• 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
• 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

Benefits

• Flexible time off
• Training and development investments
• Competitive salary and equity opportunities
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage- 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
• 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
• Experience leading a Testing Frameworks, Quality Engineering, or Developer Productivity platform function
• 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years in engineering leadership, including 2+ years managing managers across multiple teams
• Familiarity with CMMS, IoT, or industrial SaaS domains
• Hands-on history scaling developer platforms through rapid headcount growth (Series D+)
