Senior Full-Stack Staff Engineer

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
