Software Development Engineer – Process Automation

About the Role

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 and repeatable execution of enterprise business processes.

This is a hands-on engineering role centered on workflow automation rather than traditional application development. You will work extensively with n8n, Microsoft Power Automate, and Python-based AWS Lambda functions to integrate 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.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain automation workflows using n8n and Microsoft Power Automate.
Build Python-based AWS Lambda functions to support automation logic, data transformations, and integrations.
Integrate workflows with internal and external systems using RESTful APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns.
Deploy and support automation services using AWS-native patterns and existing CI/CD pipelines.
Monitor workflow executions, analyze failures, and participate in incident troubleshooting and resolution.
Write clean, maintainable, and testable Python code aligned with established engineering standards.
Manage configurations, parameters, and mappings using JSON and YAML.
Translate business requirements into reliable automation solutions in collaboration with senior engineers.
Work cross-functionally to embed automation into end-to-end enterprise processes.
Follow governance, security, and responsible-use guidelines for automation systems.
Continuously evaluate and adopt modern automation tools, frameworks, and best practices.

Minimum Qualifications

0–2 years of experience in software development, scripting, or automation engineering.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Foundational to intermediate proficiency in Python (required).
Hands-on exposure to workflow automation platforms such as n8n, Power Automate, or similar tools.
Experience working with JSON and/or YAML configuration files.
Exposure to backend automation orchestration or integration platforms (preferred).
Strong verbal and written English communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
