POSITION OVERVIEW

The work we do at Autodesk touches nearly every person on the planet. By creating software tools for making buildings, machines, and even the latest movies, we influence and empower some of the most creative people in the world to solve problems that matter.

Autodesk is seeking a Senior ML Engineer, ML Systems and Infrastructure to design and scale the systems that enable machine learning across research and product development. You will help build the infrastructure behind large-scale data pipelines, distributed training systems, evaluation frameworks, and production ML workflows that support foundation models and ML-powered product features.

This role is ideal for an engineer who is deeply interested in scalable systems and production-grade ML infrastructure. You will operate independently across multiple parts of the stack and help define strong engineering practices for reliability, performance, and maintainability.

This role is fully remote-friendly, with team members distributed across the US and Canada.

Location: US or Canada Remote, East Coast

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and build scalable systems for ML training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring

• Experience designing and operating scalable data or compute pipelines

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

• Familiarity with containers, CI/CD, observability, and release quality practices

• Ability to independently drive technical execution on complex work with limited oversight

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience building data pipelines for large-scale structured and semi-structured technical datasets

• Experience with data lineage, provenance, governance, and responsible data usage in ML systems

• Experience with distributed data processing and orchestration systems such as Ray, Airflow, Spark, or similar platforms

• Experience with model deployment, inference services, monitoring, and observability for production ML systems

• Experience building ML-ready representations for geometry, graph, hierarchical, or multimodal data

• Experience with distributed ML frameworks such as PyTorch, Lightning, DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, or similar

• Familiarity with AEC workflows, design data, BIM/CAD formats, or Autodesk products

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Thinks like a systems engineer and executes like a strong software developer

• Can balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health

• Brings strong technical judgment and ownership

• Improves team effectiveness through mentoring and engineering rigor
