Software Architect

Position Overview

Autodesk Fusion Industry Cloud (FIC) is scaling its analytics platform to deliver trustworthy product-usage insights and operational “system state” signals across experiences, services, and pipelines. This role is a senior technical leader responsible for end-to-end architecture, standards, and long-term technical direction for analytics reporting and System State Reporting (SSR). You will align multiple teams on a coherent design that is observable, testable, and scalable.

In this role, you’ll help build the data and telemetry foundations that teams rely on to make product decisions, improve reliability, and accelerate innovation. You’ll partner across engineering, data, and product to turn ambiguous problems into practical, measurable systems.
 

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture for FIC analytics + System State Reporting (SSR), including ingestion, validation, enrichment, storage, and consumption

• Define a scalable approach for standardizing analytics event reporting across clients and services (schema/fields/taxonomy and versioning)

• Drive design reviews, decision logs, and technical roadmaps; communicate tradeoffs and align stakeholders

• Establish governance for analytics quality: validation strategy (compile-time vs runtime), fail-fast patterns, and measurable quality SLAs

• Define observability requirements for analytics pipelines (health signals, outage history, stakeholder visibility) and integration points with dashboards and BI tools

• Partner with global engineering teams to ensure clear ownership boundaries and predictable delivery

• Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through coaching, design feedback, and reference implementations

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with 3+ years in a system architecture / technical leadership role

• Strong experience designing distributed systems or data pipelines end-to-end (data contracts, quality controls, monitoring)

• Proven ability to write and review production code (one or more of: C++, Java, Python, TypeScript)

• Experience defining and evolving schemas/contracts with backward compatibility and migration plans

• Excellent communication: can align multiple teams, document decisions, and influence without authority

• Experience with telemetry/analytics event pipelines and “data quality by design” practices

• Familiarity with ETL/ELT tooling and patterns (batch pipelines, CDC, connectors, transformations)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building “developer productivity” enforcement systems (PR gating, automated checks, linters, CI validation)

• Experience with Snowflake and BI ecosystems (e.g., Looker, PowerBI) and building data products for broad internal stakeholders

The Ideal Candidate

• Models “One Autodesk” by uniting teams around shared outcomes and building trusted cross-team partnerships

• Communicates with clarity and honesty; surfaces risks early and drives alignment through transparency

• Brings an optimistic, learning-oriented mindset-uses data and feedback loops to improve systems

• Relentless about quality and operational excellence; defines measurable outcomes and follows through

• Brave and ingenious in solving hard problems - pragmatic, but willing to challenge the status quo
