Principal Backend Software Developer

Développeur logiciel principal backend

Autodesk is building a shared AI-assisted commerce platform that enables AI copilots and agents to safely discover, recommend, and transact Autodesk offerings. As a Principal Developer you will design and build the core APIs and orchestration layer (MCP) that connects AI systems to Autodesk’s commerce infrastructure—pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, and checkout—with enterprise-grade reliability, security, and governance.

This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, distributed systems, and applied AI enablement.

• Design and implement the runtime and APIs that allow copilots/agents to invoke commerce capabilities safely and consistently (e.g., product discovery → pricing → eligibility/entitlements → checkout)
• Create standardized patterns for tool invocation (idempotency, retries, rate limits, validation), error contracts, and deterministic behaviors suitable for LLM/agent workflows
• Build adapters and service interfaces to existing commerce capabilities (pricing, subscriptions, entitlements, checkout), including backward compatibility and rollout strategies
• 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 (approvals, constraints, and traceability)
• Provide SDKs, documentation, reference implementations, and golden paths so product teams can integrate agents quickly and safely
• Drive architecture decisions across teams, lead design reviews/RFCs, mentor developers, and influence roadmaps across the commerce + AI ecosystem

• 10+ years building and operating production backend/platform systems
• Deep knowledge of distributed systems: scaling, failure modes, consistency, caching, queues/streams, concurrency, idempotency, and back pressure
• Strong backend proficiency in one or more languages (e.g., Java/Kotlin, Node Js), plus strong API design (REST/gRPC) and data modeling
• Experience with cloud‑native systems (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC), and building reliable services with modern observability
• Proven ability to lead cross‑team initiatives through ambiguity, balancing platform correctness, security, and product velocity

• Experience designing platforms for automation/agents (workflow orchestration, tool routing, policy engines, approvals, audit trails)
• Commerce domain exposure: pricing catalogs, subscription lifecycle, entitlement checks, tax/payment/checkout flows
• Multi‑tenant enterprise patterns: tenant isolation, RBAC/ABAC, compliance‑minded logging, data retention
• Experience building internal platforms with adoption metrics, SDKs, and versioned contracts

• AI copilots and agents can reliably and safely complete commerce tasks using your MCP layer (with strong auditability and guardrails)
• Integrations with pricing/subscription/entitlements/checkout become simpler, standardized, and faster for teams to adopt
• Platform reliability improves measurably (SLO attainment, incident reduction, faster recovery) while maintaining strict security and governance

Autodesk développe une plateforme commerciale partagée assistée par l'IA qui permet à des copilotes et agents IA de découvrir, recommander et commercialiser en toute sécurité les offres Autodesk.

En tant que développeur principal, vous concevrez et développerez les API centrales et la couche d'orchestration (MCP) qui relient les systèmes d'IA à l'infrastructure commerciale d'Autodesk — tarification, abonnements, droits d'accès et paiement — avec une fiabilité, une sécurité et une gouvernance de niveau entreprise.

Ce poste se situe à la croisée de l'ingénierie de plateformes, des systèmes distribués et de la mise en œuvre de l'IA appliquée.
