26WD99177, Principal Software Developer - DatabasesAbout Autodesk Construction Solutions @ AutodeskAutodesk has fully reimagined the construction business for the digital age, enabling companies to address the most important challenges they face today while preparing for new ways of working in the future. The Autodesk Construction Solutions (ACS) portfolio connects the office, trailer, and field, enabling customers to move seamlessly through each phase of the construction lifecycle from design and preconstruction to construction, turnover, and operations. General contractors, subcontractors, and owners around the world rely on ACS to win more work, enhance collaboration, speed up decision‑making, reduce risk, and improve overall project outcomes.
The Structured Record Storage group owns the shared data persistence layer for AEC: automated database fleet management, streaming to warehousing for analytics and ML, and the developer abstractions that decouple service logic from storage technology. We manage the entire database fleet (Postgres and DynamoDB, all production regions), own schema lifecycle from migration through regional deployment, and emit semantic events into Kafka so downstream teams never build raw reconstruction apps. SRS is a platform-grade function. We define the storage standards, enforce them, and build the tooling that makes compliance automatic instead of manual.
Position OverviewAutodesk Construction Solutions is looking for a senior technical contributor who brings deep expertise in cloud data infrastructure and uses it to shape how the division manages structured storage. This role sets technical direction across the SRS platform, from database fleet operations to the API abstractions and event contracts that sit on top, and leads high-impact initiatives end-to-end. You'll operate with significant autonomy, influence architecture decisions across teams, and raise the technical bar for how engineering teams build on shared storage infrastructure.
Responsibilities- Lead design and implementation of high-impact SRS platform capabilities: event platform CDC integration (Kafka), schema automation, Structured Record Access API, fleet management tooling
- Set technical direction for one or more SRS sub-areas: architecture standards, design reviews, raising the bar on how the team builds
- Continuously assess SRS cloud platform needs at scale, identify significant risks and gaps, and drive the roadmap to close them
- Own and improve fleet-wide operations: capacity management, monitoring and alerting, query tuning, load optimization, and data replication for reporting workloads
- Create and institutionalize best practices and health models for the database fleet;
use observability tooling and AWS automation to enforce standards consistently across hundreds of managed databases - Build a high-impact network of storage champions across engineering groups, consult directly with product teams and group leads on storage readiness and risk, and select training opportunities that raise engineering capability division-wide
- Own reliability for what you build: monitoring, runbooks, on-call response, post-incident learning
- Partner with SRS area leadership across managed database platform, DevEx, and data warehousing to sequence work and make cross-team tradeoffs
- Drive migration and schema lifecycle initiatives across the fleet, coordinating with product teams, managing rollout risk, validating rollback coverage
- Mentor P2/P3 engineers;
conduct design and codereviews with real feedback - Represent SRS technical requirements in cross-org forums: architecture review, group leadership
- Provide tactical leadership during production emergencies
- 6+ years of software engineering in a platform, infrastructure, or data engineering context
- 5+ years of Kubernetes architecture at scale
- 7+ years of Terraform experience
- 7+ years of experience with cloud data technologies
- Deep Postgres or DynamoDB experience at scale: fleet-level operations, not application‑level use
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects end‑to‑end: design through production
- Hands‑on Kafka or event streaming experience in production;
bonus if you’ve built CDC pipelines (Postgres binlog, DynamoDB Streams, Debezium) - ORM experience at the framework or platform layer: you’ve built or extended ORM tooling to drive semantic eventing, not just consumed it
- Kubernetes CRD hands‑on experience: designing or operating controllers/operators that manage platform resources
- Strong AWS background: IAM, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, ECS/EKS, multi‑region
- Able to drive technical alignment across opinionated teams;
you’ve gotten three engineers with different opinions to agree on an approach - Infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform) and GitOps deployment experience
- Strong communication and organizational skills;
you can influence outcomes across teams, groups, and leadership
- You’re a self‑starter, comfortable driving work across a distributed group of service owners on different teams
- You’re a fearless problem‑solver and model‑driven thinker
- You embrace big challenges and apply rigorous yet efficient methods to your solutions
- You’re results‑driven, with a strong bias for action and a solid sense of accountability
- Experience building or operating a managed Postgres platform
- Customer Managed Keys (CMK): AWS KMS key policy design, envelope encryption, or CMK rotation in a regulated environment
- Schema catalog, data governance, or data contract experience
- Liquibase or equivalent schema migration tooling experience
- Helm, ArgoCD, or Harness deployment pipeline experience
- Apigee, LLM proxy, or API gateway platform experience
- FedRAMP/IL4 compliance context in a cloud environment

- Collaborer avec les responsables du domaine SRS (plateforme de bases de données gérées, DevEx et entrepôts de données) pour hiérarchiser les tâches et trouver des compromis entre les équipes
- Piloter les initiatives de migration et de gestion du cycle de vie des schémas à l’échelle du parc, en coordination avec les équipes produit, en gérant les risques de déploiement et en validant la couverture des retours en arrière
- Encadrer les ingénieurs de niveaux P2/P3 ;
mener des revues de conception et de code avec des retours constructifs - Représenter les exigences techniques de SRS dans les forums inter‑organisation : revues d’architecture, direction des groupes

- Expérience pratique de Kafka ou du streaming d’événements en production ;
un atout si vous avez développé des pipelines CDC (binlog Postgres, DynamoDB Streams, Debezium) - Expérience des ORM au niveau du framework ou de la plateforme : vous avez développé ou étendu des outils ORM pour piloter la gestion sémantique des événements, et non pas simplement les utilisé
