Senior Software Developer, Ai/ml

Autodesk Autodesk · Enterprise · Toronto, ON +1

Autodesk's Applied AI team is seeking a Senior Software Developer to build and ship production-grade cloud-native Agentic AI applications. This hands-on architecture role involves designing core platform patterns, writing production code, and integrating agents with internal/external services. The role requires experience in delivering AI/ML systems in production, proficiency in Python/TypeScript/Java, and experience with AI coding tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and ship production-grade cloud-native Agentic AI applications that are resilient, performant, and can scale well in production
  2. Fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy large language models in production environments
  3. Implement evaluation + observability standards (regression tests, monitoring, feedback loops)
  4. Integrate agents with internal/external services using MCP-based integrations or equivalent tool/context integration pattern
  5. Partner with product managers, architects, developers, and data scientists to bring AI features to life in Autodesk products

Skills

Required

  • Hands-on experience with AWS and SageMaker for scalable training and deployment
  • Contributions to open-source AI projects or publications in the field
  • Experience with emerging Agentic AI solutions such as LangGraph, CrewAI, A2A, Opik Comet, or equivalents

What the JD emphasized

  • shipping Scalable, Cloud-Native AI Applications to production
  • build for reliability, quality, and impact
  • AI-assisted engineering
  • own correctness, security, and maintainability
  • rigorous verification (tests, CI, code review)
  • security-aware usage

Other signals

  • shipping production-grade cloud-native Agentic AI applications
  • design core platform patterns and also write code that lands in production
  • build for reliability, quality, and impact
  • AI-assisted engineering
