Product Designer in Manchester

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.

Design at Matillion is about balancing curiosity and a genuine love for innovation with real care for detail and craft. We’re looking for a Product Designer to help shape and evolve Maia. This is a role where you’ll take ownership of meaningful product areas while collaborating closely with senior designers, product managers, and engineers. You’ll work on experiences that make complex data engineering workflows clearer and more intuitive, helping teams design, build and manage data pipelines with the support of intelligent AI agents. You’ll also help explore and refine new interaction patterns for how humans collaborate with AI in a space where very few standards exist today. This role offers meaningful ownership, room to grow and the opportunity to develop your craft while working on complex, high-impact problems that genuinely move the business forward. If you’re a maker at heart, always exploring new ideas and excited by the future of AI-enabled experiences, this could be the perfect place for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing end-to-end experiences across research, exploration, prototyping, testing and high-fidelity delivery
• Translating complex technical workflows and AI behaviours into clear, trustworthy and intuitive interactions
• Using data, behavioural psychology and experimentation to test assumptions and understand what actually drives user value
• Collaborating closely with Product and Engineering to explore opportunities and deliver thoughtful, high-quality work
• Balancing rapid experimentation with scalable, long-term solutions and learning when to move fast and when to dig deeper
• Contributing to a positive, inclusive and collaborative team culture where feedback, curiosity and continuous improvement are valued

What we are looking for:

• 3-5 years of experience solving complex problems in fast-paced SaaS environments
• A genuine interest in AI-driven experiences and emerging interaction patterns
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong end-to-end problem solving and clear reasoning, paired with sharp visual and interaction design skills and a commitment to high-quality work
• The confidence to independently own projects as the definitive voice of Product Design, backed by the excellent communication skills needed to collaborate across cross‑functional teams
• Energy and enthusiasm for the discipline. Skills can be learned, but attitude matters. We’re looking for people who genuinely love design and naturally find themselves thinking about ideas, problems and experiences even outside of work
