You will work at the intersection of data engineering, AI/ML, and product - owning the design and delivery of key features from concept to production.

What You Will Build

* Data platform components that serve ML models and surface predictive insights to dealers and partners

* Features within intelligent agent systems that enable non-technical stakeholders to query and act on complex datasets

* Scalable data pipelines that process massive volumes of transactional, behavioral, and market data

* API integrations that transform raw signals into insights directly influencing revenue streams
