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. You will design and create the content that empowers innovators to build the
next generation of design-and-make software. If you are a gifted communicator who is
obsessed with eliminating friction for developers, join us in building the industry's most
powerful and lovable developer platform.

education materials. This includes producing crystal-clear reference documentation,
insightful conceptual guides, practical video tutorials, and code samples that
accelerate learning and user success.
Advocate for the Developer: Act as a strong voice for our developer community. You
will help establish feedback loops, engage with users, and translate their insights into
actionable recommendations that influence product priorities and improve the
developer experience.
Collaborate to Enhance DevEx: Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers,
and other Designers to embed Developer Experience (DevEx) principles into our
product development process and ensure content is a forethought, not an
afterthought.

satisfaction, content effectiveness, and adoption rates) to measure the impact of your
work and drive continuous, data-informed improvements.

audience, such as Content Design, UX Writing, Technical Writing, or Developer
Advocacy for a platform company.

work had on user success.
Deep empathy for developers and a solid understanding of their ecosystem, including
REST APIs, SDKs, and common developer tools (e.g., Git, OpenAPI, Postman).
A systems-thinker with proven expertise in information architecture, content
strategy, and UX principles as they apply to complex technical domains.
An exceptional writer and communicator, with a talent for distilling complex
technical concepts into clear, concise, and engaging content.
