About The Position

Autodesk is building a shared AI-assisted commerce platform that enables AI copilots and agents to safely discover, recommend, and transact Autodesk offerings. As a Senior Developer, you will contribute to designing and building core APIs and orchestration services that connect AI systems to Autodesk’s commerce infrastructure—pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, and checkout—while ensuring reliability, security, and scalability. This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, distributed systems, and applied AI enablement.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience building and operating backend or platform systems
• Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (scaling, reliability, APIs, caching, async processing)
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, or Node.js)
• Experience designing and building REST or gRPC APIs
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments (e.g., Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to AI/agent-based systems, workflow orchestration, or automation platforms
• Experience with commerce systems (pricing, subscriptions, checkout flows)
• Familiarity with multi-tenant systems and access control models (RBAC/ABAC)
• Experience contributing to shared platforms or internal developer tools

Responsibilities

• Develop and enhance APIs and services that enable AI copilots/agents to interact with commerce systems (e.g., product discovery → pricing → eligibility → checkout)
• Apply best practices for API design, including idempotency, retries, rate limiting, validation, and consistent error handling to support agent-driven workflows
• Work with existing services such as pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, and checkout to build scalable integrations and support incremental adoption.
• Contribute to monitoring, logging, and alerting; support SLOs/SLIs; and participate in incident response and continuous improvement efforts.
• Implement secure service-to-service communication (authN/authZ), data protection, and basic guardrails for safe agent interactions
• Help create documentation, SDKs, and examples that make it easier for other teams to adopt the platform
• Work with developers, product managers, and architects to deliver scalable solutions and contribute to technical discussions and design reviews
