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. - 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.
If you’re driven by impact, energized by AI, and hungry to transform a legacy industry—we’re hiring!
Looking for a Staff Engineer who sees AI as a superpower, not a threat.
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. Everyone who works with us gets leveled up across all dimensions.
Our Offer- Agency: Freedom to make AI-driven architectural + product decisions that matter
- Impact: Your AI-enhanced code will be used by tens of thousands of maintenance teams daily, including companies that build products that you interact with every single day.
- Talent: You'll be surrounded by other AI-curious + hungry humans
- Learning: Perfect blend of trying new tooling and building scalable, reliable systems
- 10+ years building things that people actually use
- You've architected systems that handle real scale
- You code with Cursor (Windsurf, or other AI coding Tools) and get excited about their changelogs
- You see AI as enabling humans to achieve incredible feats, not replacing them
- You don't need to be an AI expert — but you need to be AI-curious and learn fast and have built AI side project for fun in the past 6 months - show us your experiments
- You had a chapter where you worked in a highly disciplined environment (could be military, top-tier company, competitive sports, etc.)
- TypeScript + React (Top quality and Consistent Front-Ends)
- Node.js + distributed services + AI integrations
- AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- AWS (we're cloud-native + AI-ready)
- Docker + Kubernetes (because we scale intelligently)
- Small teams, big AI-amplified impact — no corporate BS
- You'll work directly with founders and PMs on AI product strategy
- We believe in AI-assisted crush lists, not Jira hell
- Opportunity to work in-person with your team in Westwood, LA — there's magic to building AI products in person. Let’s hang.
- We move fast with AI copilots and don't break (too many) things
We believe AI will ensure our manufacturing sector grows, universities run smoothly, and hospitals deliver consistent care. You'll help us build that future.
COMPENSATION
This role will receive a competitive base salary + annual bonus + benefits + equity. A variety of factors are considered when determining someone’s compensation–including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Final offer amounts may vary from the amounts listed below.

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.
