• Own the roadmap & technical strategy closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to scope and help teams deliver AI-powered features.
• Drive a culture of experimentation, applied research, and rigorous measurement—making sure we ship models that work in the real world.
• Lead / Grow / Coach developers on your team, help them develop new skills / experiences, advance their careers.
• Understand needs for your team and help enable every developer to contribute to the team's goals.
• Highlight the team’s impact with senior leadership.
• Recruit and mentor world-class AI / ML talent, building a high-performance team that can move fast and think big.

About you :

• 4+ years of engineering management experience with at least 2+ years leading high-performing AI / ML and / or applied science teams.
• Experience managing teams that include Fullstack Developers, AI / ML Developers and Data Scientists.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across technical and business functions.
• Knowledge of modern web development frameworks (React, Node.js) and API design.
• Familiarity with ML / LLM ecosystems (e.g. fine-tuning, RAG, prompt orchestration, vector DBs, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks).
• Strong product instincts—able to translate ambiguous problems into measurable experiments and data products.

Nice to have :

• Experience working in real-world domains like industrial systems, manufacturing, IoT, logistics, or asset management.
• Familiarity with time-series modeling, anomaly detection, sensor fusion, and real-time ML inference.
• Experience with cloud-based ML tooling (AWS, Databricks, etc.).

Why MaintainX?

This is a rare opportunity to bring cutting-edge ML / AI into one of the most impactful industries in the world. You won’t just be building models—you’ll be transforming how people operate machines, maintain assets, and make real-world decisions.
