Help shape how cities are designed
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join us in developing the next generation of our AI-powered architecture design platform. Your contributions will have a direct impact on shaping our product and helping teams move faster across the organization. Our teams work on everything from complex 3D workflows in the browser to AI-driven analyses.

We started as Spacemaker in Norway and became part of Autodesk in 2020.
