Dwelly — a UK-based, AI-enabled lettings and property management platform, that is growing through a roll-up strategy acquiring estate agencies. The company leverages two arms: i) acquiring existing letting agencies, effectively buying its highly sticky, recurring revenue-type landlords portfolios, and then ii) building a top-notch technology to automate tenant management, payments, and post-rental property maintenance. The company seamlessly integrates AI services to automate all business processes within brick-and-mortar real estate agencies, integrating them into a tech-enabled digital letting platform in two months to radically improve the user experiences and increase efficiency of the business.
We’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations.
We are looking for a Head of Data Infrastructure — someone who thinks in systems, not pipelines — to own and build one of the most critical systems in Dwelly: the infrastructure that enables us to integrate, migrate, and operate data from acquired businesses at scale.
This role directly impacts how fast we can acquire and integrate new agencies and therefore how fast the company grows.
This role combines three critical responsibilities:
This is a foundational leadership role responsible for defining our data architecture, infrastructure, and strategy as we scale the platform and integrate dozens of legacy CRM systems into a single unified system.
You will lead the Data Infrastructure team, including a Data Platform Lead and additional engineers, and work closely with Analytics, Product, Operations, and Finance to ensure that data becomes a core strategic advantage for the company.
While this role remains technically hands-on, your primary responsibility will be to design the architecture, set technical standards, and build a high-performing data engineering team.
As part of our acquisition strategy, each business we acquire operates on a different real estate CRM system.
Your team will design scalable infrastructure to ingest and normalize data from multiple CRM systems, including:
This will involve:
You will oversee the development of a centralized analytics and data infrastructure used by multiple teams across the company.
This includes:
Ensure that Dwelly’s data infrastructure meets strict regulatory, financial, and privacy compliance requirements as the company scales through acquisitions.
Responsibilities include:

What we offer is not a fancy office or a static workplace. Instead, this is solving one of worlds’ most complex problems in the largest consumer industry in the world (residential rentals), to improve the experience for >30% of households (>5M in the UK, and >100M including EU and US) that live in rental homes.
This is about disrupting the largest, most antiquated industry in the world, with one of the strongest operational and technical teams that exist in the UK and the EU. We work hard, and we shoot for extremely ambitious results. But we want people to be proud of what they’ve built and be able to look back and say one day “hell yeah, that was me that did it all”.
