Position Overview


We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Engineer to lead the design, development, and evolution of our Batch Processing platform , which powers Autodesk’s Analytics Data Platform (ADP).

This role requires deep technical expertise in distributed data systems, large-scale pipeline orchestration, and hands-on leadership in shaping next-generation data platform capabilities.

You will partner closely with Engineering Managers, Architects, Product teams, and Partner Engineering to modernize our data lakehouse architecture, deliver highly reliable data pipelines, and establish technical excellence across ingestion, processing, and governance.


Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

  • Define and drive the technical strategy for Batch Processing within ADP
  • Design and scale PySpark based distributed processing frameworks integrated with Airflow for orchestration
  • Champion Apache Iceberg-based data lakehouse adoption (versioning, branching, WAP, indexing)
  • Introduce performance optimization patterns for data pipelines (e.g., partition pruning, caching, resource tuning)
  • Establish patterns for metadata-driven, intent-based data processing aligned with AI-assisted pipelines


Architecture & Delivery

  • Partner with architects to design multi-tenant, secure, and compliant (SOC2/GDPR/CCPA) batch processing services
  • Define reference architectures and reusable frameworks for cross-domain processing workloads
  • Lead technical reviews, solution designs, and architectural forums across ADP
  • Guide the evolution of Airflow APIs and SDKs to enable scalable pipeline self-service


Mentorship & Collaboration

  • Mentor senior engineers, staff engineers, and tech leads within the Batch Processing and adjacent teams
  • Partner with the Batch Ingestion and Data Security teams to deliver unified ingestion + processing flows


Innovation & Impact

  • Drive modernization initiatives to migrate away from legacy tools
  • Pioneer AI-augmented data engineering practices (e.g., pipeline optimization agents, anomaly detection)
  • Ensure scalability, cost-efficiency, and reliability for thousands of production pipelines across Autodesk
  • Influence company-wide data engineering strategy by contributing thought leadership and whitepapers


Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in software/data engineering, with at least 3 years in big data platform leadership roles
  • Expert in distributed data processing (Spark, PySpark, Ray, Flink)
  • Deep experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect)
  • Strong hands-on expertise in Lakehouse technologies (Iceberg, Delta, Hudi) and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP)
  • Proven track record in architecting secure, multi-tenant, and compliant data platforms
  • Skilled in SQL/NoSQL databases, Snowflake, Glue, and modern metadata/catalog tools
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-geo collaboration skills
  • Experience mentoring engineers, building strong technical culture, and influencing at scale


Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to AI/ML-driven data engineering (optimizers, anomaly detection, auto-scaling)
  • Experience with data governance, lineage, and observability tools (Atlan, Databand, Collibra, etc.)
  • Familiarity with streaming + batch hybrid architectures (Kappa/Lambda)
