Job description

Position Overview

At Autodesk, we empower those who imagine, design, and create a better world for everyone. Our Field Delivery team builds software used by construction workers on active job sites where connectivity is limited, conditions are unpredictable, and reliability is required.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve our field operations platform. You'll work across the stack, building features and solving problems in a React web frontend, React Native iOS and Android apps, and a Python/Django backend backed by PostgreSQL on AWS. The work is real and tangible: the software you build will be used by people in hard hats on active construction sites. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and QA engineers to ship features that are reliable, performant, and designed for the conditions our users actually work in. This is a role for someone who enjoys working across the full stack, cares about the craft of building software, and wants to see their work make a difference in the field.
