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   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 (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.   Matillion operates on a hybrid basis, with us coming together 2 days a week in our Manchester office to collaborate and drive our mission forward.
