What are the responsibilities and job description for the AI & Data Architect position at RRA Capital | CRE Bridge Lender?
What You'll Own
You'll start by understanding our data — where it lives, what it means, how it moves across Microsoft 365, HubSpot, underwriting files, loan documents, emails, and market research. Then you'll build the foundation: a unified knowledge layer with enterprise search, clean governance, and secure permissions. From there, the roadmap moves toward AI copilots for our investment and operations teams, and eventually an agent-first operating model.
The 24-month outcome we're building toward: enterprise search across firm knowledge, a trusted data layer connecting our core systems, AI copilots deployed to business teams, and a meaningful reduction in manual workflows.
You'll translate that vision into architecture. Then you'll build it.
What We're Looking For
You don't need 15 years. You need to be genuinely excellent — the kind of person who has already built things that work in production, not just in demos. If you're earlier in your career and your work speaks for itself, we want to hear from you.
Specifically
Phoenix-based is strongly preferred. Exceptional candidates in New York City will be considered.
Why This Seat Is Different
RRA Capital is a real estate credit platform focused on structured lending and opportunistic investments, powered by a lean, high-performing team with direct access to decision-makers. We value intellectual curiosity, ownership, and people who are genuinely enjoyable to work with.
You won't be one of fifty engineers working on a feature. You'll be the architect of an entire firm's data and AI foundation — with your name on every major decision. The problems are real, the access is direct, and the upside of building something that works is visible immediately.
Compensation is designed to attract top-tier technical talent. Benefits include medical insurance, 401(k) with employer match, and unlimited PTO.

AI & Data Architect
RRA Capital | Phoenix, AZ
Most AI roles at this level ask you to maintain what someone else built. This one asks you to build it.
RRA Capital is a boutique real estate credit firm. We move fast, make real investment decisions, and run lean by design. We're hiring our first AI and Data Architect — the person who designs and builds the data foundation that will power how we invest, operate, and eventually deploy intelligent agents across the firm.
There is no existing stack to inherit. No committee to slow you down. No ten layers of approval. Just direct access to leadership, and the autonomy to build it right.

Specifically
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar modern data platforms
- You know the difference between a working prototype and a production-grade system — and you've shipped the latter
- Experience with agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, Copilot Studio, or equivalent)
- You understand data governance, identity management, and permissions in an enterprise environment
- You can operate independently — there's no large engineering team here, and that's intentional
