Software Engineer - Education

Position overview 

Autodesk Education Experiences (AEX) empowers the next generation of innovators by providing access to Autodesk tools, learning programs, and certifications. We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to focus on building new product experiences for our education community: students, educators and institutions who are shaping the future of design and make. This is a small, fast-moving team inside Autodesk, working much more like an early-stage product team than a large enterprise engineering group. Our team values curiosity, craftsmanship, and a pragmatic approach to shipping high-quality product experiences end-to-end. As a Software Development Engineer you will contribute to building and shipping education product features that assist in the teaching and learning of Autodesk platforms and design & make products. This role is suited to an engineer who enjoys building real products, not just isolated systems. You should be comfortable working across backend services, integrations, automation, experimentation, and product-facing components when needed. 

Responsibilites

Start strong: you will write production-quality code, maintain and connect systems, and collaborate with cross-functional teammates to deliver education features for Autodesk products. You will help take ideas from early exploration through implementation, launch, and iteration. Typical responsibilities include: 

• Implement backend services APIs, integrations, and product infrastructure that support education product features and platform experiences

• Move quickly from prototype to production, balancing speed, quality, maintainability, and user impact

• Integrate and productize ML/AI solutions in close collaboration with digital experience and platform engineering teams

• Build and maintain automation, plugins or SDKs for CAD platforms (e.g., Fusion, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya), including tooling to support reproducible experiments and product delivery

• Work across product and engineering boundaries, including lightweight frontend integration, data pipelines, service orchestration, experimentation tooling, or internal product workflows when needed

• Work with CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and containerized deployments (Docker), and contribute to observability and reliability of services

• Write robust, well-tested code and participate actively in code reviews and design discussions; follow security and data-handling best practices

• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, researchers, frontend engineers, ML engineers, and platform teams to turn ambiguous problems into shipped features

• Document designs, APIs, runbooks and hand-off materials to product teams, and help onboard other engineers to the codebase

• Contribute to team culture by sharing
