26WD100467, AI Builder, Principal Experience Designer
Position Overview
This is a role foranexperiencedesign leader who wantsto fundamentally change how the platform works, and can prove it, not just pitch it. You will join a small, AI-native disrupt squad within Autodesk's Platform Services & Emerging Technologies (PSET) organization, accountable for redefining how the platform is experienced, accessed, and built upon.
Youwon'tbehandeda roadmap. You willidentifyhigh-leverage opportunities, define what should exist, anddemonstratea dramatically better way through working proofs, using AI, real systems, and rapid experimentation.
Your role is not to produce designs and hand them off. On this team, product thinking, experience design, and engineering are rethinking how to work as an AI native delivery team. As theexperience-minded AI Builder, you bring deep experience and product design thinking into the what and the why, and you stay close enough to the build that your direction is grounded in something real. In practice,that means building AI-assisted prototypes, shaping demos, and working directly with real flows and data yourself.
Youdo notmaintaindesign specs oroperateproduction systems. You are accountable for turning friction into opportunity and delivering working proofs that make a new experience credible and hard to dismiss.
Responsibilities
Research how peopleactually workacross the platform, using discovery interviews, journey mapping, and behavioral signals to surface the seams, bottlenecks, and handoffs that make it harder to use than it should be
Define what should exist, turning research insights into a clear experience direction and prioritizing the few opportunities where a better interaction model creates outsized value for customers and the business
Decide what to challenge: actively question whether existing flows, patterns, and interaction models should be replaced, simplified, or significantly improved, and use usability testing and experimentation to settle it on evidence rather than opinion
Prove it: partner withPMs anddevelopers, and get hands-on yourself with AI tools, prototyping tools, and real content and data, to build working, testable prototypes that show the experience holds up with real users, not just that it could
Package the results as clear "before vs after" proof points, grounded in user evidence, that make friction visible and the better experience undeniable, creating pull for change across teams
Translate what the research and proofs reveal into direction: the interaction patterns and experience the platform should adopt next, anda viablepath to get there
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years driving experience and product design in complex, technical environments, with a strongtrack recordof using prototyping and testing to discover,validate, and evolve solutions
Acts with agency in ambiguous spaces, setting direction and making progress before anyone hands them a plan
Strong designjudgment:prioritizes the experience changes that create real value across a workflow, not just within a single screen or feature
Strong craft across interaction design, information architecture, and end-to-end flows, including designing for self-serve and for human plus AI interaction
Hands-on comfort with AI-enabled design and prototyping tools, using them to build and pressure-test experiences, not only to inform specs
Comfortable operating across product, engineering, and experience, shaping solutions end-to-end rather than handing off between functions
Background in workflow-oriented or systems design rather than feature-only or purely visual design
Turns problems and insight into tangible, working experiences, whether prototypes or demos, not just mockups, flows, or specs
Ability to synthesize user needs, business context, and technical constraints into a clear experience direction
Ability to influence stakeholders and build alignment across teams without relying on formal authority
High learning velocity and comfortoperatingin ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working on 01 experiences, ideally in workflow-heavy enterprise products or greenfield SaaS
Designed for AI-enabled products, including patterns for human plus AI interaction
Familiarity with design systems, interaction patterns, and guardrails
Exposure to evaluative and usability research, and using outcomes to guide decisions

26WD100467, AI Builder, Concepteur principal d'experience utilisateur
Apercu du Poste
Ce poste s'adresse a un responsable de l'experience utilisateur qui souhaite transformer en profondeur le fonctionnement de la plateforme et qui est capable de le prouver, et non pas seulement d'en faire la promotion. Vous rejoindrez une petite equipe innovante, specialisee dans l'IA, au sein de l'organisation Platform Services & Emerging Technologies (PSET) d'Autodesk. Vous serez charge(e) de redefinir la maniere dont la plateforme est percue, accessible et developpee.
On ne vous remettra pas de feuille de route toute faite. Vous identifierez les opportunites a fort impact, definirez ce qui devrait exister et demontrerez une approche nettement plus efficace grace a des preuves de concept, en utilisant l'IA, des systemes reels et une experimentation rapide.
Votre role ne consiste pas a produire des conceptions pour ensuite les transmettre a d'autres. Au sein de cette equipe, la reflexion produit, la conception d'experience et l'ingenierie repensent la maniere de travailler en tant qu'equipe de developpement native de l'IA. En tant que developpeur IA axe sur l'experience, vous apportez une expertise approfondie et une approche de conception produit pour definir le quoi et le pourquoi , tout en restant suffisamment proche du developpement pour que vos orientations s'appuient sur des elements concrets. Concretement, cela implique de creer des prototypes assistes par l'IA, de mettre au point des demonstrations et de travailler vous-meme directement avec des flux et des donnees reels.
