MaintainX median: 33 days open

The posting

MaintainX is a leading mobile-first work execution platform for industrial and frontline teams. More than 13,000 customers, including Duracell, McDonald's, Shell, DHL and Volvo, use MaintainX to cut unplanned downtime and run better operations, across 13.9 million managed assets and 79.5 million completed work orders.

In August 2026 MaintainX became part of Autodesk, joining Autodesk Operations Solutions https://adsknews.autodesk.com/en/views/inside-autodesk-operations-solutions/, the organization unifying Autodesk's operations platform alongside Tandem, FlexSim and Fusion Operations. Autodesk's strategy is to converge design, make and operate into one continuous lifecycle: design an asset, build it, run it, then feed what you learn running it back into the next design. Autodesk had design and make. Operate is the phase that tells you what actually happened, and it is ours.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an Engineering Director to lead MaintainX's Platform division. Platform owns the seven foundational teams every product engineer builds on: AI Builder, DevOps, Compliance, Testing Frameworks, Backend Frameworks, Mobile Frameworks, and SRE. This is a manager-of-managers role for someone who wants to define how a high-growth engineering org operates at scale.

What You’ll Do:

- Own the roadmap and operating model for Platform Engineering: set division-level priorities, manage cross-team dependencies, and translate business goals into multi-quarter platform investments.

- Lead and develop a team of Software Development Managers - coaching on people development, technical judgment, and organizational effectiveness across seven teams.

- Set the engineering standards every product team depends on: framework conventions, reliability targets, compliance posture, and CI/CD health.

- Drive MaintainX's AI-native platform strategy - the AI Builder team's agent orchestration, tool registry, and developer environments sit in this division; your job is to ensure the org extracts real leverage from them.

- Own division-level reliability: SLO definitions, incident response frameworks, on-call health, and the systemic path from incident to prevention.

- Partner with the CTO and peer engineering leaders on org design, architectural decisions, and headcount planning.

- Represent Platform Engineering to the business — translating infrastructure investment into engineering velocity, developer experience, and customer trust.

- An expert level of English, both spoken and written, is required, as the individual will need to lead platform engineering managers across multiple teams, present technical priorities to executive stakeholders, and align with engineering leaders outside Québec on a daily basis.

About You:

- 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years in engineering leadership, including 2+ years managing managers across multiple teams.

- Technical depth in at least two of: distributed systems, backend or mobile frameworks, platform engineering, reliability engineering - credible enough to make hard hiring decisions and engage in architecture reviews.

- Track record of owning platform or infrastructure-focused teams at a growth-stage B2B SaaS company, with demonstrated impact on engineering velocity.

- AI-forward: you set direction for teams building on LLMs and agentic workflows, and you hold your org to an AI-native standard.

- Systems thinker who identifies organizational bottlenecks and eliminates them without creating new ones — you design teams, not just manage them.

- Strong communicator who can represent platform complexity and tradeoffs clearly to product, finance, and executive stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

- Experience leading a Testing Frameworks, Quality Engineering, or Developer Productivity platform function.

- Hands-on history scaling developer platforms through rapid headcount growth (Series D+).

- Familiarity with CMMS, IoT, or industrial SaaS domains.

Our mission is to keep the physical world running. Factories, fleets, hospitals and campuses stay up because the people who maintain them have tools worth using. That is what we build.

Compensation and benefits. Base pay is one part of the package. Depending on the role, compensation may also include commission, an annual bonus and equity. Benefits differ by country. For roles in the United States, Autodesk’s benefits are described at benefits.autodesk.com http://benefits.autodesk.com. For roles in Canada and other countries, the plan differs on health coverage, retirement and leave, and your recruiter will walk you through it.

Belonging. We take pride in a culture where everyone can thrive. More at autodesk.com/company/global-belonging http://autodesk.com/company/global-belonging. More on where this is going: Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost on building the future of connected operations, and AOS SVP Stephen Hooper on welcoming MaintainX to Autodesk.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
