MaintainX is the world leading mobile-first workflow management platform for industrial and frontline workers. We are a modern IoT enabled cloud based tool for maintenance, safety, and operations on equipment and facilities. MaintainX powers operational excellence for 12,000+ businesses including Duracell, Univar Solutions Inc., Titan America, McDonalds, Brenntag, Cintas, Michaels, and Shell. We recently completed a $150 million Series D round, bringing our total funding to $254 million and valuing the company at $2.5 billion.



 

What You'll Do:


  • Design and build MaintainX’s end-to-end search and retrieval platform — from indexing pipelines and ranking systems to AI-facing query layers.

  • Partner with product and domain experts to model search across core entities like work orders, assets, and procedures, ensuring high-relevance results.

  • Ship fast, iterate fast, launch early versions, gather feedback, and improve rapidly.

  • Operate and optimize distributed systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability under real-world load.

  • Drive architectural decisions, balancing correctness, performance, and long-term maintainability.

  • Own integrations between search systems and upstream data sources.

  • Explore semantic search, vector retrieval, and AI-enhanced relevance using modern ML tooling.

  • On-call duties (currently business hours)



About You:


  • Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating production-grade search systems end-to-end — including indexing, query execution, relevance tuning, and infrastructure — using technologies such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Lucene, Solr, or similar.

  • Understanding of embeddings, chunking, and retrieval strategies.

  • Familiarity with search-specific tuning: analyzers, BM25, shard sizing, cluster health, and relevance optimization.

  • Comfort taking systems from implementation to deployment and production operation, working across backend services, data pipelines, and integration points as needed.



Nice to Have:


  • Experience evaluating and improving search relevance using both qualitative analysis and quantitative metrics.

  • Experience shipping AI-powered or LLM-integrated backend systems

  • Comfortable using modern AI tools like GPT, Copilot, or Cursor to boost productivity and streamline development.

  • Understanding of multi-tenancy and data security, including ACLs, field-level access controls, and secure index partitioning.

  • Experience building observability and success metrics into systems to monitor performance, usage, and impact.



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 deliver one platform for maintenance, repair & operations teams to keep the physical world running. We believe the greatest asset in any organization is the people. That’s why we built an intuitive, mobile-first solution to help boost productivity and collaboration across teams and locations.
