Ready to shape the future of data?
Matillion is the intelligent data integration platform.
We're changing how the world works with data – and we need driven, curious people who think big and move fast.
We built the Data Productivity Cloud to supercharge data productivity, and now we’re shaping the future of data engineering with Maia – our AI-powered virtual data engineers that help teams design, build, and manage data pipelines at unmatched speed.
Join #TeamGreen, where the mission comes first, collaboration drives us forward, and everyone pulls in the same direction to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves.

Role Purpose

Matillion is built around small development teams with responsibility for specific themes and initiatives. We are now looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) team, based in Hyderabad, India.

How do you build the culture, tools, and processes that take developers from idea to production without friction? The Internal Engineering Platform takes on this challenge by owning the end-to-end path from local development through to deployed service. As a member of the team, you will work with Software Engineers across Matillion to ensure their experience, from setting up a new service, to developing locally with confidence, to shipping changes safely into production, is both seamless and satisfying.

This is a role for engineers who want to own problems end-to-end. You will not be handed a fully specified ticket to action. Instead, you will identify friction in the developer lifecycle, design the solution, justify the approach to the team, and then build and operate it. You will serve as a subject matter expert across source control, build, branching, continuous integration, automated testing, release configuration, deployment, and general development and release best practices. You will also drive the adoption of Generative AI and agentic tooling to elevate developer productivity across the organisation.

Our IEP team advocates for developer needs by ensuring those are taken into consideration in decision-making processes. You will provide timely support to and gather feedback from developers to foster a collaborative and supportive developer community. We look across Matillion to build central solutions, break down technical barriers, and strengthen existing systems.

What you will be doing

Internal Engineering Platform

  • Solution Ownership: Identify problems in the developer lifecycle, design the solution, and take it through to implementation and operation. The team sets direction; it does not wait to be told what to build.

  • Developer Empathy: Gather holistic feedback from developers and design solutions that measurably improve their lived experience.

  • Simple Setups: Build scaffolding and templating tooling so that a new service can go from idea to deployed in hours rather than weeks.

  • Local Confidence: Design and maintain local development environments that let developers validate changes before pushing, reducing disruption in shared environments.

  • Zero Touch Deploys: Design and implement tools and processes that carry changes from merge to production with automated confidence, without manual shepherding.

  • AI Standardisation: Innovate ways to use Generative AI and agents for developer assistance, and curate the approved toolkit and agent configurations used across engineering.

  • Hermetic Builds: Ensure our builds are insensitive to the libraries and other installed software on the build environment.

  • Self-Service Releases: Develop tools that allow product development teams to control and run their own release processes.

  • CI/CD and Build Tooling: Design, improve, and glue together the tools used for continuous integration, build management, automated testing, release management, and configuration.

  • Governance: Own and enforce policies and procedures around source control, changes, and releases.

  • Datasource Environments: Manage test endpoints used for validating Matillion's data connectors, including accounts, roles, credentials, and test data.

  • Measurement-driven Efficiency: Use engineering metrics such as DORA to proactively drive efficiency and identify gaps.

  • Administration and Support: Perform administration and troubleshooting, and support engineers across Matillion.

  • Enhance Collaboration: Work closely with different engineering teams to operate as one cohesive unit.

  • Self Development and Growth

  • Develop new skills by working with other members of the team

    Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

    Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

    Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

    Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data engineering hiring over the next three years — Spark, dbt, lakehouse and AI. Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
