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

- 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**
