Sr. Machine Learning Engineer/Data Scientist

Position Overview

This role can be remote within the U.S. or Canada, though San Francisco is the preferred location.

At GET (Growth Experience Technology), we fuel sustainable growth by rethinking how customers discover, buy, and use Autodesk. Our focus is creating a seamless, data-driven experience that feels simple, predictable, and tailored to customer needs—while also making it easier and more efficient for our teams to support them.

To get there, we're building smarter digital experiences, strengthening our platforms, and making our sales and marketing efforts much more efficient and connected. While the product experience will play a key role, a real unlock will come from the technologies that power better customer insights, more personalized engagement, and faster sales cycles.

Our GET Machine Learning Engineering org is looking for a Sr. level Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer to drive data-informed decisions for Autodesk B2C business. You will play a critical role in helping Autodesk build the eCommerce platforms of the future.

Data Scientists/MLE are both data/research scientists and software engineers, who develop and implement machine learning models and algorithms. Unlike other companies that separate these roles, our Data Scientists work on projects from ideation to implementation.

As a Sr. Data Scientist at Autodesk, you will be responsible for the development and training of cutting-edge machine learning models and algorithms that can effectively leverage our users’ platform activities and industry trends to create personalized recommendations that are delivered to our users at the optimal moment.
