• Champion engineering best practices including CI/CD, observability, system resilience, and API-first design principles

• Partner with Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Legal teams to ensure commerce systems meet business and compliance requirements (SOX, PCI-DSS, GDPR)

• Collaborate closely with Marketing, Digital, and Customer Success to deliver seamless commerce experiences across Autodesk's owned channels and third-party platforms

• Engage external technology partners such as AWS, and payment processors to extend platform capabilities and ensure strategic vendor alignment

• Define, track, and report against KPIs and OKRs for commerce platform health, velocity, reliability, and business impact
