Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Staff Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership across our web platform and digital experience ecosystem. This role will be responsible for designing, building, and evolving scalable full-stack solutions that power high-quality customer experiences across Autodesk’s web, commerce, and marketing platforms.

This engineer will operate as a senior technical leader within the team, partnering closely with engineering managers, product managers, architects, XD, platform teams, and partner engineering teams. The ideal candidate is not only strong in full-stack development, but also raises engineering standards through architecture, delivery discipline, quality practices, mentorship, and pragmatic decision-making.

The role requires someone who can go deep technically, simplify complex systems, lead ambiguous initiatives, and influence engineers across multiple teams without relying on direct authority.

Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Lead the design and delivery of complex full-stack solutions across frontend, backend, API, and platform integration layers

Provide architectural direction for scalable, maintainable, secure, and high-performing web applications

Drive technical decisions across multiple services, repositories, and shared components

Translate business and product requirements into clear technical designs, execution plans, and delivery milestones

Identify architectural gaps, technical debt, and platform limitations, and propose pragmatic solutions

Partner with senior engineers and architects to define patterns for reusable components, service integration, API contracts, observability, and deployment practices

Full-Stack Engineering & Delivery
Build and guide development of modern web experiences using technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, REST/GraphQL APIs, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines

Own critical technical deliverables from design through implementation, validation, release, and post-production monitoring

Ensure solutions are production-ready, with strong attention to scalability, performance, reliability, accessibility, localization, security, and maintainability

Lead technical breakdown of large initiatives into well-scoped epics, stories, dependencies, and implementation plans

Support teams in resolving complex production issues, integration challenges, and cross-system dependencies

Engineering Quality, Testing & Reliability
Raise the engineering quality bar by embedding testability, automation, and observability into the development lifecycle

Define expectations for unit, integration, functional, E2E, and production validation strategies

Champion quality gates across CI/CD, including automated testing, code coverage, smoke testing, monitoring, and release readiness

Drive improvements in web performance, including Core Web Vitals, page load time, bundle optimization, caching strategies, and API efficiency

Ensure critical customer journeys are measurable, observable, and resilient in production

Developer Experience & Engineering Productivity
Improve developer productivity by simplifying local development, debugging, testing, deployment, and operational workflows

Build or influence reusable frameworks, shared libraries, tooling, and documentation that help multiple engineers move faster with confidence

Reduce engineering friction by identifying repeated pain points and creating scalable solutions

Promote consistent engineering practices across repositories and teams

Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with Product, XD, Program, Content, Marketing, DevOps, Security, Data/Analytics, and partner engineering teams to deliver end-to-end business outcomes

Drive alignment across multiple teams when requirements, architecture, dependencies, or delivery plans are unclear

Communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders

Help leadership make informed decisions by presenting options, risks, mitigation plans, and recommended paths forward

Mentorship & Bar Raising
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and delivery execution

Raise the technical bar by modeling strong ownership, judgment, engineering discipline, and customer-focused thinking

Influence engineering culture by promoting high standards in architecture, quality, documentation, reliability, and operational readiness

Act as a force multiplier for the team by enabling others to deliver better, faster, and with more confidence

Minimum Qualifications
10+ years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on expertise in full-stack web application development

Deep experience with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, or similar frameworks

Strong backend development experience with Node.js, Java, Python, or similar technologies

Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, microservices, or distributed systems

Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple engineers, teams, services, or repositories

Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility, security, scalability, reliability, and observability

Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, production deployments, and release validation

Strong system design skills and ability to make sound architectural trade-offs

Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction without direct authority

Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical topics to engineering and business stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications
Experience building or modernizing large-scale web platforms, commerce platforms, marketing technology platforms, or customer-facing digital experiences

Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

Experience with Content Management Systems, experimentation platforms, personalization, analytics instrumentation, or commerce checkout flows

Experience with micro-frontends, monorepos, shared component libraries, design systems, or platform engineering

Experience improving developer experience, engineering productivity, and CI/CD automation in large organizations

Experience with observability tools such as Dynatrace, Catchpoint, Splunk, Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar platforms

Experience driving quality improvements through E2E automation, performance testing, monitoring, and production readiness practices

Exposure to AI-assisted engineering, developer productivity tooling, or agentic engineering workflows is a plus
