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.
We're Matillion, and we're building the first AI Data Automation platform. Our Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) team owns the end-to-end path that takes developers from idea to production; and we're looking for a mid-level Software Engineer to join us in Manchester. This is a small, highly autonomous team that doesn't wait to be handed a ticket. You'll identify friction in the developer lifecycle, design the fix and build it. Python is your primary language. You write proper, production-grade software, not just scripts.
Right now, the most exciting frontier for this team is AI. You'll be building and standardising the agentic tooling that shapes how every engineer at Matillion uses AI to write, test and ship code. If you have a mix of software development and SRE/DevOps experience, a genuine curiosity for how systems work and the drive to operate autonomously in a small team with big impact, this is the role for you.
What you will be doing
- Identifying friction in the developer lifecycle and owning the solution end-to-end; from problem definition and system design through to implementation and production operation, without waiting to be told what to build
- Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, build tooling, scaffolding and self-service release processes that let product teams ship changes from merge to production with automated confidence
- Designing and developing AI and agentic tooling that standardises how engineers across Matillion use AI - curating approved tools, configurations and agent workflows that elevate productivity across the engineering organisation
- Creating and maintaining local development environments, hermetic builds and templating tooling so that a new service can go from idea to deployed in hours rather than weeks
- Partnering closely with engineering teams across Matillion - gathering feedback, providing support, enforcing governance around source control and releases and contributing to a collaborative, high-trust developer community
What we are looking for
- Experience across software engineering and DevOps/SRE - you can design and build a solution and operate it in production, with strong hands-on Python skills and ideally working knowledge of AWS, Docker and Terraform
- Experience with CI/CD and build management tools and processes - GitHub Actions, Gradle, Maven or equivalent
- Exposure to or genuine interest in integrating Generative AI or agentic tooling into engineering workflows - the more hands-on experience you have with tools like Claude Code, the better
- Autonomy and inquisitiveness in equal measure - you dig into problems independently, understand root causes not just symptoms, and are motivated to stretch yourself in a small team where your work is highly visible
- A relationship builder who understands the full software development lifecycle - you communicate well across teams, gather feedback with intent and design solutions that genuinely improve how developers work
- Company Equity
- 30 days holiday + bank holiday
- 5 days paid volunteering leave
- Private Health Insurance
- Life Insurance
- Pension
- Access to mental health support
