Company mission
To give facility management and maintenance teams the tools they need to increase productivity.
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years building things that people actually use
- You've architected systems that handle real scale
- You code with AI-tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, or other AI coding Tools and see its ability to enhance engineers
- You don't need to be an AI expert — but you need to be AI-curious and learn fast
- You are comfortable working in a highly agile and iterative environment
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- Real traction, real scale
- Recognized as Gartner’s #1 Facility Management solution and G2’s top-rated CMMS, we’ve earned market leadership through product, not puff
- A company where builders thrive
- We move fast, optimize for outcomes, and give high-agency operators the autonomy to ship big things. Our culture rewards bold thinking, not bureaucracy
- Global team, local energy
- 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
- Equity and upside, not just a paycheck
- Competitive comp, meaningful ownership, and benefits that support your health, focus, and long-term growth
- 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
- Work directly with founders and Product Managers to make AI-driven architectural + product decisions that matter
- We work in small teams to iteratively deliver features that will be used by tens of thousands of maintenance teams daily, including companies that build products that you interact with every single day
- Tech Stack We Live In:
- TypeScript + React (Top quality and Consistent Front-Ends)
- Node.js / Express + distributed services
- Document (MongoDB) and Relational databases (PostgreSQL)AI/ML APIs and platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, Langchain, etc.)
- AWS - S3, SNS/SQS
- Docker + Kubernetes (rapid deployments and robust CI/CD)
Our take
For hundreds of thousands of repair workers, as well as facilities and operations managers, the task of making maintenance requests proves to be time-consuming and inefficient. UpKeep was designed so these critical workflow decisions can be made with data-driven insights and in real time, without mountains of note taking and paperwork.
For a monthly subscription fee, UpKeep's users can manage assets and inventory, track time and cost, implement preventative maintenance, and more, with two tiers of features plus a customizable business option to choose from. The platform serves companies across industries, from manufacturing and farming, to hospitality and fitness, and including global enterprises like Yamaha and Unilever. It keeps the sharing of all types of maintenance issues conveniently on one platform, in an easy to read user friendly interface.
In 2022, the company successfully patented its "UpKeep Edge" product, which leverages sensors and cellular gateways to deliver real-time data on operating environments. This achievement showcases that the company is at the forefront of innovation in its field, and is positioned well to continue bringing next-level products to its customers.
