We were named to the Forbes 2025 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world.

We're growing fast and hiring the Research talent to match.

We're looking for a Design Researcher to help us deeply understand our users and bring their needs, behaviors, and motivations into every stage of the design process.

This role is ideal for someone who is curious, methodical, and passionate about translating human behavior into actionable product decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Own research from end to end. Scoping, planning, recruiting participants, running sessions, synthesizing, and presenting findings.
• Translate complex findings into clear narratives and actionable recommendations that product teams can use to make decisions.
• Get close to users through site visits, interviews, and hands-on observation with maintenance technicians, facility managers, and operations teams. Understand how they work, not just how they use the product.
• Champion customer empathy across the organization. Make sure Product, Design, Engineering, and leadership deeply understand who we're building for through storytelling, shared insight repositories, and regular research read-outs.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate research workflows, from data tagging to pattern synthesis, while maintaining rigor and critical thinking.
• Independently scope, prioritize, and manage research projects aligned with team goals.
• Help shape how research works at MaintainX. Establish the tools, templates, and rhythms that make user insights a consistent part of how we build the product.

About You

• 3-5 years of experience in UX research.
• Strong foundation in research methodologies across both qualitative and quantitative methods. You know when to use which method and can explain why.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous problems into well-scoped research plans and turn findings into recommendations that actually influence product decisions.
• Experience synthesizing research into compelling presentations that influence product direction across PMs, designers, engineers, and leadership.
• Comfortable working independently in cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments.
• Demonstrated ability of adopting AI tooling to accelerate your research workflow.
• Experience with analytics tools (Amplitude, etc.) to complement primary research with behavioral data.

Nice-to-haves:

• Background in industrial, operations, or field-based user populations where context of use matters as much as the interface.
• Background in psychology, HCI, anthropology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Exposure to service design, journey mapping, or VOC programs.
• Experience working at a B2B SaaS company or on products serving non-desk workers.

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 Optimists.
• 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.

Overview
The R&D Engineer is a researcher-practitioner - someone equally comfortable reading papers and shipping prototypes. They are responsible for staying close to the frontier of LLM and AI systems research, identifying ideas with practical value, and building POCs that demonstrate feasibility. These POCs are demoed to the team and, where validated, handed off to the Platform and AI Engineers to productionize. This person does not work in isolation — they collaborate closely with the rest of the team throughout the research-to-product pipeline.

What You'll Do:

• Monitor and synthesize developments in LLM systems, AI infrastructure, and adjacent research areas
• Prototype and evaluate novel ideas with a fast feedback loop — build, demo, iterate
• Extend and improve the existing agent and RAG SDKs with new retrieval strategies, agent patterns, and provider integrations
• Evaluate new embedding models, reranking approaches, and retrieval architectures against the existing pipeline
• Collaborate with the Platform and AI Engineers to hand off validated POCs
• Produce clear documentation and demos that make research accessible to non-researchers
• Contribute to discussions with the tech lead on long-term research direction and where to place technical bets
• Engage with the broader research community — conferences, papers, open-source projects
• Identify opportunities where emerging techniques can address real problems surfaced by the AI Engineer

What You Bring:

• Hands-on experience building or evaluating LLM systems — fine-tuning, inference, retrieval, or agents
• Familiarity with RAG architectures beyond naive vector search — HyDE, MMR, graph-based retrieval, reranking, or hybrid search
• Exposure to agent frameworks and multi-agent orchestration patterns (PydanticAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to move quickly from idea to working prototype
• A portfolio of explored ideas — published work, technical blog posts, side projects, or OSS contributions
• Strong communication skills — can explain complex research to non-researchers clearly
• Collaborative by default; understands that research value is realized when ideas ship
  • Core: Python, agent frameworks (PydanticAI or equivalent), RAG pipeline design (embedding, retrieval, reranking), managed ML platforms (Vertex AI or equivalent)
  • Nice to have: Systems-level programming experience, familiarity with inference infrastructure (vLLM, TensorRT), experience with RLHF or fine-tuning pipelines, MCP protocol, graph databases (Neo4j)
