 * Experiencedesigning, building, and integrating AI/ML-powered features, including third-party LLMservices

 * Working understanding of LLM behavior - prompt design, output evaluation, and handling non-deterministic results in a product context

 * Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools or AI pair-programming assistants (e.g.Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in real production workflows, with sound judgment on when to trust vs. verify AI-generated output

 * Experience adapting review processes, documentation, or architecture to support AI-agent contribution to acodebase

 * Experiencewith relational databases, suchasMicrosoftSQL Server,PostgreSQL, including data modeling and query optimization

 * Familiarity with a major cloud platform, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, including deployment, scaling, and infrastructure management

 * Strong understanding of software design patterns, principles, and methodologies, with the ability to apply them to complex problems

 * Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functionaland cross-countryteamsand stakeholders

Nice to Have

 * Experience with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes
 * Knowledge of agile development methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban
 * Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools, such as CI/CD pipelines and monitoring systems

The Stack Context

 * Backend: primarily .NET/C#, with some services in Python, Java, and Go

 * Data: Microsoft SQL Server as the primary relationalstores. PostgreSQL is a plus.

 * Cloud: workloads run across AWS and Azure, depending on product line

 * AI/agentic tooling: agentic coding assistants (e.g.Claude Code) in active pilot across engineering, plus an internal cookbook/knowledge-baseinitiative for AI-consumable documentation

## Description

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.
