Job Level

About the role

  • 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

Requirements

  • 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
