Position Overview
The work we do at Autodesk touches nearly every person on the planet. By creating software tools for making buildings, machines, and even the latest movies, we influence and empower some of the most creative people in the world to solve problems that matter.
As a MLOps Developers for AEC you will be working side-by-side with world-class AI researchers to build and scale foundation models trained on design data. You will focus on overcoming the challenges associated with large-scale model training and processing of vast amounts of diverse design data. Your expertise in distributed systems, ML infrastructure, and data engineering will be crucial in developing the next generation of ML-powered product features that will help our customers imagine, design, and make a better world.
You'll be joining a rapidly growing team working on a project that aims to revolutionize the design of nearly every aspect of the built environment. Your contributions will directly influence how designers, architects, and engineers interact with AI tools in the future.
This role is fully remote-friendly. Our team operates primarily remotely with team members distributed across the globe, with offices in Boston, Toronto and other locations in US and Canada. At Autodesk, we embrace remote work while fostering connection through regular team offsites for collaborative planning and relationship building. This balanced approach ensures you can work where you're most productive while maintaining meaningful connections with colleagues.
