Senior Software Engineer, Streaming Platform

26WD102022

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and operate Autodesk’s streaming data platform. You’ll work with engineers and partner teams to make real-time data processing reliable, scalable, cost-effective, and straightforward for product teams to use.

We expect an AI-native approach to engineering: using AI tools thoughtfully throughout design, development, testing, and operations, while applying sound judgment to the results. You’ll contribute across the platform lifecycle and help set technical direction, support other engineers, and collaborate with teams that depend on streaming data.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate scalable streaming data services and pipelines using Flink, Kafka, Java and Spring Boot
• Apply AI tools across the software development lifecycle to improve engineering speed and quality, with appropriate review and validation
• Improve the reliability, availability, performance, and cost efficiency of the platform
• Contribute to platform capabilities that make it easier for teams to onboard, develop, deploy, and manage streaming applications
• Participate in architecture and design reviews, explaining trade-offs and identifying operational risks
• Investigate production issues, contribute to incident resolution, and turn lessons learned into lasting improvements
• Work with partner engineering teams to understand their needs and deliver practical, well-supported solutions
• Raise engineering quality through code reviews, testing, documentation, and thoughtful technical decisions
• Mentor engineers and share knowledge across the team

Minimum Qualifications

• 5 to 8 years of experience in designing, building, and operating production software systems
• Strong Java development skills and experience building services with Spring Boot
• Hands-on AWS experience building and operating production workloads. AWS is a must-have for this role
• Experience with distributed systems and data streaming concepts, such as event processing, delivery guarantees, ordering, partitioning, and back-pressure
• Experience diagnosing complex production issues and improving system reliability
• An AI-native engineering mindset: practical experience using AI tools in software development, with the ability to assess, verify, and take responsibility for AI-assisted work
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams and disciplines
• Sound judgment when balancing delivery, maintainability, reliability, and cost

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Apache Kafka or similar event streaming platforms
• Experience with Apache Flink or other stream processing frameworks
• Experience in data engineering, including data pipelines, data integration, or large-scale data processing
• Familiarity with SDD (spec-driven development) and using specifications to guide implementation and validation
• Experience building internal platforms, self-service tools, or developer-facing infrastructure
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code, CI/CD, monitoring, and incident management

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll help teams use streaming data with confidence by improving the platform’s reliability and usability. You’ll bring a collaborative approach to technical decisions, take ownership of outcomes, and help the team make steady progress on its most important work.
