MaintainX; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 130,000 - 236,000; Full time

Job summary

MaintainX is expanding a dedicated team to accelerate how developers build and ship software with AI. You will own the infrastructure that enables autonomous coding agents, from reproducible dev environments to agent orchestration and observability.

As a senior contributor, you will integrate agents with internal and external tools, ensure CI/CD parity, and set standards for tool development across repos. Collaboration with product and platform teams is key to driving adoption of the agent

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in platform development, developer experience, or infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools and a focus on agentic workflows.
• Strong working knowledge of containerization and CI/CD pipelines.
• Comfortable with Node.js, TypeScript, Python, or similar.
• Bonus: you've already shipped an agent integration to production.

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.
