The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to lead the API Platform and Ecosystem team at one of the fastest-growing companies in industrial technology. You’ll guide the engineering group responsible for powering how customers, partners, integrators, and third-party developers interact with MaintainX.

In this role, you will shape and scale the core systems that enable our global ecosystem—from our public API and developer platform to third-party applications, ERP integrations, and BI connectors. You won’t just manage engineers; you’ll influence how the world connects to MaintainX and unlock new business value through data, automation, and interoperability.

If you’re passionate about building robust platforms, enabling partner innovation, and crafting high-quality interfaces used by thousands of developers and enterprises, this is your chance to make an outsized impact.

Join us in shaping the future of industrial operations—one work order, one asset, one team at a time.
