About the role

  • Principal Engineer at Autodesk building core APIs and orchestration layer for AI-assisted commerce. Ensuring enterprise-grade reliability, security, and governance through innovative distributed systems practices.

Responsibilities

  • Build the AI-to-commerce orchestration layer (MCP): Design and implement the runtime and APIs that allow copilots/agents to invoke commerce capabilities safely and consistently
  • Define "agent-safe" platform primitives: Create standardized patterns for tool invocation (idempotency, retries, rate limits, validation), error contracts, and deterministic behaviors suitable for LLM/agent workflows
  • Integrate with core commerce systems: Build adapters and service interfaces to existing commerce capabilities (pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, checkout)
  • 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

Requirements

  • 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)
  • Strong API design (REST/gRPC) and data modeling
  • Experience with cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC)
  • Proven ability to lead cross-team initiatives through ambiguity

Benefits

  • annual cash bonuses
  • commissions for sales roles
  • stock grants
  • comprehensive benefits package
