Manual data engineering can't keep up. Maia fixes that by combining 15 years of data expertise with agentic AI to eliminate the manual work that slows data teams down. Organisations like Cisco, DocuSign, and Slack are already using it to deliver real business impact, faster. We started in Manchester and now we're global - with teams across the UK, US and India. We are driven, curious, energetic people who move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high standard. We're here to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves. And we're looking for people who want to be part of it. At Matillion, we are moving beyond traditional data processing to define the future of the AI Data Automation Platform. Our mission is to make data "AI-ready" at the speed of thought, centred around Maia - our autonomous AI data engineering foundation. As a Frontend Engineer, you will build the interfaces that make that mission real, using React and an agentic-first mindset - working alongside AI tools like Claude not as a shortcut, but as an essential partner in how you engineer. You will own high-visibility features, act as a skilled validator of AI-generated code, and help set the bar for what "production-ready" means on our team. This is a hybrid role based in Manchester, UK, with minimum 2 days a week in the office. What you will be doing * Build production React and TypeScript components for Maia and Maia Teams - clean, readable, built for your teammates to extend. * Run an agentic-first workflow: use GenAI tools daily to handle the repetitive work, so your time goes on architecture and hard logic. * Act as the human-in-the-loop - review, refactor and harden AI-suggested code against our security and performance bar. * Break epics into shippable increments and keep a steady flow of value through CI/CD. * Shape front-end architecture with your squad - component patterns, state management, the calls that outlast a single sprint. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Leading Through Stagility: Human Capital Trends That Redefine Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1717-leading-through-stagility-human-capital-trends-that-redefine-work) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Frontend Developer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/233-frontend-developer-salary-in-the-uk) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Dev Digest 159: AI Pipelines, 10x Faster TypeScript, How to Interview](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/563-dev-digest-159-ai-pipelines-10x-faster-typescript-how-to-interview)
