Job Overview

Principal Data Engineer

## About Engineering at Mitratech Legal Solutions

Mitratech's engineering organization is a collaborative and dynamic environment where engineers are empowered to drive technical direction and innovation. Our engineers are passionate about delivering high-quality products and solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers, and we're committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

## About the Role

Mitratech is a fast-paced and dynamic environment, and this role requires someone who is adaptable, resilient, and able to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. If you’re a seasoned engineer with a passion for technical leadership, innovation, and collaboration — including building the data foundations that power trusted reporting and agentic AI-driven products — we’d love to hear from you.

## What You Will Do

- Drive technical direction for a significant product domain or platform capability, ensuring alignment with business objectives and customer needs
- Design and maintain data pipelines and reporting models that power trusted business metrics and increasingly feed agentic AI systems (e.g., RAG ingestion, embeddings, vector stores, AI agent workflows)
- Use AI-assisted and agentic engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, AI agents) as part of your own workflow, and help other engineers adopt agentic development practices effectively
- Reduce systemic complexity by identifying and leading architectural debt remediation, and developing strategies for ongoing technical debt management
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to inform multi-quarter roadmap feasibility, and provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure successful implementation
- Elevate engineering craft across multiple teams through RFCs, mentorship, and knowledge sharing, and develop training programs to improve engineering skills and knowledge
- Represent Mitratech’s technical capabilities externally, including speaking at conferences, contributing to open-source projects, and engaging with industry peers and thought leaders

## What We Are Looking For

To be successful in this role, you will need:

- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on technical leadership and architecture
- Deep understanding of data engineering principles, including data modeling, data warehousing, reporting, and data governance
- Strong technical expertise in SQL, PostgreSQL, ETL/ELT pipelines, BI tools, and analytics platforms
- Practical experience with AI/LLM-adjacent and agentic AI data work — e.g., RAG ingestion pipelines, embedding generation, vector store management, or building/operating AI agent workflows over data — using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as a regular part of the engineering workflow
- Working knowledge of modern cloud platforms such as AWS
- Experience with BI, reporting, dashboards, and customer-facing analytics
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with product, engineering, analytics, and business teams

## Nice to Have

- Working knowledge of Ruby on Rails and React
- Experience with a semantic or metrics layer (e.g., dbt Semantic Layer, headless BI)
- Understanding of CI/CD, Git-based workflows, and infrastructure-as-code

The Stack Context

- Modern data stack: Fivetran, Airbyte, dbt, Snowflake, GitHub, Terraform, or similar tools
- Application context (nice to have): Ruby on Rails, React, or similar backend/frontend frameworks
- Data modeling: SQL, analytics models, documentation, testing, naming standards, and version control
- Infrastructure: cloud-based data infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud storage
- Data workflows: ingestion, transformation, orchestration, reporting, deployment, and change management
- Reporting focus: trusted metrics, scalable reporting models, dashboards, exports, and data quality
- AI surface: data pipelines and quality practices supporting AI/LLM and agentic AI use cases (RAG, embeddings, vector stores, AI agents) alongside traditional BI

## Why This Role

This role offers a unique opportunity to drive technical direction and innovation at a rapidly growing company, while also mentoring and coaching engineers to improve their craft. As a Principal Data Engineer at Mitratech, you will have the chance to work on complex and challenging problems spanning trusted reporting and agentic AI systems, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and represent the company's technical capabilities externally. If you're looking for a role that offers a mix of technical leadership, data and reporting depth, agentic AI innovation, and collaboration, this could be the perfect fit for you.

We are an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity at all levels. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status.
