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

  • Work with the Team Lead and Manager to identify training goals

  • Partake in technical discussions within the team

  • Actively identify and complete opportunities for self-training and external training

  • Drive the team's process of continual improvement

  • What we are looking for

    Essential Skills

  • 3+ years of combined experience across software engineering and DevOps/SRE. We are looking for engineers who can both design and build a solution, and operate it in production.

  • Strong software engineering background with hands-on experience in Python, AWS, Docker, and Terraform. Exposure to Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, NodeJS, Go, or React is a plus.

  • Experience with CI/CD and build management tools and processes (for example Gradle, Maven, GitHub Actions, or equivalent).

  • Familiarity with source code version control systems, specifically GitHub.

  • Metrics driven: proficient in measuring success, value, and gaps, with familiarity of engineering metrics such as DORA.

  • Desirable Skills

  • Experience with developer portals

  • System design experience, particularly for internal platforms or shared tooling

  • Familiarity with SQL and no-SQL databases

  • Experience integrating Generative AI or agentic tooling into engineering workflows

  • Personal Capabilities Required

    • Inquisitiveness: digging into problems and solutions to understand the underlying technology

    • Autonomy: ability to work on a task and solve problems independently

    • Motivation: sets personal challenges and constantly looks to stretch themselves

    • Problem solving: recognition of problems and recasting difficult-to-solve problems to find unique and innovative solutions

    • Integrity: honest and transparent in dealing, open to voice and accept criticism, trustworthy and builds credibility through actions

    • Detail focused: pays attention to the details and makes a conscious effort to understand causes instead of just the effects

    • Big picture aware: understands the scope and impact of a problem or solution

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

    Advertising data engineering jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

    New Data Engineering Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving the Data Revolution

    Data engineering is at the heart of the digital economy, transforming raw data into actionable insights, powering analytics, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure. As the UK and global markets continue to invest heavily in data platforms, pipelines, and real-time analytics, demand for skilled data engineers is growing rapidly. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk , the critical question is: which companies are expanding, hiring, and shaping the future of data-driven business? This article highlights new data engineering employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, scale-ups, and international firms expanding in the UK.

    How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

    If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.
