This is more than a coding role – it’s an opportunity to tackle complex challenges at scale, work with a talented and driven team, and help shape how we do engineering as we grow. You'll be working in the heart of our platform – contributing to our core application and plugin ecosystem – and making a meaningful impact on hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

• Help evolve how we work – improving our engineering practices, processes, and standards.
• Take initiative in shaping solutions, identifying risks early, and driving delivery forward.
• As our company grows, help define what great engineering looks like at Matomo.
