Position Overview

The DFA Applied AI team at Autodesk builds intelligent, AI-powered solutions that enable users to discover, access, manage, and collaborate on design and manufacturing data through natural language and intuitive user experiences. Our work combines LLM-powered agents, scalable backend services, and reusable UI components to deliver seamless, connected workflows across Autodesk products and data sources.

Responsibilities

- Lead the architecture, design, and delivery of full-stack AI-powered solutions, from backend agent services to React/Type Script user experiences.
- Design and develop LLM-powered agents, including tool calling, orchestration, streaming responses, and multi-turn conversational workflows.
- Build scalable backend services, APIs, and integrations that enable secure access to design and manufacturing data.
- Develop reusable React/Type Script components and intuitive user experiences for AI-powered and data access workflows.
- Drive technical decisions across agent architecture, LLM integration, backend services, and cloud infrastructure.
- Ensure production readiness through robust testing, security, performance, reliability, and observability.
- Mentor engineers, establish engineering best practices, and own features from design through production.

Minimum Qualifications

- 10+ years of software engineering experience building and delivering large-scale production systems.
- Hands-on experience with LLM application patterns, including tool use, streaming responses, multi-turn conversations, and context/session management.
- Production experience with agent frameworks (e.g., Strands Agents, Lang Graph, Auto Gen) and/or protocols such as MCP or A2A.
- Robust proficiency in Python and/or Java, including async programming, testing, and building scalable backend services and REST/streaming APIs.
- Experience developing and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, Secrets Manager).
- Hands-on experience with React, Type Script, and modern frontend development,



including reusable components and data-driven user experiences.
- Strong understanding of software architecture, security, authorization, dependency resilience (retries, timeouts), observability, and production reliability.
- Experience working in large-scale or polyglot codebases and actively using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot).
- Strong technical leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive architectural decisions and work autonomously.

Nice to Have

- Experience with RAG pipelines, vector search, embeddings, and semantic retrieval techniques.
- Experience with prompt engineering, system prompt design, and LLM evaluation techniques.
- Experience building shared UI component libraries, data access platforms, or cross-product integrations.
- Familiarity with spec-driven development workflows (e.g., Open Spec).
