Software Development Manager

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, 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 role

We're looking for multiple Software Development Managers to lead one of our engineering teams. Whichever team you land on, you're the person who turns a roadmap into shipped, reliable software: you'll manage 5 to 6 developers, own delivery and quality for your team's area, and make the calls that keep a group of builders moving without losing the craft.

This is a single hiring pipeline across our product and platform teams. On the product side, that could mean teams like Asset Lifecycle or Reporting, the systems behind work orders, assets, and scheduling that customers touch daily. On the platform side, it could mean teams like Search or IAM, the shared services and infrastructure the product teams build on.

What you'll do

• Manage a team of 5 to 6 developers: own their delivery, quality, and day-to-day priorities.

• Partner with Product Managers and Designers to scope, plan, and deliver against a high bar for reliability.

• Coach and grow your developers: help them build skills, navigate hard problems, and plan their next career step.

• Set clear expectations and give ongoing feedback, so your team always knows where it stands.

• Champion CI/CD, code quality, and observability practices across your team's systems.

• Give senior leadership visibility into your team's impact, progress, and risk.

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of software development management experience, with a track record of leading teams that ship.

• A strong technical foundation: system design, computer science fundamentals, modern web technologies.

• Experience with technical design, problem-solving, and project management (Jira experience preferred).

• A genuine interest in hiring, coaching, and developing engineers, not just directing them.

• Comfort partnering with Recruiting and other managers to hire and scale the org.

• Excellent communication: you can carry a tradeoff conversation with an engineer and a non-technical stakeholder equally well.

Team placement

You won't pick a team on your application. We place you based on your background, what comes up in your interviews, and where the openings are at the time. If you have a strong preference, tell your recruiter early so we can route your interviews accordingly.

We offer

• Work that shows up in the physical world: what you build keeps factories, fleets, hospitals, and campuses running.

• A product built at real scale: 13.9 million managed assets, 79.5 million completed work orders, 150,000+ weekly active technicians.

• 401(k) / RRSP enrollment program.

• Generous PTO and a remote-friendly environment.

• Room to grow fast. We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly recognized.

• Compensation and equity confirmed with you directly during the process, tailored to your location.

• Full benefits details covered once you're talking with our team.

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. 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. 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.
