Role

Who you are

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who views "manual effort" as a bug to be fixed
We need a proactive engineer who is obsessed with Kubernetes and Cloud infrastructure, but also has a visionary streak—someone eager to experiment with AI-driven operations (AIOps) to predict failures and automate responses
Kubernetes Power User: Extensive experience managing production-grade K8s environments, including ingress, service mesh, and container security
Cloud Infrastructure Expert: A deep understanding of cloud networking, storage, and compute services within a major provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
Proactive Mindset: An engineer who doesn't wait for a ticket; you naturally seek out system weaknesses and build solutions to strengthen them
AI Curiosity: An active interest in the AI landscape and a desire to leverage LLMs or machine learning to improve SRE workflows
Programming Literacy: Ideally experience with at least one language (such as Java, Python, Go, or Ruby) to bridge the gap between software engineering and operations
If you enjoy building self-healing systems and staying ahead of the tech curve, this is the place for you
We are keen to hear from prospective Matillioners, so even if you don't feel you match all the criteria please apply and a member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch

What the job involves

In this role, you won't just be keeping the lights on; you will be the architect of our system’s resilience
Engineering Reliability: Designing and implementing self-healing infrastructure using Kubernetes to maintain high uptime and system integrity
Scaling Cloud Ecosystems: Optimizing our cloud footprint (AWS/GCP/Azure) to ensure our platforms can handle rapid growth without breaking a sweat
Innovating with AI: Proactively identifying opportunities to integrate AI tools into our observability stack to automate incident detection and root-cause analysis
Eliminating Toil: Writing clean, efficient code to automate repetitive operational tasks, turning manual workflows into seamless "set and forget" processes
Defining Observability: Building advanced monitoring and alerting frameworks that provide deep insights into system health and performance

Our take

In order to make the world’s data more useful, Matillion offers a data integration and transformation platform. Essentially, the company turns raw data into an analytics-ready asset to help companies make better decisions. In 2025 it launched Maia, the industry’s first AI data automation platform.

As organisations search for ways to harness data for business intelligence, the market for Matillion’s offerings is expanding, and the company has assumed a forefront position. Its strong reputation has secured large enterprise clients like FOX, Sony, Slack and Cisco.

The company is well-funded and boasts a strong valuation, showing that it has cemented its place in the sector. With Maia, Matillion proves it is able to adapt to the evolving business data landscape, delivering expert AI agents that can handle time-consuming data work and free up teams to focus on delivering business goals faster.
