[Hiring] Head of Data Platform @A2Z Sync

Role Description

We operate a multi-tenant automotive SaaS platform serving thousands of dealer groups across the United States. Our data layer has grown to support a complex, high-throughput transactional platform. Now we need to make it intelligent.

We are building a Dealer Intelligence Platform: a closed-loop system that observes raw signals from dealer operations, predicts outcomes, optimizes decisions under constraints, acts through approved channels, and learns from what happened.

• Pricing optimization
• Lead routing
• Inventory mix planning
• Service bay scheduling

This role owns the entire data substrate that makes that loop possible — the lake, the feature store, the model registry, the action ledger, and the governance framework that keeps it all tenant-isolated and audit-grade.

You are not inheriting a finished architecture; you are designing the one that turns a transactional platform into a decision engine.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in data engineering or data architecture with at least 2 years in a platform-level architect or Head-of role.
• Deep experience with both relational (MySQL/PostgreSQL/Aurora) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, DynamoDB Streams) data modeling.
• Hands-on experience building or operating feature stores.
• Hands-on experience with AWS data and ML services.
• Current, practicing AI/Gen-AI practitioner.
• Experience with streaming and CDC patterns.
• Experience with data pipeline orchestration.
• Understanding of data migration patterns.
• Experience with multi-tenant data architectures.
• Strong data governance instincts.
• The ability to write a data architecture doc that engineers can implement without ambiguity.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with SageMaker and AWS Bedrock.
• Experience building embeddings pipelines.
• Experience designing retrieval systems.
• Experience building closed-loop data systems.
• Experience with data quality and anomaly detection at scale.
• Understanding of multi-tenant AI governance.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Employer provided STD/LTD and life insurance.
• Matching 401k plan.
• Unlimited paid time off, including 10 paid holidays.
• Real ownership of a high-stakes AI surface — your roadmap, your architecture decisions, your metrics.
