Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- Some experience in a Cloud Operations, DevOps or SRE role supporting high-availability SaaS environments, with working familiarity of AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, EKS) and comfort reading and editing Terraform modules
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS) and Docker, plus the ability to write and maintain scripts in Python or Bash to automate routine operational tasks
- A sharp eye for cloud cost optimisation; you can read usage data, identify inefficiencies and translate findings into clear recommendations that guide real infrastructure decisions
- A genuine willingness to master AI-powered developer tools like Claude Code; you see AI as a productivity multiplier and you're not waiting to be told to use it
- Inquisitive, autonomous and detail-focused; you dig into root causes, not just symptoms, and you thrive working in a small, high-trust team where your contributions are visible
- 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. Alternatively, if you're interested in Matillion but don't see a suitable role, please email talent@matillion.com
What the job involves
- We're Matillion, and we're building the first AI Data Automation platform
- Our cloud infrastructure is the foundation everything runs on, and we need people who treat it that way
- As a Cloud Operations Analyst, you'll be a key contributor to the reliability, scalability and security of our cloud-native platforms, working closely with our Senior Cloud Analyst across AWS, GCP and Azure
- This is an individual contributor role at the intersection of Cloud Infrastructure, FinOps and SRE, where attention to detail and a bias for action matter every single day
- This isn't a ticket-closing role
- You'll be analysing performance, driving cost efficiency, owning FinOps governance and applying AI tooling to make yourself and the team faster and sharper
- If you're early in your cloud career but hungry to go deep, work with autonomy and build something that scales, this is the place to do it
- We value in person collaboration therefore this role follows our hybrid work pattern where we come together 2 days a week in our Manchester office
- Contributing to the design and implementation of Matillion's cloud infrastructure estate and Infrastructure as Code across AWS (primary), GCP and Azure, monitoring performance, supporting automated deployments and keeping cloud spend lean and efficient
- Taking ownership of FinOps governance; analysing cloud usage patterns, managing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, partnering with Finance and ensuring we scale without wasting a penny
- Implementing and auditing cloud security best practices across IAM, VPC configuration and encryption; maintaining our SOC2 and ISO 27001 standards and handling routine IAM requests with a least-privilege mindset
- Applying AI tooling to accelerate your workflows and sharing what you learn with the wider team; you're not just using AI, you're helping build a culture that knows how to use it well
- Contributing to a culture of documentation, continuous improvement and knowledge sharing; you spot inefficiencies, flag them and help fix them
