Senior Staff Software Engineer

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 As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on our Maia team, you'll be at the heart of everything we do: working on agentic AI systems, building new tools and integrations, and staying finger-on-the-pulse with the latest developments in Gen AI. This isn't BAU engineering - this is high-visibility, high-impact work where your decisions shape the product. You'll be driving architecture, mentoring engineers, and feeding into strategy. Things move quickly here. Requirements evolve, new opportunities emerge, and we need someone who thrives in that environment. If you're an expert Java engineer and already experimenting with Claude, Gemini, and agentic workflows - and you want to do that at scale in a world-class engineering team - this is the role for you. This role is hybrid to our Manchester office. We value collaboration and believe the best work happens when we're together -so we ask for a minimum of 2 days per week in the office. It's not just about attendance; it's about building the relationships and culture that make great engineering possible.
