Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineering & Development

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.

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

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.

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
