Software Engineer - Developer Experience

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.

About the Role

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.
