Job Overview

Join our team as we reimagine and modernize the core of Relativity’s data architecture. You’ll play a pivotal role in transforming the Document Domain — a foundational component of our platform—into a more scalable, performant, and developer-friendly system. This high-impact initiative is central to our Cloud Native Transformation goals and touches nearly every part of our product. You’ll work on complex, high-scale systems that directly influence customer experience and internal productivity, while helping to shape the future of how data is modeled, accessed, and scaled across Relativity.

Job Description and Requirements

Your role in action 

  • Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of Document Domain modernization initiatives. 

  • Define technical direction and best practices for data modeling, API design, and system performance. 

  • Partner with stakeholders across engineering, product, and infrastructure to align goals and execution. 

  • Drive initiatives to reduce operational burden and improve scalability and responsiveness. 

  • Mentor engineers and foster a high-performing, collaborative team culture. 

  • Participate in code reviews and on-call rotations to ensure system reliability and performance. 

Your skills 

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on backend systems and data architecture. 

  • Expertise in C# or similar languages (Go, Java, Ruby), with strong design pattern knowledge. 

  • Deep experience with OLTP systems, relational and NoSQL databases, and distributed architectures. 

  • Experience abstracting direct OLTP data CRUD access via APIs is essential. 

  • Strong background in API development (REST, gRPC, GraphQL), microservices, and cloud-native technologies. 

  • Experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex technical projects. 

  • Passion for mentoring, collaboration, and building inclusive, high-performing teams. 

We’d particularly love it if you have: 

  • Experience with Domain Driven Design (DDD). 

  • Experience designing and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines in cloud-native environments. 

  • Experience with CosmosDB, CockroachDB, or Postgres in high-scale environments. 

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and DevOps workflows. 

  • A track record of driving architectural change and improving developer experience. 

  • Experience with Spark (PySpark or Scala) or DataFusion (Rust) and columnar table formats like (Delta or Iceberg). 

Relativity is committed to competitive, fair, and equitable compensation practices.

This position is eligible for total compensation which includes a competitive base salary, an annual performance bonus, and long-term incentives.

The expected salary range for this role is between following values:

$150,000 and $224,000

The final offered salary will be based on several factors, including but not limited to the candidate's depth of experience, skill set, qualifications, and internal pay equity. Hiring at the top end of the range would not be typical, to allow for future meaningful salary growth in this position.
