Project:** Agentic AI Maximo Platform Project
About the Project
The *Agentic AI Maximo Platform Project* is a groundbreaking initiative led by the College of Engineering and IT at the University of Dubai, in collaboration with the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD).
The project enhances the **IBM Maximo Application Suite** by integrating an **Agentic AI layer**, transforming Maximo modules into intelligent, explainable agents that autonomously collaborate to deliver predictive maintenance, fraud detection, budget forecasting, and optimized resource allocation across more than 1,000 IACAD-managed facilities in Dubai.
Role Overview
The **Software Engineer** will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and deploying the *Agentic AI Maximo Platform*.
The position involves the full software development lifecycle—from microservice design and integration to DevOps automation and system performance optimization.
This role is ideal for candidates experienced in **enterprise AI integration, backend engineering, automation workflows, and large-scale data systems**.
The Software Engineer will collaborate with researchers, AI developers, and project stakeholders to ensure the seamless and secure deployment of intelligent Maximo agents across IACAD’s operational systems.
Key Responsibilities
- **Agent Development & Integration:**
- Design, implement, and integrate microservices for the Predict, Fraud, Budget, Scheduling, and Integration agents; connect via REST APIs, Maximo Integration Framework (MIF), and event-driven systems (Kafka/MQTT).
- **Architecture & Deployment:**
- Design and manage cloud/on-premise backends, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized services to ensure high availability, reliability, and scalability of agent operations.
- **Automation & Workflows:**
- Implement end-to-end automation in Maximo (e.g., auto-work order creation, 3-way invoice matching, dynamic scheduling, and cost re-forecasting) using workflow engines and intelligent triggers.
- **Web/Mobile Integration:**
- Develop interactive dashboards and mobile interfaces that visualize agent outputs (e.g., asset health indices, SLA risk scores, anomaly detection results) with human-in-the-loop feedback controls.
- **Security & Compliance:**
- Enforce enterprise security standards, including Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Segregation of Duties (SoD), encrypted communications, audit logging, and data privacy policies.
- **Performance & Reliability:**
- Optimize service performance and latency for predictive and scheduling agents, apply observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing), and implement blue-green deployment strategies and uptime monitoring.
Educational Background
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field.
Technical Skills
- Proven experience in backend software development using Python, Java, or Node.js.
- Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and message-driven systems (Kafka, MQTT, or RabbitMQ).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with Maximo, enterprise asset management systems, or ERP integrations.
- Knowledge of AI/ML deployment (MLflow, TensorFlow Serving, or FastAPI-based AI APIs).
- Experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data integration workflows.
- Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or IBM Cloud) and container orchestration.
Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
- Ability to manage time effectively and deliver under research deadlines.
- Collaborative mindset with experience working in interdisciplinary teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience with IBM Maximo or other enterprise maintenance platforms.
- Background in AI systems integration, multi-agent systems, or intelligent automation.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
- Experience contributing to applied AI or enterprise automation projects.
Why Join Us?
- Contribute to one of Dubai’s most innovative AI transformation projects with direct societal and economic impact.
- Work with cutting-edge AI, automation, and Maximo technologies in collaboration with IACAD and IBM.
- Gain experience in full-stack AI systems engineering, integration, and deployment.
