Description

At Mitratech, we’re a team of engineers passionate about building world-class products that empower Legal, Risk, Compliance, and HR professionals at Fortune 100 companies. We thrive in a globally dispersed, inclusive culture that values innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence.

With continued growth, we’re looking for a Lead Engineer to join our Document Automation Portal team. HotDocs is Mitratech’s flagship document automation platform, used by enterprise clients worldwide to streamline the assembly of complex legal documents and contracts. The Advance portal is a modern and actively developed software solution for managing customer templates and documents.

As Lead Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in evolving this product, combining hands-on coding with technical leadership, while guiding a small but high-performing development team. This is a remote-first role.

About the Role

As the Lead Engineer of the Document Automation Portal, you will:

Lead by Example: Write clean, maintainable, high-performance code in the latest versions of .NET Core and Angular, while setting the technical direction for the team.

Own Team Delivery: Take accountability for the work of a 3-person development team, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery against sprint and release goals.

Mentor & Manage: Provide technical guidance, coaching, and feedback to your team. Lead performance reviews, workload planning, and ensure professional development.

Recruit & Grow Talent: Drive interviewing and hiring for the Document Automation Portal team, ensuring we attract and retain top engineering talent.

Architect Solutions: Apply modern architectural patterns and design principles to ensure scalability, security, and sustainability of the platform.

Optimize Performance: Apply deep expertise in performance tuning across both applications and databases.

Lead AI Integration: Champion the thoughtful use of AI-assisted coding tools, ensuring they enhance productivity without compromising quality, maintainability, or security.

Deliver Resilient Cloud Solutions: Engineer solutions using Azure services (App Services, Functions, Redis, DNS/networking).

Embed Security by Design:

Bring a security-first mindset to all aspects of development, ensuring that every solution delivered by the team is resilient against threats, compliant with best practices, and meets the high standards expected by enterprise clients.

Automate & Streamline: Partner with DevOps to strengthen CI/CD pipelines, leverage containers (especially Linux-based), and drive automation across delivery.

Collaborate Effectively: Work closely with product managers, stakeholders, and other teams to align technical execution with business objectives.

About You

You are:

A Hands-On Leader: You thrive on coding but also inspire others to follow your technical lead.
A Problem Solver: Skilled at navigating complex systems and balancing short-term fixes with long-term solutions.
An Architectural Thinker: Experienced in applying architecture patterns and leading technical discussions.
A Mentor & People Manager: Comfortable managing, guiding, and growing other developers.
AI-Savvy: Thoughtful about how to integrate AI into development workflows and experienced in its practical use.

Cloud Fluent: Deeply familiar with building and running production systems at scale in Azure.

Security-First: Always considering data protection, compliance, and web application security in your designs.

Results-Oriented: Focused on delivering value while keeping technical debt under control.
