Job summary

Autodesk Canada is seeking a Senior Software Developer to advance agentic AI within our Visualization Solutions, driving production-grade MCP/AI capabilities and enabling natural-language interactions with complex models.

You will own end-to-end subsystems, evaluate AI behavior for quality and safety, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn customer workflows into scalable technical solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science / Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years delivering production-grade software.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern web technologies (e.g. React).
• Demonstrated experience building AI/ML-powered features — LLMs, agents, orchestration RAG systems, or similar — in production.

• Solid understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and service-oriented architectures.
• Hands-on with automated testing, CI/CD, and Git workflows; effective communication in English; experience in Agile environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement complex agentic subsystems: tool/capability composition, agent.
• Orchestration, context retention across sessions, and retrieval (RAG).
• Own subsystems end-to-end — clarify requirements, design, implement, evaluate, deploy, and support in production.
• Build and own evaluation for AI behavior — quality, safety, latency, and cost — and use it to drive durable improvements.
• Embed trust into agentic workflows: human-in-the-loop review gates, traceability, reversibility, and confidence signaling.
• Make sound trade-offs across model choice, prompting/orchestration, and system design, balancing accuracy, latency, cost, and maintainability.
• Contribute to the architecture and cross-product integrations of the agentic platform.
• Lead root-cause analysis for production issues; elevate quality through code review, automated testing, and CI/CD.
