Technical Lead (Mobile) - India

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

We are looking for a Technical Lead with strong expertise in React Native (iOS focus) and Python backend development to lead the design, development, and scaling of our mobile and server-side applications.

Technical Leadership

• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and mentorship to frontend and backend engineers.
• Define and enforce engineering best practices (testing, code quality, security, documentation).
• Lead sprint planning, estimation, and roadmap execution.
• Balance hands-on coding with architectural decision-making.
• Work closely with Product, Design, and QA to deliver high-quality features.

  Mobile Expertise:

• Deep knowledge of React Native iOS apps (deployment, provisioning, App Store guidelines).
• Experience integrating native modules (Swift/Objective-C).
• Familiarity with cross-platform RN development for future Android support.

  Backend Expertise:

• Strong in Python, FastAPI, GraphQL APIs.
