We’re looking for a Senior AI Platform Engineer to build the shared systems that enable teams across MaintainX to ship AI-powered products reliably at scale. You will design and operate internal services that standardize how AI workloads run in production, with clear abstractions, safe defaults, and strong observability.

• Integrate LLMs and AI tool execution into reliable, production-ready workflows.
• Own production reliability for AI platform infrastructure through observability, alerting, and incident response.
• Improve performance and cost efficiency of AI runtimes through profiling, tuning, and capacity planning.
• Contribute to shared infra: CI/CD, observability, deployments

About you:

• 5+ years of experience in Python backend engineering + systems design experience.
• Experience shipping AI-powered or LLM-integrated backend systems.
• Comfort working across multiple layers (services, data, infrastructure, AI tooling).
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) and IaC (Terraform/Pulumi).
• Experience with distributed systems and asynchronous processing.
• Have familiarity with AI or data-heavy services where reliability and cost matter at scale.

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:
