📋 Description

• Architecting strategic data solutions by designing reference architectures, building complex data pipelines and models across cloud platforms, and guiding customers through to production. • Solving high-complexity engineering problems by remaining a hands-on contributor to the Matillion codebase and tackling the toughest technical challenges. • Establishing function-wide technical standards by setting the engineering, architecture, and quality benchmarks that the entire Forward Deployed Engineering practice operates by. • Delivering pragmatic customer outcomes by questioning initial requirements, scoping solutions down to valuable MVPs, and eliminating systemic failure modes before they occur. • Advising executive leadership by building trusted relationships with VPs and CTOs and acting as the primary escalation authority for business-critical accounts. • Empowering customer self-sufficiency by training internal champions and delivering clear documentation so customer teams can independently maintain and extend the solutions. • Partnering with pre-sales and driving expansion by serving as the technical authority in high-stakes deals to support account growth alongside Sales without carrying a commission quota. • Influencing the core product strategy by identifying repeating delivery patterns and working directly with Product and Engineering leadership to turn custom fixes into platform features.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of production-grade software engineering experience in object-oriented languages (preferably Java), with deep expertise in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, or GCP. • Strong background in cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, and Google BigQuery, paired with a solid foundation in data architecture and networking. • Proven ability to define reference architectures, establish engineering standards, enforce code quality, and lead large-scale codebase refactoring. • Adoption of an agentic-first approach to software delivery, leveraging AI tools as quality multipliers, with hands-on experience in production LLMs, RAG, and AI agents valued. • Executive presence and customer empathy, acting as a trusted advisor to VP and CTO-level stakeholders while building long-term executive relationships. • Sound engineering judgment in highly ambiguous, high-stakes environments, enabling clear architectural decisions under pressure. • Ability to drive cross-functional change and influence technical strategy across teams without relying on direct authority. • Track record of delivering transformational technical impact for complex enterprise customers, guiding engagements from initial MVP through to full production. • Founder mentality characterized by strong ownership, drive, a bias for action, and the ability to convert emerging technologies into clear customer value. • Commitment to customer self-sufficiency through structured documentation, team training, and handoff frameworks that allow clients to maintain and extend their systems.
