About the Role
Autodesk's Visualization Solutions power high-performance 2D and 3D visualization experiences. A new team in Canada is bringing agentic AI to this experience, expanding our Viewer MCP into a production-grade agentic platform for natural language interaction and as a foundation for other Visualization Solutions teams. As the Principal MCP/AI Developer, you will define and drive the technical direction of this platform, including its capability/tool model, agent-orchestration architecture, trust model, and the evaluation and operation of AI in production. You will tackle complex, ambiguous problems spanning systems, domains, and teams, leveraging deep applied-ML and ML-systems expertise. You will serve as the technical authority, setting the standard for responsible and reliable AI and amplifying the impact of the engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the technical strategy for the agentic platform, including the MCP tool/capability model, agent-orchestration architecture, context/memory, retrieval, and trust model.
- Frame and prioritize high-impact AI problems aligned with product and platform strategy, translating ambiguity into clear, executable plans.
- Establish the evaluation and quality framework for AI systems (accuracy, safety, latency, cost) and practices for fine-tune-vs-prompt and model-selection decisions.
- Set the architecture for trust, including traceability, auditability, reversibility, human-in-the-loop, and confidence signaling as platform-wide standards.
- Lead the design and delivery of large, cross-team initiatives spanning multiple products and services, influencing and aligning teams across the Visualization Solutions Org.
- Drive adoption of shared agentic capabilities, frameworks, and patterns, raising engineering standards and ML maturity across the organization.
- Act as technical authority for critical decisions and trade-offs across performance, scalability, cost, and developer experience.
- Mentor senior engineers, partner with Product/UX/Applied AI on the long-term roadmap, and remain hands-on in critical system areas.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science / Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 8–12+ years of software engineering experience, including significant work on large-scale or platform systems.
- Deep, hands-on experience building and operating AI/ML systems in production (LLMs, agents, orchestration, RAG), including evaluation, model selection, and fine-tune-vs-prompt trade-offs.
- Expert proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern web technologies.
- Strong architecture skills across distributed systems, APIs, and composable services.
- Proven ability to lead cross-team technical initiatives and influence without direct authority.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently in highly ambiguous problem spaces.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
