Montreal

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. 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.

We're growing fast and hiring the Engineering talent to match. You'd be joining our backend team within the Platform Engineering division. We're building an AI-native platform for our internal developers, over 150 of them, guided by a single question: does this shorten the time from idea to value, for the teams building on our platform and for the customers they ultimately serve?

We build the route that maximizes AI acceleration. You'll set the technical direction for how backend services get built, shipped, and operated across the engineering org — not just for one team. Shape the technical direction, governance and architecture of the backend platform Shape AI-native workflows into the platform itself, changing how the org builds services with developers and agents Proactively identify and drive resolution of cross-cutting technical challenges before they become delivery blockers, working across multiple engineering teams Influence roadmap priorities by framing trade-offs, surfacing opportunities, and driving alignment across engineering, product,



and analytics Mentor and elevate senior engineers through complex problems and architectural decisions Participate in the on-call rotation A robust AI-native mindset — you've brought AI-assisted workflows into a platform or org, not just your own workflow.

Deep expertise in distributed systems, demonstrated with experience making architectural decisions with long-term, cross-org, multi-year consequences Deep exposure across several of the platform's key domains: cloud (AWS), IaC infrastructure (Terraform/Atmos), CI/CD, GraphQL federation, Event driven systems, APIs, and developer experience Expert in Node.js, TypeScript, or similar languages, with a track record of setting standards others adopt. Demonstrated ability to frame ambiguous technical problems and drive them to resolution with minimal guidance Experience navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders and using data to demonstrate impact Strong technical judgment balanced with pragmatism: knows when to advocate for the right solution and when to move forward Expert-level English, spoken and written — you'll lead platform engineering managers across multiple teams and present technical priorities to executive stakeholders. Factories, fleets, hospitals and campuses stay up because the people who maintain them have tools worth using.

Depending on the role, compensation may also include commission, an annual bonus and equity. For roles in Canada and other countries, the plan differs on health coverage, retirement and leave, and your recruiter will walk you through it.
