Senior DevOps Engineer - Release Engineering

Matillion is The Data Productivity Cloud.

We are on a mission to power the data productivity of our customers and the world, by helping teams get data business ready, faster. Our technology allows customers to load, transform, sync and orchestrate their data.

We are looking for passionate, high-integrity individuals to help us scale up our growing business. Together, we can make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves.

With offices in the UK, US and Spain, we are now thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Hyderabad, India. This marks an exciting milestone in our global expansion, and we are now looking for talented professionals to join us as part of our founding team.

Role Purpose

Matillion is built around small development teams with responsibility for specific themes and initiatives. We are now looking for a Senior Staff Dev Ops Engineer to work in our Release Engineering team. This role is based in Hyderabad in India.

How do you release updates and changes to Matillion's platform that makes the world's data useful without users ever noticing a glitch in service? Our Release Engineering team takes on this very challenge, advocating for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure se are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer.

We look across Matillion to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems.

The Senior Staff Dev Ops Engineer for Release Engineering will sit alongside the Engineering Manager as the technical authority working with our Engineering and Product leaders to ensure our services and products seamlessly move from development all through into production. They will lead the technical direction for the team, and provide coaching and mentoring to other engineers. Outside the team they will share experience and best practices with other Senior Staff SRE and Software Engineers across Matillion.

We are looking for people who can explain very technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, carry out technical prioritisation and work well with colleagues in and outside of the team at all levels.

This is a technical role and will be hands on, but you will not be cutting code all day every day - you will have skills around architecture, design patterns, application hosting, build and deployment automation, development, testing and observability and use these to ensure our squads deliver software in a consistent and scalable way.

Another important aspect of this role is the procurement and management of datasource environments. These are used as test endpoints for the data connectors that Matillion builds. This role helps support the operational needs of the teams that utilize these endpoints – including management of accounts, roles, credentials, and test data.
