## 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](https://adsknews.autodesk.com/en/views/inside-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. The Opportunity: This is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of AI-powered developer tooling at one of the most impactful industrial software companies in the world. You won't just be managing platform engineers, you'll help transform how every MaintainX engineer writes, ships, and maintains software through autonomous coding agents and infrastructure. We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead our newly formed AI Builder Tools team. This lean, high-autonomy, focused team has one mandate: make every MX engineer more productive through agentic tooling across the software development lifecycle — starting with autonomous coding agents that can take a ticket, implement the change, and open a pull request with with minimal hand-holding. Join us in shaping the future of how software gets built—one agent, one PR, one software developer at a time.

What You’ll Do:

- Manage a team of platform engineers, driving delivery, quality, and innovation on our agentic SDLC platform.
- Partner with Engineering Leadership and Platform teams to scope, plan, and deliver the infrastructure that powers autonomous coding agents across MaintainX.
- Lead, mentor, and grow your developers—helping them build new skills in agent frameworks, developer tooling, and platform engineering.
- Set clear expectations, provide ongoing feedback, and support the team in achieving goals.
- Champion software development excellence—ensuring strong CI/CD pipelines, containerized environments, observability, and agent orchestration practices.
- Provide visibility into team impact, progress, and risks to senior leadership—including agent-produced PR rates, adoption metrics, and quality guardrails.
- Collaborate with Recruiting and other Software Development Managers to hire, onboard, and scale a world-class platform engineering organization.

About You:

- 4+ years of Software Development management experience with proven success leading platform, DevEx, or infrastructure teams.
- Strong technical foundation in developer tooling, CI/CD, containerization, and distributed systems.
- Demonstrated experience in technical design, problem-solving, and project management
- Passion for hiring, coaching, and developing diverse platform engineering teams.
- Familiarity with LLM agent frameworks, MCP tooling, or agentic coding infrastructure is a strong differentiator.
- Excellent communication skills - you can distill complex ideas and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Bonus: you've shipped an AI coding agent or contributed to a DevEx/platform initiative that measurably improved engineering throughput.

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. Compensation and benefits. Base pay is one part of the package. Depending on the role, compensation may also include commission, an annual bonus and equity. Benefits differ by country. For roles in the United States, Autodesk’s benefits are described at [benefits.autodesk.com](http://benefits.autodesk.com). For roles in Canada and other countries, the plan differs on health coverage, retirement and leave, and your recruiter will walk you through it. Belonging. We take pride in a culture where everyone can thrive. More at [autodesk.com/company/global-belonging](http://autodesk.com/company/global-belonging). More on where this is going: Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost on building the future of connected operations, and AOS SVP Stephen Hooper on welcoming MaintainX to Autodesk.