Vous ne gerez pas les specifications de conception ni les systemes de production. Vous etes charge(e) de transformer les frictions en opportunites et de fournir des preuves de concept fonctionnelles qui rendent une nouvelle experience credible et difficile a ignorer.
Responsabilites
Etudier la maniere dont les utilisateurs travaillent reellement sur la plateforme, a l'aide d'entretiens exploratoires, de cartographie des parcours et de signaux comportementaux, afin de mettre en evidence les ruptures, les goulots d'etranglement et les transferts qui rendent l'utilisation plus difficile qu'elle ne devrait l'etre
Definir ce qui devrait exister, en transformant les conclusions de la recherche en une orientation claire pour l'experience utilisateur et en donnant la priorite aux quelques opportunites ou un meilleur modele d'interaction cree une valeur exceptionnelle pour les clients et l'entreprise
Decider ce qu'il faut remettre en question : se demander activement si les flux, schemas et modeles d'interaction existants doivent etre remplaces, simplifies ou considerablement ameliores, et recourir a des tests d'utilisabilite et a l'experimentation pour trancher sur la base de preuves plutot que d'opinions
Le prouver : collaborer avec les chefs de produit et les developpeurs, et mettre vous-meme la main a la pate avec des outils d'IA, de prototypage, ainsi que du contenu et des donnees reels, afin de construire des prototypes fonctionnels et testables qui demontrent que l'experience tient la route avec de vrais utilisateurs, et pas seulement qu'elle pourrait le faire
Presentez les resultats sous forme d'arguments clairs de type avant/apres , fondes sur des donnees utilisateur, qui mettent en evidence les frictions et rendent l'amelioration de l'experience indeniable, suscitant ainsi une dynamique de changement au sein des equipes
Traduisez les conclusions de la recherche et des preuves en orientations concretes : les modeles d'interaction et l'experience que la plateforme doit adopter a l'avenir, ainsi qu'une feuille de route viable pour y parvenir
Qualifications Minimales
Au moins 5 ans d'experience en pilotage et en conception de produits dans des environnements techniques complexes, avec une solide experience dans l'utilisation du prototypage et des tests pour decouvrir, valider et faire evoluer des solutions
Capacite a agir de maniere autonome dans des contextes ambigus, en definissant une orientation et en faisant avancer les choses avant meme qu'un plan ne lui soit fourni
Excellent jugement en matiere de conception : donne la priorite aux changements d'experience qui creent une reelle valeur tout au long d'un flux de travail, et pas seulement au sein d'un seul ecran ou d'une seule fonctionnalite
Maitrise approfondie de la conception d'interactions, de l'architecture de l'information et des flux de bout en bout, y compris la conception d'experiences en libre-service et d'interactions entre l'humain et l'IA
Aisance pratique avec les outils de conception et de prototypage bases sur l'IA, en les utilisant pour creer et tester les experiences en conditions reelles, et pas seulement pour etablir des specifications
Aisance a travailler a la croisee des domaines produit, ingenierie et experience utilisateur, en faconnant des solutions de bout en bout plutot qu'en se contentant de passer le relais entre les fonctions
Experience en conception orientee flux de travail ou en conception de systemes, plutot qu'en conception axee uniquement sur les fonctionnalites ou purement visuelle
Capacite a transformer les problemes et les insights en experiences tangibles et fonctionnelles, qu'il s'agisse de prototypes ou de demos, et non pas seulement de maquettes, de flux ou de specifications
Capacite a synthetiser les besoins des utilisateurs, le contexte metier et les contraintes techniques pour definir une orientation claire de l'experience
Capacite a influencer les parties prenantes et a creer une cohesion entre les equipes sans s'appuyer sur une autorite formelle
Grande capacite d'apprentissage et aisance a evoluer dans des contextes problematiques ambigus et en constante evolution
Qualifications Souhaitees
Experience dans la creation d'experiences 01 , idealement au sein de produits d'entreprise a forte intensite de flux de travail ou de solutions SaaS entierement nouvelles
Conception de produits bases sur l'IA, y compris des modeles d'interaction entre l'humain et l'IA
Maitrise des systemes de conception, des modeles d'interaction et des garde-fous
