About the role
This is a role for an experience design leader who wants to fundamentally change how the platform works, and can prove it, not just pitch it. You will join a small, AI-native disrupt squad within Autodesk’s Platform Services & Emerging Technologies (PSET) organization, accountable for redefining how the platform is experienced, accessed, and built upon. You won’t be handed a roadmap. You will identify high-leverage opportunities, define what should exist, and demonstrate a dramatically better way through working proofs, using AI, real systems, and rapid experimentation. Your role is not to produce designs and hand them off. On this team, product thinking, experience design, and engineering are rethinking how to work as an AI native delivery team. As the experience-minded AI Builder, you bring deep experience and product design thinking into the what and the why, and you stay close enough to the build that your direction is grounded in something real. In practice, that means building AI-assisted prototypes, shaping demos, and working directly with real flows and data yourself. You do not maintain design specs or operate production systems. You are accountable for turning friction into opportunity and delivering working proofs that make a new experience credible and hard to dismiss.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years driving experience and product design in complex, technical environments, with a strong track record of using prototyping and testing to discover, validate, and evolve solutions
- Acts with agency in ambiguous spaces, setting direction and making progress before anyone hands them a plan
- Strong design judgment: prioritizes the experience changes that create real value across a workflow, not just within a single screen or feature
- Strong craft across interaction design, information architecture, and end-to-end flows, including designing for self-serve and for human plus AI interaction
- Hands-on comfort with AI-enabled design and prototyping tools, using them to build and pressure-test experiences, not only to inform specs
- Comfortable operating across product, engineering, and experience, shaping solutions end-to-end rather than handing off between functions
- Background in workflow-oriented or systems design rather than feature-only or purely visual design
- Turns problems and insight into tangible, working experiences, whether prototypes or demos, not just mockups, flows, or specs
- Ability to synthesize user needs, business context, and technical constraints into a clear experience direction
- Ability to influence stakeholders and build alignment across teams without relying on formal authority
- High learning velocity and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces
- Au moins 5 ans d’expérience en pilotage et en conception de produits dans des environnements techniques complexes, avec une solide expérience dans l’utilisation du prototypage et des tests pour découvrir, valider et faire évoluer des solutions
