Principal Full Stack AI Engineer (LLMs, Agentic AI & React/Typescript)

Position Overview
 

The DMD team builds AI agents that help Autodesk users work with design and manufacturing data access and collaboration. You'll contribute across the full stack — backend agent logic and the React/TypeScript UIs that surface it to users.

Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver full-stack features across backend agent services and the React/TypeScript UI, from architecture through production operation.

• Drive technical decisions on system architecture, agent behavior, tooling, and developer experience

• Own production reliability, security, and observability

• Mentor teammates and set quality standards across the codebase, including testing, security, and operational rigor.

• Own features end-to-end from design through deployment and ongoing operation.

Minimum Qualifications

• 10-14 years of software engineering experience, with a track record of delivering large-scale production systems

• Hands-on experience with LLM application patterns: tool use, streaming responses, multi-turn conversation, and context/session management

• Production experience with at least one agent framework (e.g. Strands Agents, LangGraph, AutoGen) and/or MCP (Model Context Protocol) or A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocols

• Proficient in Python/Java — async patterns, testing, clean module design

• Experience building and deploying REST/streaming APIs on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, Secrets Manager)

• Production experience with React and TypeScript

• Experience hardening AI/agent systems for production: authorization boundaries, dependency resilience (retries, timeouts, circuit breakers), and observability (metrics, tracing, structured logging)

• Comfortable leading in a polyglot monorepo

• Actively uses AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as part of daily workflow

• Strong communication skills — able to drive trade-off discussions and work autonomously in a small team

Nice to have

• Familiarity with RAG pipelines or vector search (embeddings, semantic similarity thresholds)

• Prompt engineering / system prompt design experience

• Experience with spec-driven development workflows (e.g. OpenSpec)
