Director Of Field Engineering

Ready to shape the future of data?

Matillion is the intelligent data integration platform. We're changing how the world works with data – and we need driven, curious people who think big and move fast.

We built the Data Productivity Cloud to supercharge data productivity, and now we're shaping the future of data engineering with Maia – our AI-powered virtual data engineers that help teams design, build, and manage data pipelines at unmatched speed.

Join #TeamGreen, where the mission comes first, collaboration drives us forward, and everyone pulls in the same direction to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves.

We're building something that doesn't exist anywhere else: the first true agentic AI solution for data teams. And we need someone to lead the technical engine that turns curiosity into contracts.

As Director of Field Engineering, you'll lead a team of Solution Architects who do one thing exceptionally well—show customers exactly how Matillion eliminates the data bottlenecks stalling their AI projects. We're talking 40 hours of data engineering collapsed into one hour. That's not marketing speak. That's what we deliver.

Your job? Build a Field Engineering function that operates at speed, scales with our explosive growth trajectory, and turns technical conversations into commercial wins. You're not just translating features—you're translating business outcomes. You're showing the C-suite why data bottlenecks are killing their AI ROI, and how we fix it.
