Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineering & Development at matillion

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 • 5+ 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 At Matillion, we’re here to do something hard - change the way the world works with data, and build a great company along the way.
