tools to streamline complex financial processes.

• Experience working in agile development environments and familiarity with practices that promote rapid iteration and velocity.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and align them on product goals.

• A strong “player-coach” mindset, with a proven ability and willingness to be hands-on with code, design, and architecture when necessary to lead by example and unblock your team.

• Enthusiasm for adopting and driving the use of AI-native development tools and methodologies (e.g., Cursor, Augment, Lovable.ai http://Lovable.ai).

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and lead teams effectively in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

• Prior experience in a formal engineering management role is a plus, but strong experience as a Tech Lead or a similar role with significant technical leadership, architectural responsibility, and mentorship responsibilities is highly valued.
