Company mission
To empower data teams to build and manage pipelines faster for AI and analytics - at scale.
Role
Who you are
- A foundation in software engineering — a degree, bootcamp, or self-taught background. We care about what you can do, not how you learned it
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, ideally Java
- Genuine curiosity about AI and how it is changing what engineering looks like. You can showcase examples of experimenting and integrating AI into how you work
- The ability to think independently and push through ambiguity
- A desire to grow fast in a team that will challenge you every day
What the job involves
- We have a fantastic new opportunity for an Associate Software Engineer to join the team. This is not a role where you will sit in the background waiting for permission to contribute. From day one you will be writing real code, solving real problems, and working alongside engineers who challenge each other to be better every day
- If you are at the start of your engineering career and want to work somewhere that moves fast, builds boldly, and takes AI seriously — this is your role
- Writing clean, tested, production-ready code across our platform
- Working in an agile engineering team — sprints, standups, code reviews, and real delivery
- Solving technical problems that directly impact our customers' ability to work with data
- Using AI tools actively in your workflow — to research, to build, to move faster
- Learning from engineers around you and contributing your own perspective from day one
- Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. We hire for potential, not just experience
Application process
- Stage 1 — Screening
- A short 20-minute AI-powered conversation you can complete on your own schedule. It’s an opportunity to share more about yourself beyond your CV to help us understand how you can add value - your approach to problems, and your interest in the role. It's also an opportunity to learn more about Matillion and the role. A human recruiter reviews every response — AI does not make hiring decisions here. If you’d prefer not to complete the AI interview, let us know and we’ll arrange a time for a recruiter to call you
- Stage 2 — Technical Test
- A practical exercise designed to assess how you think and how you build. You are encouraged to use AI tools — we want to see how you use them. We will tell you exactly what to expect in advance
- Stage 3 — Team Interview
- A conversation with your future manager and a member of the engineering team. We will go deeper on your technical thinking, how you approach problems, and how you work with others. We'll also explore how you’ll positively contribute towards our culture and values. This is opportunity for you to meet the team and understand the day in the life of a Matillion Engineer
- Stage 4 — Offer
- A transparent breakdown of salary, equity, and benefits — everything you need to make the right decision
- We aim to move quickly. You will hear from us within 7 days of your application
