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 that increasingly feed AI systems (e.g., RAG ingestion, embeddings, vector stores), not just dashboards and reports Use AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) as part of your own workflow, and help other engineers adopt them effectively Reduce systemic complexity by identifying and leading architectural debt remediation, and develop 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 Comfort using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as a regular part of the engineering workflow Practical experience with AI/LLM-adjacent data work — e.g., RAG ingestion pipelines, embedding generation, vector store management, or applying data quality and governance practices to data consumed by AI models 5+ Years of experience on Ruby on Rails, React, and modern cloud platforms such as AWS Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with product, engineering, analytics, and business teams
Experience with a semantic or metrics layer (e.g., dbt Semantic Layer, headless BI) Experience with BI, reporting, dashboards, and customer-facing analytics 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: 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 use cases (RAG, embeddings, vector stores) 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, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and represent the company’s technical capabilities externally.
