Job Summary
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 cant 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 were 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. Were here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And were looking for people who want to be part of it.
About the Role
Were Matillion and were 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 were looking for a mid-level Software Engineer to join us in Manchester. This is a small highly autonomous team that doesnt wait to be handed a ticket. Youll 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. Youll 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.
