Are you ready to shape the future of data?
Matillion is the company behind Maia, the AI Data Automation platform.
In the AI economy, demand for data is exploding. Manual data engineering can’t keep up. Maia fixes that by combining 15 years of data expertise with agentic AI to eliminate the manual work that slows data teams down. Organisations like Cisco, DocuSign, and Slack are already using it to deliver real business impact, faster.
We started in Manchester and now we’re global - with teams across the UK, US and India.
We are driven, curious, energetic people who move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high standard. We’re here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.
At Matillion, we are moving beyond traditional data processing to define the future of the AI Data Automation Platform. Our mission is to make data "AI-ready" at the speed of thought, centred around Maia - our autonomous AI data engineering foundation.
As a Frontend Engineer, you will build the interfaces that make that mission real, using React and an agentic-first mindset - working alongside AI tools like Claude not as a shortcut, but as an essential partner in how you engineer. You will own high-visibility features, act as a skilled validator of AI-generated code, and help set the bar for what "production-ready" means on our team.
This is a hybrid role based in Manchester, UK, with minimum 2 days a week in the office.
What you will be doing
- Build production React and TypeScript components for Maia and Maia Teams - clean, readable, built for your teammates to extend
- Run an agentic-first workflow: use GenAI tools daily to handle the repetitive work, so your time goes on architecture and hard logic
- Act as the human-in-the-loop - review, refactor and harden AI-suggested code against our security and performance bar
- Break epics into shippable increments and keep a steady flow of value through CI/CD
- Shape front-end architecture with your squad - component patterns, state management, the calls that outlast a single sprint
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we are looking for
- Professional experience shipping production React applications, with testable, well-documented code
- Daily hands-on use of AI coding tools, paired with the judgement to critically validate every output rather than trust it blind
- A structured, systematic approach to diagnosing and fixing issues in a frontend service
- Strong grasp of modern web security and self-documenting code practices
- Comfort across the full SDLC - Agile, CI/CD, version control - in a live production environment
At Matillion, we are committed to providing competitive salaries in line with market standards. Our estimated compensation range for this position is £47,200 to £70,800, but the final salary will be based on your relevant skills, experience and qualifications demonstrated in the hiring process.
