Position Overview

At Autodesk, our Entertainment & Media Solutions (EMS) team helps artists and studios around the world create the extraordinary — from feature films and streaming series to visual effects and animation.

We’re building Flow, Autodesk’s cloud platform that connects people, data, and workflows across the entire production lifecycle — from the earliest concept to final delivery. Within Flow, our Digital Engineering (DE) team focuses on asset management and production tracking — the critical infrastructure that powers modern creative pipelines.

We’re looking for a Distinguished Software Developer to define the next generation of asset management architecture for the media and entertainment industry. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of how creative studios manage, track, and deliver their most valuable assets — while influencing Autodesk’s broader technology direction.

You’ll lead the architectural vision and technical strategy for Autodesk’s asset management systems within Flow. You’ll work across teams and disciplines to solve deeply complex challenges in scalability, data interoperability, and creative collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Define the technical vision for next-generation asset management and production tracking systems for animation, VFX, and episodic content.
• Architect cloud-connected solutions that bridge on-premise creative tools with scalable, cloud-based production workflows.
• Provide technical leadership across multiple engineering teams, guiding design, technology choices, and long-term architectural direction.
• Collaborate closely with product and pipeline experts to ensure our solutions align with real-world studio production needs.
• Mentor and inspire by providing technical leadership to engineering teams and technical leaders that are shaping the next generation of Autodesk technical talent (30‑45 people).
• Partner with executives and senior leaders to influence Autodesk’s overall strategy for media production infrastructure.

Minimum Qualifications

• 15+ years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership of complex, large‑scale systems.
• Deep understanding of asset management or pipeline tracking systems in film, VFX, or animation production environments.
• Familiarity with tools such as Ftrack, Flow, Ayon, or similar systems.
• Strong Python expertise — you understand the language deeply and how it powers studio production workflows.
• Experience with cloud development and distributed systems (AWS or equivalent).
• Conceptual understanding of USD (Universal Scene Description), with practical experience considered a plus.
• Proven ability to lead or influence large teams (40+ engineers or multiple projects).
• Excellent communication and influencing skills — able to work across disciplines and guide both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to translate technical architecture into business impact.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with C++ and familiarity with desktop components.
• Prior experience contributing to the design and evolution of pipeline or production tracking tools.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
