Job Description

We're building the AI-powered future of maintenance.

UpKeep is on a mission to reinvent how the physical world runs—starting with the frontline teams who maintain it. We're the creators of the world's first AI-first CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), equipping technicians and facilities teams with automation, machine learning, and predictive insights that drive operational speed, safety, and efficiency.

What started as a garage-built prototype is now a fast-scaling SaaS company, backed by Insight Partners, Emergence Capital, and Y Combinator. Over 4,000 companies—including Shell, Yamaha, Unilever, and Marriott—run on UpKeep to modernize their asset operations. We're leading the $30B category shift toward Asset Operations Management , where uptime, intelligence, and AI converge.

Why join us :

• Own the AI-first transformation of an entire industry.

Every feature we ship leverages AI—from predictive work orders to sensor-driven automations. You're not just iterating—you're pioneering how data reshapes physical operations.

Recognized as Gartner's #1 Facility Management solution and G2's top-rated CMMS, we've earned market leadership through product, not puff.

We move fast, optimize for outcomes, and give high-agency operators the autonomy to ship big things. Our culture rewards bold thinking, not bureaucracy.

With 100+ employees across the world, we support remote-first work with deep investment in our LA HQ—where certain roles and leadership converge for rapid innovation.

Competitive comp, meaningful ownership, and benefits that support your health, focus, and long-term growth.

If you're driven by impact, energized by AI, and hungry to transform a legacy industry—we're hiring!

UpKeep has gone AI-native to dominate the maintenance software space. We need someone who doesn't just write code — you architect intelligent systems, influence product decisions, and level up everyone around you using AI as your multiplier.

You won't be "just another dev" → You're a builder

You'll be a builder who thinks like a founder and codes like the future is now. We believe in the convergence of engineering + product + business + UX. Build your career by honing your technical skills as well as developing key mentorship and leadership abilities.

Company History & Product :

UpKeep started in a garage, where our founder Ryan taught himself to code and built the first mobile-first maintenance app. The idea was simple but powerful : put modern software in the hands of frontline technicians—and transform how maintenance gets done.

Today, UpKeep is the leading cloud-native Asset Operations Management platform, serving over 4,000 businesses worldwide across manufacturing, utilities, healthcare, and beyond. Our Industrial IoT and AI-first software helps maintenance and facilities teams streamline work, predict failures, and act faster—with real-time insights and automation at their fingertips.

We're building for the deskless workforce —the essential workers who keep our physical world running—and arming them with the tools they deserve. In a world re-shoring manufacturing, accelerating automation, and embracing AI at scale, we're riding the next macro wave—and leading the transformation of legacy maintenance into intelligent operations.

Backed by $50 million from Insight Partners, Emergence Capital, Mucker, and Y Combinator, we're not just building software. We're defining a new category for the built world.
