Description
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.
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.
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
