Autodesk's Design and Make Platformhelpsmillions of designers, engineers, builders, and creators turn ideas into real-world outcomes. The Visualization Services team builds the cloud infrastructure that enables customers to view and interact with large, complex 3D models smoothly on any device across Autodesk products. Imagine loading a multi-gigabyte 3D model in your browser and interacting with it within seconds. That is the experience our teammakespossible. We process,optimize, store, cache, and stream 3D model data so customers can explore complex designs without specialized local hardware. We are looking for aSenior Software Engineerto own and deliver complex modules within our visualization services. You will work with system architects, principal engineers, and client-rendering teams to build richer viewing capabilities, improve performance and resiliency at scale, and solve demanding distributed systems and algorithmic problems. You will report to the Senior Software Development Manager based in Toronto. How You Work • Result Oriented:You finish the job, then look for the next 10x improvement. • Continuous Learner:You explorenew technologies, measure their impact, and share what you learn. • AI-Enabled Engineer:You use AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to improve coding, testing, review, automation, and team productivity. • Build Trust:You communicate clearly, surface risks and trade-offs early, and follow through. • Team Player:You foster inclusive dialogue, seek diverse perspectives, and celebrate collective wins. Key Responsibilities • Independently design, build, andmaintaincomplex modulesof our streaming services, using sound judgment on problems with diverse scope and significant unknowns. • Owncomponents or initiatives end to end: drive execution, apply solid engineering practices, meet quality and operational standards, and collaborate with key stakeholders. • Operate what you build:deploy and run services onAWSacross multiple regions, primarily usingECS/EC2, with supporting services such asS3, DynamoDB, SQS,ElastiCache/Redis, Lambda, and CloudFront. • Improveperformance and resiliencythrough caching and eviction strategies, retry and dead-letter recovery, memory-mapped or pager-based data access, and scaling policies, measuring impact with concrete data. • Troubleshoot and root-cause production issues with limited supervision;participatein incident response and drive follow-up improvements. • Contribute todesign and architecturediscussions, bring technology ideas to the team, and provide input into technical planning, roadmap discussions, and team goals. • Act as amultiplier within the team: review code, share knowledge, mentor more junior engineers, and help raise the bar on engineering practices. • Identifyopportunities toautomate, simplify, and remove inefficiency, including through thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools and agents. • Occasionally helpfacilitateteam rituals, planning, ordeliverycoordination.
