Software Development Engineer

Position Overview

As a Software Development Engineer – Process Automation, you will join the Engineering & DevOps Services (EDS) team within AI, Data & Automation (AIDA) at Autodesk. The team focuses on building, operating, and scaling workflow-driven process automations that enable reliable, repeatable execution of enterprise business processes.

In this role, you will work hands-on with n8n, Microsoft Power Automate, and Python-based AWS Lambda functions, integrating enterprise systems through APIs and event-driven workflows. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers to deliver production-grade automations that are secure, observable, and scalable.
We are looking for an entry-level Process Automation Engineer who is passionate about workflow-based automation and system integration. This role is heavily hands-on and focuses on designing, building, operating, and supporting automation workflows rather than traditional application development.

The ideal candidate is comfortable with Python, APIs, and low-code/no-code automation platforms, and is motivated to improve efficiency, reliability, and operational consistency across enterprise systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automation workflows using n8n and Microsoft Power Automate

• Build Python-based AWS Lambda functions to support automation logic, transformations, and integrations

• Integrate automation workflows with internal and external systems using RESTful APIs, webhooks, and events

• Deploy and support automation services using AWS-native patterns and existing CI/CD pipelines

• Monitor automation executions, analyze failures, and participate in incident troubleshooting and resolution

• Write clean, maintainable, and testable Python code following established engineering standards

• Manage workflow configurations, parameters, and mappings using JSON and YAML

• Work closely with senior engineers to understand requirements and translate them into reliable automation solutions

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed automation into end-to-end business processes

• Adhere to governance, security, and responsible-use guidelines when building automation workflows

• Continuously learn and evaluate new automation tools, patterns, and best practices to strengthen the automation ecosystem

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience: 0–2 years of experience in software development, scripting, or automation engineering

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

• Programming Skills: Foundational to intermediate proficiency in Python (required)

• Hands-on exposure to workflow-based automation platforms such as n8n, Power Automate, or similar tools

• Required experience working with JSON and/or YAML configuration files.

• Exposure to backend automation orchestration or integration platforms is a value-add

• Strong verbal and written communication skills (English), with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
