Job Description
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
As a Staff IT Systems Administrator at Juniper Square, you will design, build, deploy and support IT services, a variety of SaaS applications, and endpoint infrastructure. You will be a jack of all trades getting to work as not only a technical resource but also as a technical owner in IT-managed systems. You will also apply best security practices and respond to security incidents when needed.
The application deadline for this role is May 10th, 2026
What you’ll do
Own Modern Access: Lead the end-to-end management of our Zero Trust (ZTNA) platform. You’ll design granular access policies, manage Tunnels for private applications, and configure the client with a seamless, identity-first security model.
Unblock & Partner with Stakeholders: Act as a strategic bridge between IT and our Engineering and Product teams. You will work better together by proactively designing secure access paths for new tools and dev environments that empower the team rather than slowing them down.
Advanced Debugging & Troubleshooting: Serve as the final escalation point for complex connectivity puzzles. You’ll sweat the details; logs, diagnostics, and network telemetry to solve root causes—whether it’s a policy mismatch, a device posture failure, or a local network conflict.
Scale through Automation: You don’t do manual work twice. You’ll use scripting (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) and Infrastructure as Code to manage global configurations, ensuring our security posture is version-controlled, consistent, and reproducible.
Master the Endpoint: Own the management and security posture of a global, hybrid fleet using Kandji/Iru (macOS) and Intune (Windows). You’ll lead the configuration of CrowdStrike Falcon and ensure every device meets our security baseline through automated compliance and zero-touch deployment.
Vulnerability Ownership: When a vulnerability is identified via CrowdStrike Spotlight, you own the problem. You’ll design the remediation plan and use Real Time Response (RTR) for surgical, remote fixes across the fleet to keep us ahead of threats.
Identity & SaaS Leadership: Manage our core productivity stack, including Okta (Workflows/Lifecycle Management), Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, and Azure AD/O365, ensuring identity is the foundation of every access decision and building customer trust through reliable systems.
Helping Hands: Provide IT service desk support, including change requests, troubleshooting, and break/fix support as needed, mainly serving as an escalation point and SME.
Security Minded: Your decision-making will always have security as an integral part of the outcome. Help ensure a strong security posture and incident response process is being followed across systems you own and manage. You will also assist with security/compliance initiatives when relevant.
AI Champion: Act as an AI thought leader, promoting the use of approved AI solutions across our tech stack. Work closely with our Security team, relevant stakeholders, and broader user base to administer and secure AI tools increasing adoption and productivity throughout Juniper Square.
