The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Software Development Manager to lead MaintainX's Platform division — 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.

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.

 

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity opportunities.
• Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) / RRSP enrollment program.
• Take what you need PTO.
• A Work Culture where:
• You’ll work alongside folks across the globe that reflect the MaintainX values: Smart Humble Optimists.
• We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly celebrated.
