Job ID26WD100898Job ID26WD100898Job Requisition ID #26WD100898Position OverviewAutodesk is hiring a Product Manager to join the Analytics Data Platform team. The Analytics Data organization builds and runs the data and AI platform Autodesk teams use to capture, produce, and deliver analytics at scale. It powers product health analytics across the portfolio, personalized insights inside AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion, generative AI features, Autodesk Profile, and the Autodesk Assistant. The Analytics Data Platform team owns the infrastructure the platform runs on. This is where data lives, where compute processes it, and where work moves from one step to the next. It determines whether a team ships in a day or a quarter, and it drives the platform's cost, performance, and reliability. Our direction is self-serve and automated. Teams provision what they need in minutes, we modernize the engines and storage formats underneath, and we are opening the platform to agents that can provision, query, and optimize on a user's behalf. To get there, we are making the infrastructure work like one product, not a set of separate systems each team has to learn. As a Product Manager on the team, you will partner with a distributed engineering team to deliver this work, balancing the needs of platform users, including data engineers, scientists, analysts, and ML and BI teams, with the company's needs for cost, compliance, and reliability. We are looking for a hands-on, technically fluent product manager who leads through influence, enjoys making complex infrastructure simple to use, and knows that Autodesk's analytics and AI depend on getting this infrastructure right.
