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.
