ABOUT YOUR ROLE Juniper Square’s Data Platform team owns the foundational data infrastructure that powers reporting, analytics, and data access across the company. The team built and operates the data fabric – a real-time streaming data layer built on Kafka, Flink, and Redshift – that serves as the company’s unified data access layer and underpins in-app reporting for customers. The team is now expanding that foundation with a self-service data catalog, governance tooling, and a self-service ingestion and transformation platform built on dbt and Airflow. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will own the delivery of meaningful components of this infrastructure – building and extending systems for data ingestion, transformation, cataloging, lineage, and observability. Since these are self-service tools with significant admin surface, you will also be comfortable with full stack development as you build and maintain these surfaces. You will write production code every day, contribute to technical architecture discussions, and help scale a platform that serves both internal teams and end customers. This role is for someone who executes with high craft and speed, is fluent in agentic development as a first-class part of their workflow, and cares deeply about the reliability and usability of the systems they build. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and Extend Core Data Infrastructure • Design and ship production-quality enhancements to the data fabric platform, including streaming ingestion pipelines (Kafka, Flink), Redshift-based storage and query layers, and data distribution to consuming teams and products • Contribute to the self-service ingestion and transformation platform – enabling domain teams to publish data models and analysts to create aggregations without blocking on data engineering • Extend and maintain the CI/CD pipeline for dbt transformations, including validation frameworks that prevent regressions as the model library grows Own Data Cat
