Full Job Description
**Job Requisition ID #** 26WD96409 **Position Overview** Autodesk is seeking a Senior Data Architect to join our Data Architecture team, which is responsible for defining and evolving the long-term data architecture vision. This role operates at the strategic layer of architecture — shaping how data is structured, governed, activated, and leveraged across operational systems (Sales, Marketing, Support, Finance), customer-facing platforms (digital experience, subscriptions, personalization), and analytics and AI/ML ecosystems. While this is a strategy-defining role, it is not purely conceptual. The ideal candidate is deeply technical and hands-on — capable of whiteboarding system flows, refining logical data models, reviewing integration designs, and mentoring engineers and architects to ensure the strategy is grounded in implementation reality. A critical dimension of this role is the ability to proactively identify opportunities to unlock enterprise data for AI-driven workflows — enabling automation, intelligent decisioning, personalization, and new product capabilities through well-architected, trusted data foundations. You will partner with senior enterprise and solution architects to ensure Autodesk’s data ecosystem evolves cohesively and scales to support new business models, customer experiences, and AI-powered innovation. **Key Responsibilities** * Establish and evolve the enterprise data architecture vision aligned to Autodesk’s business strategy and digital transformation goals * Define enterprise data domains and ownership models across operational, customer, and analytical ecosystems * Develop guiding principles and guardrails for how data is created, shared, mastered, governed, and activated * Shape architectural patterns that support data products, domain-oriented ownership, and modern data paradigms * Identify enterprise data assets that can be activated to power AI/ML, personalization, automation, and intelligent decisioning * Design architectural pat
