United States / Remote

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!

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.

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.
