Job description

Job Requisition ID: 26WD98741

We believe there is a better way to design our cities. To enable this, we aim to transform how architects and engineers work through collaborative, outcome‑driven design tools. By leveraging web and cloud technologies, we strive to create exceptional user experiences while building a connected ecosystem that bridges traditional desktop applications like Revit and Civil 3D with modern web apps.

Responsibilities

• Develop an intuition for how architects and engineers work so we can invent better tools for them – in their current workflows or enabling altogether new, better workflows
• Provide users with smart, generative design tools that strike the balance between automatic generation and leaving the user in control
• Implement delightful and performant 3D graphics in the browser, using WebGL/WebGPU capabilities, custom shaders and other smart techniques
• Solve spatial problems in 2D and 3D, using efficient geometry algorithms that can provide the user with real‑time feedback at 60 fps in the browser
• Understand Autodesk’s broad portfolio of design software, and figure out how our web‑native apps should fit seamlessly together with our desktop apps

Qualifications

We move fast and we’re serious about what we’re building. The way we do that is by trusting engineers to make their own decisions. We’re looking for people who are comfortable with that; who thrive when expected to shape their own work and move from insight to solution.

We’re hiring across all levels, so it doesn’t matter if you have 20+ years of experience or come straight out of school. It also doesn’t matter if you consider yourself full‑stack or more of a specialist; we need both.

We believe great products are built by teams with diverse perspectives and experiences. We value engineers who are curious, collaborative, and motivated to learn. You don’t need to know everything on day one—we believe strong teams grow together.
