Staff Forward Deployed Engineer

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.

The Staff Forward Deployed Engineer is the senior operator we put on our most significant and complex Maia rollouts and expansions. Working primarily remotely with our distributed teams and on-site when it counts, they own these engagements end to end, architecting and building production-grade solutions, modifying Matillion’s own product code where the platform needs it, and holding the highest engineering bar under real delivery pressure. A true force multiplier, they work at every level and across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success: earning technical wins, acting as a hands-on escalation point to Customer Success, and driving adoption and expansion in their accounts. They ship quickly and to standard in a low-friction way, turn their work into reusable assets and product feedback, and mentor the FDEs coming up behind them.
