26WD96355, Principal Backend Software Developer
Position Overview
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 Principal Developer you will design and build the core APIs and orchestration layer (MCP) that connects AI systems to Autodesk's commerce infrastructure-pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, and checkout-with enterprise-grade reliability, security, and governance.
This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, distributed systems, and applied AI enablement.
Responsibilities
Design and implement the runtime and APIs that allow copilots/agents to invoke commerce capabilities safely and consistently (e.g., product discovery pricing eligibility/entitlements checkout)
Create standardized patterns for tool invocation (idempotency, retries, rate limits, validation), error contracts, and deterministic behaviors suitable for LLM/agent workflows
Build adapters and service interfaces to existing commerce capabilities (pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, checkout), including backward compatibility and rollout strategies
Own service SLOs/SLIs, observability (logs/metrics/traces), resilience patterns, and incident readiness; drive post-incident improvements
Implement strong authN/authZ, tenant isolation, secrets management, auditability, policy enforcement, and safe-guardrails around agent actions (approvals, constraints, and traceability)
Provide SDKs, documentation, reference implementations, and golden paths so product teams can integrate agents quickly and safely
Drive architecture decisions across teams, lead design reviews/RFCs, mentor developers, and influence roadmaps across the commerce + AI ecosystem
Minimum Qualifications
10+ years building and operating production backend/platform systems
Deep knowledge of distributed systems: scaling, failure modes, consistency, caching, queues/streams, concurrency, idempotency, and backpressure
Strong backend proficiency in one or more languages (e.g., Java/Kotlin, Node Js), plus strong API design (REST/gRPC) and data modeling
Experience with cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC), and building reliable services with modern observability
Proven ability to lead cross-team initiatives through ambiguity, balancing platform correctness, security, and product velocity
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing platforms for automation/agents (workflow orchestration, tool routing, policy engines, approvals, audit trails)
Commerce domain exposure: pricing catalogs, subscription lifecycle, entitlement checks, tax/payment/checkout flows
Multi-tenant enterprise patterns: tenant isolation, RBAC/ABAC, compliance-minded logging, data retention
Experience building internal platforms with adoption metrics, SDKs, and versioned contracts
The Ideal Candidate
AI copilots and agents can reliably and safely complete commerce tasks using your MCP layer (with strong auditability and guardrails)
Integrations with pricing/subscription/entitlements/checkout become simpler, standardized, and faster for teams to adopt
Platform reliability improves measurably (SLO attainment, incident reduction, faster recovery) while maintaining strict security and governance

26WD96355, Developpeur logiciel principal backend
Apercu du Poste
Autodesk developpe une plateforme commerciale partagee assistee par l'IA qui permet a des copilotes et agents IA de decouvrir, recommander et commercialiser en toute securite les offres Autodesk.
En tant que developpeur principal, vous concevrez et developperez les API centrales et la couche d'orchestration (MCP) qui relient les systemes d'IA a l'infrastructure commerciale d'Autodesk - tarification, abonnements, droits d'acces et paiement - avec une fiabilite, une securite et une gouvernance de niveau entreprise.
Ce poste se situe a la croisee de l'ingenierie de plateformes, des systemes distribues et de la mise en uvre de l'IA appliquee.
Responsabilites
Concevoir et mettre en uvre le runtime et les API permettant aux copilotes/agents d'invoquer les fonctionnalites commerciales de maniere sure et coherente (par exemple, decouverte de produits tarification eligibilite/droits d'acces paiement)
Creer des modeles standardises pour l'invocation d'outils (idempotence, tentatives de reessai, limites de debit, validation), les contrats d'erreur et les comportements deterministes adaptes aux workflows des modeles de langage (LLM) et des agents
Developper des adaptateurs et des interfaces de service pour les fonctionnalites commerciales existantes (tarification, abonnements, droits d'acces, paiement), y compris la retrocompatibilite et les strategies de deploiement
Gerer les SLO/SLI des services, l'observabilite (journaux/metriques/traces), les modeles de resilience et la preparation aux incidents ; piloter les ameliorations post-incident
Mettre en uvre une authentification et une autorisation robustes, l'isolation des locataires, la gestion des secrets, l'auditabilite, l'application des politiques et des garde-fous autour des actions des agents (approbations, contraintes et tracabilite)
Fournir des SDK, de la documentation, des implementations de reference et des chemins de reference afin que les equipes produit puissent integrer les agents rapidement et en toute securite
Piloter les decisions architecturales entre les equipes, diriger les revues de conception/RFC, encadrer les developpeurs et influencer les feuilles de route au sein de l'ecosysteme commerce + IA
Qualifications Minimales
Plus de 10 ans d'experience dans la conception et l'exploitation de systemes backend/plateformes en production
Connaissance approfondie des systemes distribues : evolutivite, modes de defaillance, coherence, mise en cache, files d'attente/flux, concurrence, idempotence et contre-pression
Maitrise approfondie du backend dans un ou plusieurs langages (par exemple, Java/Kotlin, Node.js), ainsi que de la conception d'API (REST/gRPC) et de la modelisation des donnees
Experience des systemes cloud-native (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC) et de la mise en place de services fiables avec une observabilite moderne
Capacite averee a diriger des initiatives inter-equipes dans un contexte d'ambiguite, en conciliant l'exactitude de la plateforme, la securite et la vitesse de developpement du produit
Qualifications Souhaitees
Experience dans la conception de plateformes d'automatisation/d'agents (orchestration des workflows, routage des outils, moteurs de politiques, validations, pistes d'audit)
Connaissance du domaine du commerce : catalogues de tarification, cycle de vie des abonnements, verifications des droits, flux de taxation/paiement/paiement
Modeles d'entreprise multi-locataires : isolation des locataires, RBAC/ABAC, journalisation axee sur la conformite, conservation des donnees
Experience dans la creation de plateformes internes avec des indicateurs d'adoption, des SDK et des contrats versionnes
Le Candidat Ideal
Les copilotes et agents IA peuvent accomplir de maniere fiable et securisee des taches commerciales en utilisant votre couche MCP (avec une forte auditabilite et des garde-fous)
Les integrations avec la tarification, les abonnements, les droits d'acces et le paiement deviennent plus simples, standardisees et rapides a adopter par les equipes
La fiabilite de la plateforme s'ameliore de maniere mesurable (respect des SLO, reduction des incidents, reprise plus rapide) tout en maintenant une securite et une gouvernance strictes
