Are you ready to shape the future of data?

Matillion is the company behind Maia, the AI Data Automation platform. 

In the AI economy, demand for data is exploding. Manual data engineering can’t keep up. Maia fixes that by combining 15 years of data expertise with agentic AI to eliminate the manual work that slows data teams down. Organisations like Cisco, DocuSign, and Slack are already using it to deliver real business impact, faster.

We started in Manchester and now we’re global - with teams across the UK, US and India.

We are driven, curious, energetic people who move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high standard. We’re here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.


The Senior Solution Architect at Matillion plays a key role in Matillion’s GTM motion.  This role is responsible for discovering customer requirements, demonstrating how Matillion’s solutions solve their challenges, and driving business value through the platform. The Solution Architect is a consultative and adaptable team player who combines solution selling, technical expertise, and a customer-centric approach to engage in high-level technical discussions and foster long-term customer relationships.

  • Monitor adoption dashboards for key success indicators, proactively driving consumption upward, and ensuring the timely resolution of issues.

Marketing and Thought Leadership

  • Create technical content and case studies that demonstrate how Matillion’s solutions address customer challenges.
  • Represent Matillion as a technical expert at industry events, conferences, and user groups, fostering a strong brand presence.

Product Feedback & Improvement

  • Collect and communicate customer feedback to the Product and Engineering teams, ensuring continuous product improvements and alignment with market needs.
  • Stay informed about industry trends and best practices in data integration, cloud computing, and data transformation, sharing insights with both customers and internal teams.

  • Expertise in cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP and experience with Cloud Data Platforms like Snowflake and Databricks.
  • In-depth understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB).
  • Hands-on experience with technical problem-solving and integration technologies (APIs, Linux, SQL).
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have
