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.
  • 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!
