Principal Software Engineer (C#/.NET)

Mitratech’s engineering organization is a collaborative and dynamic environment where engineers have the autonomy to drive technical direction and innovate. Our engineers are passionate about building high-quality, scalablesoftwaresolutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the legal technology industry.We’rein the middle of an active shift toward AI-augmented engineering - using AI agents and tooling across the SDLC - and Principal Engineers playa central rolein shaping how that transformation happens., As a Principal Engineer at Mitratech, you will drive technical direction for a significant product domain or platform capability, partnering with cross-functional and cross-country teams to deliver high-impact solutions. You will have a significant scope of impact, influencing the technical roadmap and elevating engineering craft across multiple teams.You’llalso help lead theorg’sadoption of agentic AI tools and practices - from how we review AI-generated code to how we architect systems so agents can contribute safely and effectively.

What You Will Do

• Drive technical direction for a significant product domain or platform capability, ensuring alignment with company goals and customer needs

• Reduce systemic complexity byidentifyingand leading architectural debt remediation efforts, improving overall system reliability and maintainability

• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to assess multi-quarter roadmap feasibility,providingtechnical guidance and recommendations

• Elevate engineering craft across multiple teams through Request for Comments (RFCs) and mentorship, promoting best practices and knowledge sharing

• Collaborate with cross-functionalandcross-countryteams to design and implement scalable, high-quality software solutions, ensuringtimelydelivery and customer satisfaction

• Shape how the team reviews AI-generated code and supervises AI agents, and adapt architecture so codebases are ready for agentic contribution

• Own cookbook and knowledge-basestandards that make institutional knowledge and best practices consumable by both engineers and AI agents

• Evaluate and help standardize agentic development tools across engineering, balancing velocity gains against cost, security, and quality risk, As a Principal Engineer at Mitratech,you’lldrive technical direction on complex problems that shape our customers and the legal tech industry.You’llhaveautonomyto make strategic decisions, mentor junior engineers, and elevate engineering craft across a collaborative team.You’llalso help define what AI-native engineering looks like at Mitratech - from tooling to culture - as we transform how we build software.
