About the role

The Professional Services Engineer is a customer-embedded services delivery professional responsible for the deployment, implementation, and optimization of Maia Foundation platform, driving adoption, solving complex technical challenges, and enablement of Maia agentic AI capabilities. The PSE leads the technical deployment and implementation of the Maia Foundation platform by architecting production-grade integrations and distributed data systems that transform legacy ETL workflows into modern, autonomous data pipelines.

This role is based in Sydney, Australia. While the position is remote, we're looking for someone located in-region to support our customers and build our presence as the region becomes an increasingly important growth market for Matillion.

Own the deployment

Architect and implement production-grade integrations and distributed data systems for enterprise customers, using Python, SQL, and modern API development.

Modernise legacy data

Transform legacy ETL/ELT workflows into modern, autonomous data pipelines, working across cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP) and Kubernetes.

Build with AI, not just for it

Integrate AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) and use AI code generation tools to accelerate delivery and enable Maia's agentic capabilities.

Deliver at pace

Take technical solutions from kickoff to production within an 8-12 week Accelerator window, owning outcomes even when the path isn't straightforward.

Move between altitudes

Alternate between deep technical problem-solving and strategic alignment conversations with customer executives.

Delivery under pressure

Track record of completing migration and deployment outcomes to a defined timeline, working directly with customer stakeholders.
