About the role
Autodesk's Developer Advocacy & Support team evangelizes, enables, and supports developers building solutions on Autodesk Platform Services (APS) and related Autodesk APIs. The team blends hands-on engineering, learning content creation, and technical support to accelerate partner and customer success on Autodesk's cloud API platform. This role will build sample applications, SDKs, and reference implementations, produce tutorials and demos, and provide technical support and triage for partners and customers integrating APS APIs.
What you will do
- Create high-quality sample applications, SDKs, and reference code demonstrating best practices.
- Produce developer-facing content: tutorials, how-to guides, blog posts, and short demos for community and events.
- Provide technical support and triage for partners and customers integrating APS APIs; reproduce issues, and coordinate fixes with engineering.
- Work with product and engineering teams to influence API design, improve developer experience, and maintain runbooks and onboarding flows.
- Deliver reference implementations and example code for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers/clients so agents and tools can safely access Autodesk data.
- Leverage generative AI tools to accelerate developer deliverables (e.g., prototypes, sample generation, documentation drafts), while ensuring quality and security of outputs.

- 5+ years software engineering or developer-facing experience (web/cloud/native).
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, SDKs, and modern web/cloud stacks; ability to produce clean, tested sample code.
- Strong understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth2 flows, service accounts) and secure integration practices.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and comfort presenting to technical audiences.
Preferred qualifications
- Prior developer advocacy, developer support, or partner-facing engineering experience.
- Experience with APS/Forge, or familiarity with Autodesk product APIs (Revit, ACC/BIM Automation, Fusion).
