• Learn to build and optimize microservices and event‑driven components that support Autodesk’s Consumption platform

• Participate in code reviews (both giving and receiving feedback) to learn best practices and maintain high code quality

• Follow Agile practices: estimate tasks, participate in stand‑ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives with guidance

• Troubleshoot and resolve routine code issues; escalate and seek guidance on unfamiliar problems

• Assist with production deployments, basic operational tasks, and monitoring as part of end‑to‑end service ownership with oversight

• Use Agentic AI‑assisted programming tools responsibly to increase productivity and code quality, guided by team standards

• Contribute to team knowledge via documentation, tests, and incremental improvements to developer experience

• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Java, Python, or Go

• Familiarity with version control (Git), testing basics, and RESTful or event‑driven service patterns

• Clear communication, collaborative mindset, and willingness to seek guidance and learn quickly

Preferred Qualifications

• Internship, research, or significant project experience in backend development or cloud services

• Exposure to AWS or similar cloud platforms (e.g., Lambda, Fargate, SQS, DynamoDB, Aurora) is a plus

• Coursework or experience with microservices, streaming/real‑time processing, or containerization (Docker)

• Experience with CI/CD, basic observability (metrics/logging), and security best practices for services
