POSITION SUMMARY

Westcore is developing modern data infrastructure to run our
business more efficiently. We are seeking a hands-on Platform &
Data Solutions Architect to design and build the shared data
model, platform backbone, and integrations that power a growing
suite of applications, and to lead the transformation of our
information into a structured, well-governed, AI-enabled
foundation.

You will be the technical backbone of the platform and the
company’s one-stop shop for data: architecting the data
structures, building shared services and integrations, enabling
safe and data-governance compliant data architecture for
applications, and collaborating on delivering or thoughtfully
sourcing AI capabilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a
modern platform end-to-end in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial
environment.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

· Data architecture. Design and own a shared, canonical
data model and a well-partitioned relational database where
multiple applications read and write safely. You build real
applications and the data foundation beneath them, not read-only
dashboards.

· Data and document strategy. Lead the transformation of
the company’s information, both structured system data and
unstructured documents, into structured, governed, AI-ready data.
This includes a strategy for content that today lives across
systems such as SharePoint and Office365, working with multiple
stakeholders on the business and compliance decisions about what
to bring in, when, and how.

· Platform backbone and security. Build and own shared
platform services (authentication and SSO, administration and
role management, document processing, and an AI and
natural-language gateway). Implement access controls such as
row-level security in the database as the platform’s security
backbone.

· Enablement and cross-department support. Support
application development across every department, not only those
already building. Some teams have a hands-on builder who can
drive their own app and needs backend support to get it over the
line, other teams know what they want but need someone more
hands-on to build it with them. Provide both modes of support,
reading what each department needs and flexing your involvement
to match. Set the guardrails (source control, environments,
secrets, and a lightweight review process) that let capable
builders ship autonomously without compromising data integrity.

· Integration and source-of-truth discipline. Own
integrations to our systems of record, including Yardi and its
data layer, which remains our accounting system of record, and to
market-data and vendor sources via APIs and connectors. Handle
any write-back through approval-gated workflows, enable
integrations of sources of truth.

· Support for accounting and finance. Enable AI and
automation for finance and accounting processes with
deterministic standard of validation.

· Model-agnostic AI delivery and build-vs-buy. Deliver
custom AI and agentic solutions, including natural-language “talk
to your data” and retrieval (RAG) capabilities, where in-house is
the right call. Evaluate build-vs-buy per use case, including
overseeing technical due diligence for any AI solutions.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information
Systems, Software or Data Engineering, or equivalent practical
experience.

· Demonstrated experience designing and building
production data platforms on a modern relational database,
including schema design, access controls such as row-level
security, and databases that serve multiple applications.

· Hands-on full-stack development and modern web
application delivery, including server-side and API work.

· Practical experience building AI and LLM features
(agentic workflows, retrieval/RAG, natural-language-to-data, and
document processing) beyond basic prompting.

· Experience integrating enterprise systems via REST APIs
and building or consuming ETL pipelines, with strong
source-of-truth and data-governance discipline.

· Working familiarity with the Microsoft ecosystem
(Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Entra ID), where a significant
portion of our data lives today.

· Tooling-agnostic judgment, dynamic, and adaptable:
prototype fast, pivot based on merit. Energized by fast change,
and able to make progress even with unclear paths.

· A strong collaborator and communicator who can take an
“ask” from any department and support it effectively, flexing
between backend support for a team’s own builder and more
hands-on delivery for teams that need it. You are not expected to
arrive knowing how each team operates; you listen, translate a
business need into a technical path, and meet each team at its
level of technical capability.

· Security-first instincts and personal credibility: you
think in data flows, trust boundaries, and access controls.

STRONGLY PREFERRED

· MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Supabase or similar, Node.js, and
Cloudflare or similar edge and serverless platforms.

· Experience with leading LLM platforms (Claude, Copilot,
or OpenAI) and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server or connector
development.

· Entra ID SSO/SAML, least-privilege access design, and
security-first architecture.

· Experience enabling “citizen developers” and
line-of-business builders safely against shared infrastructure.

· Large-scale document ingestion, knowledge-retrieval, or
RAG over an enterprise corpus.

· Experience with Yardi, or commercial real estate data
systems (CoStar, CompStak, Argus, GreenStreet).

· Range across company sizes: From larger, structured
organizations, to smaller, fast-moving firms.

· Commercial real estate, real estate finance, or
institutional investment domain exposure.
