Embed Python in a MEX an tell your employer you do MEX development.  
Works like a charm ;-)

Or use Matlab's COM integration to run pywin32 as an ActiveX. Or use  
Matlab's JVM to run Jython. Just be creative, remember that employers'  
HR managers care a lot about buzzword compliance, as they don't  
understand the technology themselves.
