Job Requisition ID # 26WD96379
Position Overview The Director of Engineering for AI Platform is accountable for the modern, AI-first experience layer that defines Autodesk’s unified, workflow-first front experience.
This leader is responsible for the AI Platform experience stack — including the agentic experience surface, workflow orchestration canvas, and dynamic interfaces. The mandate is to deliver a cohesive, intelligent, and trustworthy end-to-end experience that turns user intent into outcomes across products and domains.
This is not a feature leadership role. It is platform-level experience leadership. The Director ensures that modern engineering practices, AI-native architectures, and cross-product orchestration come together as a single, coherent system.
The role requires deep collaboration with Product and Experience (Design). A strong product mindset is essential, and prior product management experience is preferred.
You’ll work with teammates across the globe and will travel up to 15% of the time for face-to-face meetings like conferences, team offsites, and team visits. This role is hybrid, remote, or in office based in the US.
