TL;DR

As a Senior ML Engineer at Autodesk, you will join the ML Systems and Infrastructure team to design and scale machine learning systems that enable research and product development across creative industries. Your day-to-day responsibilities include building scalable data pipelines, distributed training systems, and production workflows for foundation models and ML-powered features. You will optimize these systems for performance and cost efficiency while contributing to model deployment, inference services, and monitoring frameworks. Additionally, you will mentor team members through code reviews and design discussions, collaborating closely with researchers and product engineers to ensure robust engineering practices. The ideal candidate has 3-4 years of industry experience in production software, ML infrastructure, and distributed systems, along with strong proficiency in Python and familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP. Experience with data lineage, model deployment, and distributed ML frameworks such as PyTorch is preferred, as well as a background in AEC workflows or Autodesk products.
