Position Overview
Ever wanted to help build the tools that designers and developers use to make a better world? Autodesk's Platform Services team designs common capabilities used across our large portfolio of design and make software - helping Autodesk teams and customers grow their business, solve important workflow challenges, and build on top of our 3D modeling, visualization, and data insight software. PSET touches virtually every Autodesk product surface, meaning the work done here shapes decisions at the infrastructure level with downstream effects across the entire ecosystem. You'll collaborate with designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers who are passionate about bringing better experiences to architecture, construction, manufacturing, and film and visual effects on a team with a strong culture of collaboration, mentorship, and individual attention to career growth and impact.
In the role of Principal Researcher you'll be responsible for developing the research strategy that supports AI-enabled developer workflows. Developers are a critical component of the Autodesk platform ecosystem, using infrastructure we provide to build solutions that solve meaningful industry problems. As the team accelerates its AI investments, you'll define how we understand developer needs: how they discover and adopt our platform capabilities, how they integrate AI tools into their build cycles, and where future investments can unlock productivity & growth. Your work will span the full developer journey - from discovery and onboarding through to building, deployment, debugging, and monitoring usage.
We are seeking a collaborative researcher who can successfully focus a large set of stakeholders on the key goals and questions that require developer feedback, and partner with designers to craft an agile program of discovery, generative and evaluative research. You will help understand developer workflows, frictions & needs, derisk decision making across the product development lifecycle, and evaluate the success of feature experiments in alignment with business objectives. Experience leveraging mixed methods approaches, triangulating research with product data, identifying patterns, and translating insights into action will be key to your success. You'll also have an opportunity to mentor junior researchers, share best practices across Autodesk's cohesive and active research community, show thought leadership inside and outside the company, and get mentored by senior members of our entire design team.
