[Hiring] Director of Engineering Productivity and Operations @Matillion

Role Description

We're looking for a Director of Engineering Productivity & Operations to lead how our engineering organisation builds, delivers and operates the Maia platform. You'll own the strategy and execution behind our engineering productivity agenda, including the evolution of our software development lifecycle towards an increasingly agentic model, alongside the operational disciplines that keep engineering efficient.

• Setting and leading the engineering productivity strategy, driving the move towards an agentic software delivery model across planning, coding, testing, review and deployment.
• Owning the roadmap for shared engineering platforms and delivery capabilities, including CI/CD, release automation, observability and the developer experience.
• Running the engineering operating rhythm and a trusted metrics framework, giving leadership clear visibility of delivery, quality, reliability and cost.
• Leading engineering FinOps and cloud cost optimisation, working with your CloudOps analysts to build forecasting, accountability and sustainable savings.
• Managing the engineering tooling portfolio end to end, including vendor evaluation, contract negotiation and renewals, in partnership with Finance, Procurement, Legal and Security.

Qualifications

• Significant engineering leadership experience in SaaS, cloud platform, DevOps, developer experience, SRE or engineering productivity organisations.
• A practical understanding of AI-assisted and agentic software development, ideally having led a team that builds AI agents or tooling for engineers, or a genuine drive to learn it fast.
• Experience running engineering operations, with a track record of measuring productivity through outcomes rather than activity.
• Hands-on experience with cloud cost management, vendor and contract management, and technical procurement.
• Excellent communication and sound commercial judgement, with the ability to influence engineering, finance and executive stakeholders.
