Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- Expert-level React and TypeScript — deep understanding of component architecture, state management, event-driven architectures, test strategies, and performance optimisation at scale
- Proven ability to lead the design and delivery of significant frontend projects in a SaaS product environment, including cross-team strategic efforts like Design Systems or micro-frontends
- Deep proficiency in agentic development — AI tools are already part of your daily engineering workflow, not something you're exploring
- Strong experience designing modular, testable frontend systems capable of supporting complex, AI-driven user workflows, with a solid grasp of frontend security best practices
- A strategic, economically-minded thinker who can zoom out to the organisational level, influence decisions, and balance long-term maintainability with delivery velocity
What the job involves
- The Senior Staff Engineer (Frontend) is a high-leverage technical leader responsible for driving architectural excellence across our React-powered ecosystem
- The web UI is where Maia's power is harnessed, visualised, and controlled
- This role is the technical authority responsible for ensuring our frontend is as sophisticated and performant as the AI it commands
- This role partners with the Senior Staff community to lead organisational "big bets" — including the evolution of our Design System, the expansion of our micro-frontend architecture, and ensuring our platform performs at a global scale
- It sits at the intersection of technical craft, product vision, and organisational influence
- You'll lead the frontend architectural vision for our React-powered platform — defining scalable patterns, standards, and practices across multiple product squads
- Own the Design System strategy and micro-frontend architecture, driving consistency, modularity, and long-term scalability across our product surfaces
- Champion an agentic development culture — integrating AI tools into daily engineering workflows and staying ahead of the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to align frontend strategy with the Maia platform roadmap, validating architectural proposals before full-scale development
- Develop engineering capability across squads through coaching, structured feedback, and leading by example on Matillion's engineering values
