Job Requisition ID # 25WD94061 25WD94061, Software Architect, Applied AI French translation to follow/Traduction française à suivre Position Overview If you love building real systems that real customers use—and you get genuinely excited about LLMs, RAG, MCP, and agentic architectures—this role is for you. The Applied AI team in Autodesk's Data and Process Management (DPM) organization ships Cloud-Native AI agents that make our Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) workflows smarter and easier. This is a hands‑on architecture role where you'll design core platform patterns and also write code that lands in production. We're looking for a modern builder: Ambitious, Curious, and Practical—someone who has already shipped scalable, Cloud‑Native AI Applications to production and wants to level up further. You might have expertise in GenAI Applications, or you might have shipped traditional Machine Learning applications (recommendations, forecasting, anomaly detection) at scale and are ready to go all‑in on agentic architectures. Either way, you build for reliability, quality, and impact. Responsibilities Architect and build scalable, secure cloud-native services and Agentic AI workflows that run in production Own the GenAI/ML architecture for production agentic systems: tool‑use, orchestration, state/memory, routing, and multi‑step workflows Define model strategy across prompting, retrieval (RAG), and fine‑tuning—making tradeoffs using measurable quality, latency, safety, and cost Standardize tool/context integrations across internal systems using MCP‑based patterns (or equivalent approaches), enabling teams to ship faster on a shared foundation Establish evaluation + observability standards (regression tests, monitoring, feedback loops) Set technical direction via reference architectures, best practices, and hands‑on technical guidance across teams Partner closely with Product, Security/Privacy, and Engineering leaders to deliver high‑impact features Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience 8+ years building cloud-native software in production (distributed systems, APIs, data‑intensive services, reliability and operations) 4+ years delivering AI/ML‑powered system in production Traditional ML cloud applications (training pipelines, deployment, monitoring, iteration) LLM‑based systems (RAG, MCP, Agent workflows, fine‑tuned models) Experience with MCP or similar standardized patterns for connecting models to tools and context Experience with deploying and maintaining AI Applications in production reliably, monitoring performance, and improving over time Proficiency in Python/TypeScript/Java with strong engineering fundamentals (testing, code quality, performance, security) Strong communication skills: you can explain tradeoffs clearly and influence decisions without relying on authority Preferred Qualifications Deep experience designing AI evaluation pipelines and production release strategies for AI Applications Experience with AWS/Azure/GCP and modern platform practices (containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability) Experience in PLM/PDM, manufacturing, CAD, or enterprise workflow software Open‑source contributions, publications, or talks related to distributed systems, ML or GenAI systems 25WD94061, Architecte logiciel, IA appliquée Aperçu du poste Si vous aimez créer des systèmes réels utilisés par de vrais clients et que vous êtes passionné par les LLM, les RAG, les MCP et les architectures agentiques, ce poste est fait pour vous. L'équipe Applied AI de l'organisation Data and Process Management (DPM) d'Autodesk fournit des agents IA natifs du cloud qui rendent nos workflows de gestion des données produit (PDM) et de gestion du cycle de vie des produits (PLM) plus intelligents et plus faciles. Il s'agit d'un poste d'architecte pratique dans lequel vous concevrez des modèles de plate‑forme de base et écrirez également du code qui sera utilisé en production. Nous recherchons un développeur moderne : ambitieux, curieux et pragmatique, qui a déjà déployé des applications d'IA cloud natives et évolutives en production et qui souhaite passer au niveau supérieur. Vous avez peut-être une expertise dans les applications GenAI, ou vous avez peut-être déjà déployé des applications traditionnelles de machine learning (recommandations, prévisions, détection d'anomalies) à grande échelle et êtes prêt à vous lancer à fond dans les architectures agentiques. Dans tous les cas, vous construisez dans un souci de fiabilité, de qualité et d'impact. Responsabilités Concevoir et construire des services cloud natifs évolutifs et sécurisés ainsi que des workflows d'IA agentique qui fonctionnent en production Maîtriser l'architecture GenAI/ML pour les systèmes agentics de production : utilisation des outils, orchestration, état/mémoire, routage et workflows en plusieurs étapes Définir la stratégie du modèle en matière de prompting, de récupération (RAG) et de réglage fin, en faisant des compromis sur la base de critères mesurables tels que la qualité, la latence, la sécurité et le coût. Standardiser les intégrations d'outils/de contextes dans les systèmes internes à l'aide de modèles basés sur MCP (ou d'approches équivalentes), afin de permettre aux équipes de livrer plus rapidement sur une base commune. Établir des normes d'évaluation et d'observabilité (tests de régression, surveillance, boucles de rétroaction). Définir l'orientation technique via des architectures de référence, des bonnes pratiques et des conseils techniques pratiques pour toutes les équipes Travailler en étroite collaboration avec les responsables des produits, de la sécurité/confidentialité et de l'ingénierie afin de fournir des fonctionnalités à fort impact Qualifications minimales Licence ou master en informatique, apprentissage automatique, science des données ou expérience pratique équivalente Plus de 8 ans d'expérience dans le développement de logiciels cloud natifs en production (systèmes distribués, API, services à forte intensité de données, fiabilité et opérations) Plus de 4 ans d'expérience dans la mise en production de systèmes basés sur l'IA/l'apprentissage automatique Applications cloud traditionnelles d'apprentissage automatique (pipelines de formation, déploiement, surveillance, itération) Systèmes basés sur le LLM (RAG, MCP, workflows d'agents, modèles affinés) Expérience avec MCP ou des modèles standardisés similaires pour connecter des modèles à des outils et à un contexte Expérience dans le déploiement et la maintenance fiables d'applications d'IA en production, la surveillance des performances et l'amélioration au fil du temps Maîtrise de Python/TypeScript/Java avec de solides connaissances fondamentales en ingénierie (tests, qualité du code, performances, sécurité) Solides compétences en communication : vous êtes capable d'expliquer clairement les compromis et d'influencer les décisions sans vous appuyer sur votre autorité Qualifications souhaitées Expérience approfondie dans la conception de pipelines d'évaluation de l'IA et de stratégies de mise en production pour les applications d'IA Expérience avec AWS/Azure/GCP et les pratiques modernes en matière de plateformes (conteneurs, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observabilité) Expérience dans les logiciels PLM/PDM, de fabrication, de CAO ou de workflow d'entreprise Contributions open source, publications ou conférences liées aux systèmes distribués, aux systèmes ML ou GenAI Learn More About Autodesk Welcome to Autodesk Amazing things are created every day with our software – from the greenest buildings and cleanest cars to the smartest factories and biggest hit movies.
