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.

About the role

We're Matillion, the company behind Maia. Maia is the first AI Data Automation platform that rethinks manual data work by autonomously creating, managing, and evolving data products for humans and AI agents at scale. Quality isn't an afterthought here; it's embedded into everything we ship. As a Staff Quality Engineer, you'll take a senior position within one of our small, focused engineering teams — bringing advanced technical guidance, deep hands-on expertise and a relentless drive to embed quality across the entire development lifecycle.

This is a leadership role as much as a technical one. You'll set the quality standard for the team, champion automation-first and shift-left testing methodologies, and play a pivotal role in shaping the overall quality journey across Matillion's Engineering department. If you believe quality is everyone's responsibility and you have the experience to prove it — we want to hear from you.

Matillion operates on a hybrid basis, with us coming together 2 days a week in our Manchester office to collaborate and drive our mission forward.

Leading and overseeing the testing of Matillion products — hands-on in the work while mentoring and guiding junior engineers to raise the bar across the team

Designing and driving robust quality frameworks that span automation, security, accessibility and performance testing — with an automation-first mindset at the core

Championing shift-left testing across the development lifecycle, embedding quality from design through to deployment via CI/CD pipelines

Taking a leadership role in cross-functional collaboration — building a culture of quality excellence and elevating standards across the wider Engineering organisation

Identifying areas for improvement in the quality journey, driving continuous iteration and playing an active role in talent acquisition and team development

Proven expertise in end-to-end testing of SaaS applications across complex distributed systems — including risk-based, exploratory, regression, security and usability testing approaches

Deep hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks (Cypress, Pact or equivalent), with strong proficiency in Java or JavaScript and a solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines

Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP or Azure) and advanced knowledge of databases and SQL

A genuine QA mindset — you challenge norms, push back when quality is being compromised and continuously improve how the team works

Autonomy and inquisitiveness in equal measure — you dig into problems independently, understand causes not just effects, and bring a growth mindset to everything you do

At Matillion, we are committed to providing compensation in line with market standards based on the role, job family, job level and country. This role’s estimated annual salaried pay range for this position is £66,000 - £99,000. The final salary will be based on your relevant skills, experience, and qualifications demonstrated in the hiring process.
