AI Platform Engineer: Reproducible Dev Environments

MaintainX; Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 130,000 - 236,000; Full time

Job summary

MaintainX is seeking an engineer to own the AI agent infrastructure that underpins our internal tooling. You will build and operate isolated dev environments, agent orchestration, and an MCP tool registry to empower internal systems with capable agents.

You will ensure reproducible environments across dev, CI, and agent domains, integrate agents with internal/external tools, and instrument runs with OpenTelemetry for observable AI pipelines.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in platform development, developer experience, or infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools and agentic workflows.
• Strong knowledge of containers and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, Python, or similar.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate the full agent infrastructure stack: isolated dev environments, agent orchestration, and the MCP tool registry that gives agents to internal systems.
• Design and maintain reproducible developer environments, ensuring dev, CI, and agent environments are identical by construction.
• Integrate agents with internal and external tooling so agents can be triggered from anywhere and agents have the context they need to act.
• Instrument agent runs with OpenTelemetry to produce traces of tool invocations, CI outcomes, and failure points, turning AI pipelines from black boxes into observable systems.
• Establish standards for MCP tool development and agent configuration sharing so teams can author capabilities once and reuse them across repos.
• Collaborate with product and platform teams as internal customers, running enablement, demos, and office hours to drive adoption of the agent platform.
