About this role
Job Requisition ID # 26WD98731 Position Overview 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. This engineer will operate as a senior technical leader within the team, partnering closely with engineering managers, product managers, architects, XD, platform teams, and partner engineering teams. 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. The role requires someone who can go deep technically, simplify complex systems, lead ambiguous initiatives, and influence engineers across multiple teams without relying on direct authority.
