Position OverviewIf you love building real systems that real customers use—and you get genuinely excited about LLMs, RAG, MCP, and agentic architectures—this role is for you. The Applied AI team in Autodesk's Data and Process Management (DPM) organization ships Cloud-Native AI agents that make our Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) workflows smarter and easier. This is a hands‑on architecture role where you'll design core platform patterns and also write code that lands in production. We're looking for a modern builder: Ambitious, Curious, and Practical—someone who has already shipped scalable, Cloud‑Native AI Applications to production and wants to level up further. You might have expertise in GenAI Applications, or you might have shipped traditional Machine Learning applications (recommendations, forecasting, anomaly detection) at scale and are ready to go all‑in on agentic architectures. Either way, you build for reliability, quality, and impact.ResponsibilitiesArchitect and build scalable, secure cloud‑native services and Agentic AI workflows that run in productionOwn the GenAI/ML architecture for production agentic systems: tool‑use, orchestration, state/memory, routing, and multi‑step workflowsStandardize tool/context integrations across internal systems using MCP‑based patterns (or equivalent approaches), enabling teams to ship faster on a shared foundationEstablish evaluation + observability standards (regression tests, monitoring, feedback loops)Set technical direction via reference architectures, best practices, and hands‑on technical guidance across teamsPartner closely with Product, Security/Privacy,



and Engineering leaders to deliver high‑impact featuresMinimum QualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience8+ years building cloud‑native software in production (distributed systems, APIs, data‑intensive services, reliability and operations)4+ years delivering AI/ML‑powered system in productionTraditional ML cloud applications (training pipelines, deployment, monitoring, iteration)LLM‑based systems (RAG, MCP, Agent workflows, fine‑tuned models)Experience with MCP or similar standardized patterns for connecting models to tools and contextExperience with deploying and maintaining AI Applications in production reliably, monitoring performance, and improving over timeProficiency in Python/TypeScript/Java with strong engineering fundamentals (testing, code quality, performance, security)Robust communication skills: you can explain tradeoffs clearly and influence decisions without relying on authorityPreferred QualificationsDeep experience designing AI evaluation pipelines and production release strategies for AI ApplicationsExperience with AWS/Azure/GCP and modern platform practices (containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability)Experience in PLM/PDM, manufacturing, CAD,
