We’re on a mission to make behavioral health more available and accessible. We're backed by YCombinator, Craft, Zigg, and many others to make this dream a reality.

Building an inclusive culture is one of our core tenets as a company. We’re very aware of the structural inequalities that exist, and recognize that underrepresented minorities are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t think they meet all of the requirements. If that’s you and you’re reading this, we’d like to encourage you to apply regardless — we’d love to get to know you and see if there’s a place for you here!

About Our Mission
At Juniper, we're building software for behavioral health clinicians to improve quality of care. We streamline and replace manual efforts so clinicians can focus on what they do best: providing high-quality care.
We started Juniper because we care about impact — the lack of supply for behavioral healthcare means those who need it most cannot access it. We believe this is one of the biggest problems out there today. It’s why we’re tackling this broken industry, and why we want you on this mission with us.

About Our Culture
Our mission to change behavioral health starts with us and and how we operate. We don’t want to just change behavioral health, we want to change the way startups operate. Here are a few tactical examples:
-
Diversity, equity, and inclusion has been a priority since day 1. Currently, half of our leadership team (COO + CTO) identify as female, and our cap table includes over a dozen women. We still have a ways to go, but we’re committed to sourcing, hiring, and retaining talent from underrepresented folks in tech and outside of tech.
-
Behavioral health is something we live and breathe — all four members of the Juniper leadership team see therapists every week, and we have a specific mental health benefit to help if that's something you're interested in exploring!
-
We have to have a sense of humor. Healthcare is so broken, it's depressing if you don't laugh with us.

About The Role
Juniper is growing rapidly, and we’re looking for our first engineering manager to help us grow and support the company’s technical team. This person will help us build and scale the engineering team, influence tone and culture, and define the company’s technical and product direction.
What you'll do:
- Empower engineering team to achieve a high level of technical productivity, reliability, and simplicity.
- Provide structure and guidance to help engineers grow and develop new skills.
- Drive company-wide initiatives, pushing forward the company’s technical and product direction.
- Champion engineering team culture, cultivating spaces that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion.
What we're looking for:
- Independence, throughput, and velocity — an ability to drive and build projects from 0-to-1. You'll need to identify problems, build alignment, and execute solutions with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.
- Prioritization of engineering as a craft — beyond implementation that meets functional requirements, also maintain a high technical bar that strives for implementation as readable, maintainable, and scalable.
- Growth mindset — a mentality of approaching unknowns with excitement, a penchant for learning new skills and technologies to solve new engineering challenges.
- Alignment on company values — it’s the first chapter of our company story. You’ll be expected to cultivate and nurture existing values, and also play a lead role in shaping how it unfolds.
Juniper is based in New York City and are prioritizing in-person and hybrid candidates.
