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.
At Matillion, we are moving beyond traditional data processing to define the future of the AI Data Automation Platform. Our mission is to make data AI-ready at the speed of thought, centred around Maia — our autonomous AI data engineering foundation.
The Senior Staff Engineer is a high-leverage technical leader responsible for driving architectural and engineering excellence across our Hub and Billing ecosystem. The Hub is where Maia Foundation's user management, roles, permissions, authorisation is harnessed, visualised, and controlled. This role is the technical authority also responsible for ensuring our Billing stack 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 Billing System, the evolution of our roles and permissions model, and ensuring our platform performs at a global scale. It sits at the intersection of technical craft, product vision, and organisational influence.
