Job summary

MaintainX, a leading mobile-first work execution platform, is seeking a backend-focused software engineer to design, build, and operate public REST APIs for enterprise-scale integrations. You’ll implement authentication, rate limiting, versioning, and data migrations, while decoupling services from monoliths to boost reliability.

You’ll also contribute to CI/CD and developer docs, shipping robust, scalable API tooling.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional backend or platform development experience.
• Experience with service-oriented backend development in TypeScript, Go, or C#.
• Experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Strong testing mindset and CI/CD experience.
• Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Design, and customer-facing teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate MaintainX’s public-facing REST APIs with scalability and developer experience.
• Implement platform standards: authentication/authorization, rate limiting, versioning, filtering, pagination, idempotency, error semantics, and backwards compatibility.
• Design and implement robust batch and bulk API operations for high-volume data synchronization and enterprise migrations.
• Decouple the REST API layer from monolithic dependencies while implementing contract testing to protect REST stability.
• Build scaffolding, templates, and shared libraries for connector/integration development.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and quality gates for integrations and ecosystem services.
• Produce strong developer documentation and reference implementations (SDKs).
• Contribute to infrastructure and workflows for publishing integrations in marketplaces (e.g., Workato, Tray).
• Enable automation-driven onboarding flows (connection creation, credential management, environment configuration).
• Build standardized integration foundations for enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle EBS/NetSuite, Microsoft D365).
• Ensure integrations meet security, auditability, performance, and operability expectations.
• Own production services and platform components end-to-end: monitoring, on-call, incident response, root-cause analysis, iterative hardening.
• Drive performance tuning and reliability improvements based on data (SLIs/SLOs, logs, traces, metrics).

Job description

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.

In August 2026 MaintainX became part of Autodesk, joining Autodesk Operations Solutions, the organization unifying Autodesk's operations platform alongside Tandem, FlexSim and Fusion Operations. 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. Autodesk had design and make. Operate is the phase that tells you what actually happened, and it is ours.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and operate MaintainX’s public-facing REST APIs, with a focus on consistency, scalability, and great developer experience. Want to see what it currently looks like? Head over here!
• Implement platform standards and patterns: authentication/authorization, rate limiting, versioning, filtering, pagination, idempotency, error semantics, and backwards compatibility.
• Design and implement robust batch and bulk API operations that enable high-volume data synchronization and large-scale migration workflows for enterprise customers.
• Decouple the REST API layer from monolithic dependencies while implementing strong contract testing to ensure GraphQL changes do not impact REST API stability, improving overall reliability and iteration speed.
• Build scaffolding, templates, and shared libraries that make connector/integration development faster and more consistent.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and quality gates for integrations and ecosystem services.
• Produce strong developer documentation and reference implementations (For eg. SDKs).
• Contribute to the infrastructure and workflows that allows integrations to be published, versioned, and supported in our internal or external integrations marketplace (Eg. Workato, Tray).
• Enable automation-driven onboarding flows (e.g., connection creation, credential management, environment configuration).
• Build standardized integration foundations and reusable building blocks for enterprise systems (e.g., SAP recipes and BTP building blocks; productized Oracle EBS/NetSuite and Microsoft D365 integrations).
• Ensure integrations meet enterprise expectations around security, auditability, performance, and operability.
• Own production services and platform components end-to-end: monitoring, on-call, incident response, root-cause analysis, and iterative hardening.
• Drive performance tuning and reliability improvements based on data (SLIs/SLOs, logs, traces, and metrics).

About You

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend systems, APIs, or platform products (seniority flexible based on impact and scope).
• Strong experience with service-oriented backend development and one of the following languages (TypeScript, Go, C#) and willingness to learn other languages based on context.
• Strong experience working with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling.
• Solid foundation in distributed systems fundamentals: reliability, scalability, consistency, and failure modes.
• Experience shipping production-grade APIs and thinking deeply about developer experience and platform usability.
• Strong testing mindset (unit, integration, end to end and contract testing) and hands-on CI/CD experience.
• Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Design, and customer-facing teams, while keeping work centered on scalable product solutions (not one-off implementations).

Nice To Have

• Experience with integration ecosystems: API platforms, SDKs, iPaaS/connectors, marketplaces, webhooks/events, ETL/sync patterns.
• Familiarity with enterprise identity/security patterns (OAuth2/OIDC, API keys, token rotation, least privilege).
• Experience with ERP ecosystems (SAP S/4HANA or ECC 6, SAP BTP, Oracle EBS/NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics).
• Experience building self-serve admin/debug tooling for external developers/customers.
• Experience with Workato, Tray, or Zapier from a product/platform engineering perspective (e.g., building connectors, not just recipes, workflows, or zaps—though familiarity with those is valuable too).

What’s In It For You

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity opportunities.
• Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) / RRSP enrollment program.
• Take what you need PTO.
• A Work Culture where:
  • You’ll work alongside folks across the globe that reflect the MaintainX values: Smart Humble Optimists.
  • We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly celebrated.

Our mission is to keep the physical world running. Factories, fleets, hospitals and campuses stay up because the people who maintain them have tools worth using. That is what we build.
