26WD100467, AI Builder, Principal Experience Designer

Position Overview

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.

Responsibilities

  • Research how people actually work across the platform, using discovery interviews, journey mapping, and behavioral signals to surface the seams, bottlenecks, and handoffs that make it harder to use than it should be

  • Define what should exist, turning research insights into a clear experience direction and prioritizing the few opportunities where a better interaction model creates outsized value for customers and the business

  • Decide what to challenge: actively question whether existing flows, patterns, and interaction models should be replaced, simplified, or significantly improved, and use usability testing and experimentation to settle it on evidence rather than opinion

  • Prove it: partner with PMs and developers, and get hands-on yourself with AI tools, prototyping tools, and real content and data, to build working, testable prototypes that show the experience holds up with real users, not just that it could

  • Package the results as clear “before vs after” proof points, grounded in user evidence, that make friction visible and the better experience undeniable, creating pull for change across teams

  • Translate what the research and proofs reveal into direction: the interaction patterns and experience the platform should adopt next, and a viable path to get there

Minimum Qualifications

  • 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

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working on 0→1 experiences, ideally in workflow-heavy enterprise products or greenfield SaaS

  • Designed for AI-enabled products, including patterns for human plus AI interaction

  • Familiarity with design systems, interaction patterns, and guardrails

  • Exposure to evaluative and usability research, and using outcomes to guide decisions

26WD100467, AI Builder, Concepteur principal d'expérience utilisateur

Aperçu du Poste

Ce poste s'adresse à un responsable de l'expérience utilisateur qui souhaite transformer en profondeur le fonctionnement de la plateforme et qui est capable de le prouver, et non pas seulement d'en faire la promotion. Vous rejoindrez une petite équipe innovante, spécialisée dans l'IA, au sein de l'organisation Platform Services & Emerging Technologies (PSET) d'Autodesk. Vous serez chargé(e) de redéfinir la manière dont la plateforme est perçue, accessible et développée.

On ne vous remettra pas de feuille de route toute faite. Vous identifierez les opportunités à fort impact, définirez ce qui devrait exister et démontrerez une approche nettement plus efficace grâce à des preuves de concept, en utilisant l’IA, des systèmes réels et une expérimentation rapide.

Votre rôle ne consiste pas à produire des conceptions pour ensuite les transmettre à d’autres. Au sein de cette équipe, la réflexion produit, la conception d’expérience et l’ingénierie repensent la manière de travailler en tant qu’équipe de développement native de l’IA. En tant que développeur IA axé sur l’expérience, vous apportez une expertise approfondie et une approche de conception produit pour définir le « quoi » et le « pourquoi », tout en restant suffisamment proche du développement pour que vos orientations s’appuient sur des éléments concrets. Concrètement, cela implique de créer des prototypes assistés par l’IA, de mettre au point des démonstrations et de travailler vous-même directement avec des flux et des données réels.

Vous ne gérez pas les spécifications de conception ni les systèmes de production. Vous êtes chargé(e) de transformer les frictions en opportunités et de fournir des preuves de concept fonctionnelles qui rendent une nouvelle expérience crédible et difficile à ignorer.

Responsabilités

  • Étudier la manière dont les utilisateurs travaillent réellement sur la plateforme, à l’aide d’entretiens exploratoires, de cartographie des parcours et de signaux comportementaux, afin de mettre en évidence les ruptures, les goulots d’étranglement et les transferts qui rendent l’utilisation plus difficile qu’elle ne devrait l’être

  • Définir ce qui devrait exister, en transformant les conclusions de la recherche en une orientation claire pour l’expérience utilisateur et en donnant la priorité aux quelques opportunités où un meilleur modèle d’interaction crée une valeur exceptionnelle pour les clients et l’entreprise

  • Décider ce qu’il faut remettre en question : se demander activement si les flux, schémas et modèles d’interaction existants doivent être remplacés, simplifiés ou considérablement améliorés, et recourir à des tests d’utilisabilité et à l’expérimentation pour trancher sur la base de preuves plutôt que d’opinions

  • Le prouver : collaborer avec les chefs de produit et les développeurs, et mettre vous-même la main à la pâte avec des outils d’IA, de prototypage, ainsi que du contenu et des données réels, afin de construire des prototypes fonctionnels et testables qui démontrent que l’expérience tient la route avec de vrais utilisateurs, et pas seulement qu’elle pourrait le faire

  • Présentez les résultats sous forme d’arguments clairs de type « avant/après », fondés sur des données utilisateur, qui mettent en évidence les frictions et rendent l’amélioration de l’expérience indéniable, suscitant ainsi une dynamique de changement au sein des équipes

  • Traduisez les conclusions de la recherche et des preuves en orientations concrètes : les modèles d’interaction et l’expérience que la plateforme doit adopter à l’avenir, ainsi qu’une feuille de route viable pour y parvenir

Qualifications Minimales

  • 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

  • Capacité à agir de manière autonome dans des contextes ambigus, en définissant une orientation et en faisant avancer les choses avant même qu’un plan ne lui soit fourni

  • Excellent jugement en matière de conception : donne la priorité aux changements d’expérience qui créent une réelle valeur tout au long d’un flux de travail, et pas seulement au sein d’un seul écran ou d’une seule fonctionnalité

  • Maîtrise approfondie de la conception d’interactions, de l’architecture de l’information et des flux de bout en bout, y compris la conception d’expériences en libre-service et d’interactions entre l’humain et l’IA

  • Aisance pratique avec les outils de conception et de prototypage basés sur l’IA, en les utilisant pour créer et tester les expériences en conditions réelles, et pas seulement pour établir des spécifications

  • Aisance à travailler à la croisée des domaines produit, ingénierie et expérience utilisateur, en façonnant des solutions de bout en bout plutôt qu’en se contentant de passer le relais entre les fonctions

  • Expérience en conception orientée flux de travail ou en conception de systèmes, plutôt qu’en conception axée uniquement sur les fonctionnalités ou purement visuelle

  • Capacité à transformer les problèmes et les insights en expériences tangibles et fonctionnelles, qu’il s’agisse de prototypes ou de démos, et non pas seulement de maquettes, de flux ou de spécifications

  • Capacité à synthétiser les besoins des utilisateurs, le contexte métier et les contraintes techniques pour définir une orientation claire de l’expérience

  • Capacité à influencer les parties prenantes et à créer une cohésion entre les équipes sans s’appuyer sur une autorité formelle

  • Grande capacité d’apprentissage et aisance à évoluer dans des contextes problématiques ambigus et en constante évolution

Qualifications Souhaitées

  • Expérience dans la création d’expériences « 0→1 », idéalement au sein de produits d’entreprise à forte intensité de flux de travail ou de solutions SaaS entièrement nouvelles

  • Conception de produits basés sur l’IA, y compris des modèles d’interaction entre l’humain et l’IA

  • Maîtrise des systèmes de conception, des modèles d’interaction et des garde-fous

  • Expérience en matière de recherche évaluative et d’ergonomie, et capacité à utiliser les résultats pour orienter les décisions
