The Principal Data Scientist at Autodesk’s Experience Foundations team will work on building frameworks to evaluate AI systems within a next-generation agentic product platform. This role involves designing predictive models to analyze user behavior and intent across multi-agent workflows, establishing data instrumentation standards for agent-based systems, and developing analytical tools to optimize non-deterministic user experiences driven by AI agents. The ideal candidate has 8+ years of experience in data science or applied machine learning, with expertise in predictive modeling, LLMs, and production settings involving vector databases and RAG systems. They will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to integrate predictive intelligence into decision-making systems and guide experimentation strategies for agent performance. This role requires a deep understanding of data architecture and system scalability, as well as the ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical solutions while working autonomously and effectively across cross-functional teams.
