Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- 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
- If you believe quality is everyone's responsibility and you have the experience to prove it — we want to hear from 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
- 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
- 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
