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 Staff Engineer (Frontend) is a high-leverage technical leader responsible for driving architectural excellence across our React-powered ecosystem. The web UI is where Maia's power is harnessed, visualised, and controlled. This role is the technical authority responsible for ensuring our frontend is as sophisticated and performant as the AI it commands.
This role partners with the Senior Staff community to lead organisational "big bets" - including the evolution of our Design System, the expansion of our micro-frontend architecture, and ensuring our platform performs at a global scale. It sits at the intersection of technical craft, product vision, and organisational influence.
What you will be doing
• Own the Design System strategy and micro-frontend architecture, driving consistency, modularity, and long-term scalability across our product surfaces
• Champion an agentic development culture - integrating AI tools into daily engineering workflows and staying ahead of the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape
• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to align frontend strategy with the Maia platform roadmap, validating architectural proposals before full-scale development
• Develop engineering capability across squads through coaching, structured feedback, and leading by example on Matillion's engineering values
What we are looking for
• Proven ability to lead the design and delivery of significant frontend projects in a SaaS product environment, including cross-team strategic efforts like Design Systems or micro-frontends
• Deep proficiency in agentic development - AI tools are already part of your daily engineering workflow, not something you're exploring
• A strategic, economically-minded thinker who can zoom out to the organisational level, influence decisions, and balance long-term maintainability with delivery velocity
