At Autodesk, we’re not just shaping tools—we’re shaping the future of how ideas come to life. Our platform is the foundation upon which our customers and a global community of developers build the next generation of design and make software. From architecture and manufacturing to visual effects, our APIs, services, and infrastructure empower innovators to reimagine what’s possible.
 

We are seeking a Senior Content Designer who believes that exceptional documentation, clear guides, and practical code samples are the foundation of a thriving developer community.
