About the Role

This role is for an experience design leader who wants to fundamentally change how the platform works and can prove it. You will join a small, AI-native disrupt squad within Autodesk’s Platform Services & Emerging Technologies (PSET) organization, redefining how the platform is experienced, accessed, and built upon. You will identify high-leverage opportunities, define what should exist, and demonstrate a dramatically better way through working proofs using AI, real systems, and rapid experimentation. Your role involves product thinking, experience design, and engineering as an AI-native delivery team, bringing deep experience and product design thinking into the 'what' and 'why', while staying close enough to the build for direction to be grounded in reality. This includes building AI-assisted prototypes, shaping demos, and working directly with real flows and data. You are accountable for turning friction into opportunity and delivering working proofs that make a new experience credible and hard to dismiss.

Responsibilities

Research how people actually work across the platform using discovery interviews, journey mapping, and behavioral signals to surface seams, bottlenecks, and handoffs.
Define what should exist, turning research insights into clear experience direction and prioritizing opportunities where a better interaction model creates outsized value.
Actively question whether existing flows, patterns, and interaction models should be replaced, simplified, or improved, using usability testing and experimentation to settle decisions on evidence.
Partner with PMs and developers, and get hands-on with AI tools, prototyping tools, and real content/data to build working, testable prototypes.
Package results as clear 'before vs after' proof points, grounded in user evidence, to make friction visible and the better experience undeniable.
Translate research and proofs into direction for interaction patterns and experience the platform should adopt, and a viable path to get there.

Requirements

5+ years driving experience and product design in complex, technical environments, with a strong track record of using prototyping and testing to discover, validate, and evolve solutions.
Acts with agency in ambiguous spaces, setting direction and making progress before receiving a plan.
Strong design judgment, prioritizing experience changes that create real value across a workflow.
Strong craft across interaction design, information architecture, and end-to-end flows, including designing for self-serve and human-AI interaction.
Hands-on comfort with AI-enabled design and prototyping tools, using them to build and pressure-test experiences.
Comfortable operating across product, engineering, and experience, shaping solutions end-to-end.
Background in workflow-oriented or systems design rather than feature-only or purely visual design.
Turns problems and insight into tangible, working experiences, whether prototypes or demos, not just mockups, flows, or specs.
Ability to synthesize user needs, business context, and technical constraints into a clear experience direction.
Ability to influence stakeholders and build alignment across teams without relying on formal authority.
High learning velocity and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces.
Experience working on 0→1 experiences, ideally in workflow-heavy enterprise products or greenfield SaaS.
Designed for AI-enabled products, including patterns for human plus AI interaction.
Familiarity with design systems, interaction patterns, and guardrails.
Exposure to evaluative and usability research, and using outcomes to guide decisions.
