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. As a Frontend Engineer on our team, you will play a vital role in building the responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces that power our Data Productivity Cloud using React. We are looking for an engineer who is excited to embrace an agentic-first mindset—viewing AI-powered developer tools like Claude, Gemini, or Cursor not just as shortcuts, but as essential partners in accelerating the entire development lifecycle. In this role, you will move beyond routine engineering to tackle high-visibility features within our Manchester-based hybrid team. You will handle the natural evolution of projects with confidence, acting as a skilled validator of new technologies and AI-generated solutions. This is an opportunity for a developer who values high-quality React code and is eager to ensure every feature we ship is secure, scalable, and provides a seamless user experience. This is a hybrid role based in Manchester, UK, with minimum 2 days a week in the office. What You’ll Do:

React Feature Engineering: Develop and maintain production-ready UI components using React and TypeScript, prioritizing code that is clean, readable, and easily understood by your peers.

Agentic-First Development: Integrate GenAI tools into your daily workflow to automate repetitive tasks, significantly increasing your development velocity and focusing your energy on complex logic and architecture.

Quality Assurance & AI Validation: Act as a diligent "human-in-the-loop" by reviewing, refactoring, and perfecting AI-suggested code to ensure it aligns with our high standards for security and performance.

Incremental Delivery: Successfully break down larger epics into manageable tasks, ensuring a consistent flow of value through continuous integration.

Collaborative Design: Contribute to front-end architecture discussions, helping to define component patterns and state management strategies within your squad.

Operational Excellence: Use observability data to monitor your services and proactively suggest front-end performance enhancements.

Comprehensive Testing: Write robust unit and integration tests for React components, ensuring reliability across the "happy path" as well as complex edge cases.

What We’re Looking For:

React & Modern Frontend: Professional experience delivering web applications with React; you take pride in writing testable code and using effective documentation to help others.

AI Literacy: Experience using AI-powered tools as a daily copilot to solve technical challenges, paired with a commitment to the critical validation of all technical outputs.

Systematic Problem Solving: A proven ability to use a structured approach to diagnose and resolve issues within a frontend service or application.

Thoughtful Software Design: Experience designing functions and components that fit into a broader service architecture while maintaining clean abstractions.

SDLC Expertise: Familiarity with the full software development lifecycle, including Agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and version control.

Security & Quality Focus: A strong understanding of modern web security and a habit of writing self-documenting code that stands the test of time.

Clear Communication: The ability to explain technical React concepts clearly and concisely, combined with active listening skills that foster team alignment.

Product Awareness: A solid understanding of the business context behind your work, with a natural drive to simplify designs for a better end-user experience.
