Staff Data Engineer

Montreal, Canada
 

MaintainX is the world's leading Asset and Work Intelligence platform for industrial and frontline environments. We are a modern IoT-enabled cloud-based tool for reliability, safety, and operations on physical equipment and facilities. MaintainX powers operational excellence for 10,000+ businesses including Duracell, Univar Solutions Inc., Titan America, McDonald's, Brenntag, Cintas, Xylem, and Shell.

We've raised $104 million in venture capital following a recent Series C funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, August Capital, Amity Ventures, Ridge Ventures as well as CEOs from GE, Twilio, Coupa, Toast and PagerDuty.

About the role:

MaintainX is building a modern data platform on Databricks to power ML- and analytics-driven features for users, helping them get maximum value from their data. The platform also powers internal decision-making at all levels of the organization, accelerating MaintainX’s journey to become a truly data-driven organization.

We’re looking for a Senior II or Staff Data Engineer to drive the development of this data platform — someone who can think like a platform engineer, collaborate like a tech lead, drive best practices among data engineers, and get hands on in the development of a Databricks platform that empowers software engineers, ML engineers, analytics engineers, and data analysts alike. 

The Staff Data Engineer will be part of a growing team focused on building a platform that is reliable, scalable, and easy to use — not just for data engineers, but for anyone in the company who uses data.

What you’ll do:

  • Act as technical expert for our data platform — shaping architecture, improving data systems, and guiding engineering decisions across the data engineering team and stakeholders developing on the platform
  • Design and build tooling that improves how internal users interact with Databricks (e.g. libraries, patterns, automations, templates, documentation)
  • Establish and promote best practices across the data lifecycle (testing, CI/CD, contracts, lineage, governance, cost, performance, observability, maintainability, orchestration, etc.)
  • Collaborate closely with software engineers, ML engineers, and data analysts to understand their workflows and deliver the datasets and/or tooling they need
  • Mentor and uplevel other data engineers
  • Stay pragmatic and flexible — move fast when needed, but lay strong foundations for the future

About you:

  • Have 8+ years of relevant experience across data engineering, software engineering, data science, ML, and/or analytics
  • Understand the intersection between data engineering and platform engineering — you're comfortable thinking in abstractions and tooling
  • Have strong experience building data platforms or tooling for internal users (SWE, ML, or analytics teams)
  • Have strong knowledge of Databricks and the modern data stack
  • Proficient in Spark and Delta Lake, with experience optimizing distributed batch and streaming data pipelines and storage formats at scale
  • Comfortable with cloud-native data tools and infrastructure (we’re using AWS)
  • Are excited to work with a new data stack, with lots of opportunity to drive the technical direction of the data platform

Extra consideration for candidates with the following:

  • Development experience on data platforms as a software developer or ML engineer
  • Knowledge of MLflow and model deployment services
  • Experience in designing data platforms for generative AI (LLM) use cases, including :
    • Integration and retrieval of vector embeddings
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
    • LangChain, LangGraph or other LLM orchestration frameworks
  • Experience of working in a hub-and-spoke organizational model, supporting multiple teams via a centralized data infrastructure

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:
    • You’ll work alongside folks across the globe that reflect the MaintainX values, Smart Humble Optimist
    • We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly celebrated

About us:

Our mission is to make the life of blue-collar workers easier worldwide by creating software that meets their needs and realities. Our product is truly life-changing for 80% of the workforce that doesn’t work behind a desk and needs enterprise-grade software at their fingertips.

MaintainX is committed to creating a diverse environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
