About The Position

MaintainX is a leading mobile-first work execution platform for industrial and frontline teams. More than 13,000 customers use MaintainX to cut unplanned downtime and run better operations. In August 2026, MaintainX became part of Autodesk, joining Autodesk Operations Solutions. Autodesk's strategy is to converge design, make and operate into one continuous lifecycle. Operate is the phase that tells you what actually happened, and it is ours.

Requirements

• 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 Haves

• 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).

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate MaintainX’s public-facing REST APIs, with a focus on consistency, scalability, and great developer experience.
• 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).

Benefits

• Base pay is one part of the package.
• 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.
• For roles in Canada and other countries, the plan differs on health coverage, retirement and leave, and your recruiter will walk you through it.
