Senior Product Designer - AI Data Pipelines in Manchester

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.

About the Role

We're Matillion, and we're building Maia, our agentic AI platform that helps data teams design, build and manage pipelines faster and with far less manual effort. Design at Matillion is about balancing curiosity and a genuine love for innovation with real care for detail and craft. For Product Design, this is a rare opportunity to shape how humans collaborate with AI to solve genuinely complex technical problems. As a Senior Product Designer, you'll own critical product areas, drive strategic design direction and work at the intersection of AI and data engineering; a space where very few interaction standards exist yet. This is meaningful ownership, high-impact craft and a chance to help define what the future of AI-enabled experiences looks like.

We value in person collaboration here, therefore this role will ideally follow our hybrid pattern of 2 days a week in our innovative Manchester office. However, we can be flexible for the right person.

What you will be doing

• Leading end-to-end design across discovery, definition, prototyping, testing and high-fidelity delivery; owning your product areas from problem framing through to shipped solutions.
• Translating complex AI behaviours and technical workflows into interactions that feel clear, trustworthy and genuinely intuitive for data teams.
• Defining and evolving new interaction patterns for human–AI collaboration in emerging, undefined spaces where you're writing the rulebook.
• Partnering closely with Product and Engineering in a tight trio - shaping how solutions come to life and ensuring seamless connection between intent and execution.
• Raising the bar for design quality and systems thinking across the team, while actively contributing to a stronger, more mature Product Design culture at Matillion.

What we are looking for

• Demonstrable experience designing complex products in fast-paced SaaS environments, with a proven track record of owning and delivering high-impact product areas independently.
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates clear end-to-end thinking, sharp problem solving and high-quality execution, not just beautiful screens.
• Experience working on complex systems, technical workflows or data-heavy products; you're comfortable in the weeds and energised by it.
• A genuine curiosity about AI-driven experiences and emerging interaction paradigms; you don't wait for the standards to exist, you help create them.
• The confidence to influence senior stakeholders, represent Design at the table and balance big-picture vision with meticulous attention to detail.

At Matillion, we are committed to providing compensation in line with market standards based on the role, job family, job level and country. This role’s estimated annual salaried pay range for this position is £58,000 - £87,000. The final salary will be based on your relevant skills, experience, and qualifications demonstrated in the hiring process.
