Senior Software Engineer: AI-Driven Cloud Microservices

Autodesk, Inc.; Texas; Hybrid; USD 117,000 - 209,000; Full time

Job summary

Autodesk, Inc. seeks a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and operate resilient, scalable Java microservices for the Product Access platform.

You will own end‑to‑end delivery, collaborating with product managers and architects across multiple teams, while contributing to automation, on‑call support, and production reliability. You will work on cloud-native services, containerized in AWS with Kinesis/Kafka events, and apply spec‑driven development to deliver robust features in production

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of progressive software engineering experience building and operating Java microservices and serverless architectures
• Strong Java and Spring Boot skills; solid unit, integration, and system testing; strong debugging in local and integrated environments
• Hands‑on experience building or integrating AI‑powered systems: agents, LLM‑based applications, RAG, or tool‑calling workflows
• Experience with spec‑driven development (SDD)
• Experience with event‑driven streaming (Kinesis, Kafka, or equivalent), containers on AWS (Docker, ECS Fargate), CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and core AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, messaging, API gateways, logging, monitoring)
• Strong collaboration and communication skills; effective in small teams with shared end‑to‑end ownership of design, delivery, and production support

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and operate resilient, scalable, high-performing cloud-native Java microservices and distributed systems on AWS for the Product Access platform
• Own business features and platform initiatives end to end, from requirement analysis through production support, working with product and engineering partners on design, testing, and operational readiness
• Enhance system resiliency, reliability, scalability, and security; optimize performance, troubleshoot production issues, and implement engineering best practices across development and delivery pipelines
• Lead project delivery by organizing scope, estimating effort, establishing timelines, and driving medium-to-large initiatives independently
• Apply spec‑driven development in platform and feature delivery
• Build and extend agentic systems and automation: composable skills, MCP integrations, and knowledge retrieval grounded in runbooks, tickets, and service documentation
• Deliver proactive triage and write‑action automation with human‑in‑the‑loop gates where required, progressing toward autonomous design‑to‑delivery workflows
• Enforce production standards for agentic systems through evaluation, CI quality gates, and end‑to‑end observability across agents and services
• Provide production support; lead incident response and root cause analysis; participate in a shared on‑call rotation for production systems, including support outside standard business hours per team schedule; mentor engineers and uphold sound engineering practices
