Resilience Architect

25WD85106

Position Overview

As an experienced resilience professional in the Autodesk Trust division, you will apply your diverse technology skills to guide resilience practices in a rapidly evolving landscape. Drawing on your extensive experience in site reliability and information technology domains such as system availability, disaster recovery and backup, systems architecture, software architecture, cloud systems and network engineering, you'll establish or enable foundational standards, design patterns, and reference architectures. Your primary goal will be to help Autodesk to understand and implement resiliency requirements at business scale.

Operating across all divisions of Autodesk, you'll ensure a comprehensive approach to resilience strategy.

• Apply risk calculations to facilitate and inform strategic decision-making processes.
• Use systems design and thinking principles to translate and enable resilience at scale, ensuring consistency across Autodesk.
• Provide mentorship and promote awareness through professional excellence and direct engagement.
