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
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
Perks Flexible time off
Competitive salary and equity opportunities




Training and development investments
Comprehensive healthcare coverage
Qualifications 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
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
10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years in engineering leadership, including 2+ years managing managers across multiple teams
Strong communicator who can represent platform complexity and tradeoffs clearly to product, finance, and executive stakeholders
Hands-on history scaling developer platforms through rapid headcount growth (Series D+)
Experience leading a Testing Frameworks, Quality Engineering, or Developer Productivity platform function
Familiarity with CMMS, IoT, or industrial SaaS domains
