About the role
- Our backend - event-driven serverless on AWS (Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions) - orchestrates everything from dealer onboarding to inventory management to real-time transaction processing.
- You are not advising on AI strategy from a whiteboard.
Responsibilities
- observability (OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch), security posture (Auth0 consolidation, IAM), and data architecture (DynamoDB single-table design, Aurora consolidation).
- Mentoring and force-multiplying senior ICs - establishing patterns, reviewing designs, and raising the technical bar across 5 engineering teams.
- Complex data architectures featuring DynamoDB single-table design, MySQL/Aurora, S3 data lakes, Glue Data Catalog, Athena, and Data pipelines.
- We measure our success by the dealer's wins and the trust of their buyers, not just our own code.
Requirements
- You Should Have 8+ years of software engineering experience with at least 3 years in a Staff / Principal / Architect role.
- Experience spending 10-20% of your time in mentoring, cross-team alignment and operating mechanisms.
- Track record of leading monolith-to-services migrations - strangler fig, dual-write validation, traffic-splitting, canary rollouts.
Nice to have
- Automotive, fintech, or multi-tenant marketplace platform experience.
- Experience with data pipelines (NiFi, Glue/Athena) or ETL/data lake tooling.
- Familiarity with Auth0 Organization model, M2M apps, and Actions for JWT enrichment.
- Experience with browser automation (Playwright) in production integration flows.
- Relentless Ownership: No lone wolves, but no pass-backs either.
- We don't say "that's not my job." Invent with Purpose: We don't chase "shiny" tech.
- We check egos at the door.
- Evolve or Evaporate: Change is our constant.
Skills
- These are not chatbots bolted onto a dashboard.
- Scope & Scale 5000+ destination dealer tenants, each with isolated databases and per-tenant configuration.
- Billions in annual Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) flowing through platform transactions.
- Tens of thousands of API requests per minute across REST, SOAP, and event-driven integration surfaces.
- Data pipelines spanning 6 integration domains with multi-protocol vendor connectivity.
- High-availability AWS stack including Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, ECS Fargate, Aurora, API Gateway, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
- Advanced agentic workflow orchestration utilizing lean AWS Bedrock AgentCore, MCP servers, or LangChain/LangGraph frameworks.
Compensation
- The expected salary range for this role is $195,000 to $220,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Benefits
- A2Z Sync offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
- Employer provided STD/LTD and life insurance.
- Unlimited paid time off, including 10 paid holidays.
Company info
- how agents connect to production systems, how we evaluate output quality, how we manage model costs at scale, and how we roll back when an agent misbehaves.
- System design and technical decision-making for migration waves - from identity/tenant services through core domain extraction and frontend decomposition.
- The dual-write framework, API Gateway traffic-splitting, and per-tenant feature flag rollout that make every migration step reversible.
- We are Better Together.
