Join Our Team – Shape the Future of Incident Response at Autodesk

Autodesk’s mission is to empower everyone, everywhere to design and make anything. We secure it.

As our Program Manager for the Security Incident Response department, you’ll be at the nexus of Autodesk’s global IR mission, stitching together data-driven insights, stakeholder input, and cross-regional collaboration into a living, breathing program that keeps pace with today’s threats. You’ll deep-dive into the dashboards you architected to uncover subtle upticks in mean time to detection (prompting playbook tweaks), and then lead Quarterly Business Reviews by weaving SOAR pipeline metrics, Legal and Product feedback, and executive priorities into a concise slide deck that guides our roadmap.

You'll be partnering with Product, Engineering, and Risk stakeholders to blueprint the new Security Onboarding program, mapping out telemetry checkpoints, designing interactive IR workshops for major businesses, and ensuring every product has the right sensors feeding our SIEM. In summary, you combine storytelling, engineering discipline, and global collaboration to continuously raise the bar on incident investigation and organizational learning.
