Position Overview Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Platform Data organization is seeking an experienced Software Architect. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and building the systems and services that power cross‑cutting data capabilities across our organization and their integration with Autodesk's existing and future AEC products. This opportunity is for you if you have a passion for the design of complex system architectures and are excited by the idea of transforming how AEC professionals use data to capture knowledge, inform decisions, and deliver projects. As a Software Architect in the AEC Platform Data, you will be at the forefront of designing the next generation of capabilities for the Autodesk Forma Industry Cloud. You’ll collaborate with software architects in the AEC Platform Data team as well as with software architects from the world’s foremost applications and services for designing and constructing buildings and infrastructure, including Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, the Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Autodesk Forma. You’ll define the software architecture that reimagines the continuous flow of AEC Data (e.g., 3D models, 2D drawings, issue tracking, cost, sensor streams, etc.) and information throughout the entire lifecycle of a built asset, from design and construction through operation and maintenance. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Distinguished Architect, AEC Platform Data team.
Responsibilities
Define and evolve cross‑team architecture for data platforms and services in AEC Platform Data organization
Establish standards, reference architectures, and reusable components; drive adoption across teams in the AEC Platform Data organization
Lead architectural governance and architectural decision records (ADRs); run design reviews across teams
Design and guide implementation of distributed systems and data platforms (APIs, schemas, event streams; batch and streaming)
Ensure reliability, security, and performance; define SLOs and drive observability (metrics, tracing, logging)
Partner across the AEC organization’s product and platform teams to align roadmaps and integrations
Communicate architectures with clear views and diagrams (e.g., C4) and executive‑ready narratives
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, or equivalent experience
10+ years as a Software Architect in data‑intensive cloud environments
Experience with cloud services, API design, database architecture, big data tools and frameworks
Strong understanding of data modeling, management and processing principles
Excellent knowledge of software design and architecture
Demonstrated ability to influence without authority and drive cross‑team alignment
Mastery of taking complex ideas and conveying them in a concise and impactful manner
Excellent verbal, written communication, and presentation abilities to effectively communicate software architecture strategy to a variety of stakeholders
Ability to collaborate with a global team
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry
Cloud services experience with AWS strongly preferred (EC2, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, RDS)
Database architecture and technologies: Snowflake, relational, NoSQL
Event‑driven and streaming architectures: Kafka or Kinesis; exactly‑once processing; schema evolution (Avro/Protobuf)
API and service design: REST, gRPC, GraphQL; versioning and backward compatibility at scale
Distributed systems and data platforms: microservices, service mesh, event‑driven architecture, streaming processing
Observability/SRE: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics/SLOs for data services
Knowledge graphs/semantic modeling (nice‑to‑have): RDF/OWL, property graphs, or feature stores for ML
Experience designing and integrating AI systems and agents in enterprise environments; familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and tool/plugin ecosystems
Hands‑on with RAG architectures: embeddings, vector stores, chunking, re‑ranking, and retrieval evaluation
Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Semantic Kernel) and function/tool calling; Assistants‑style APIs
Data governance, privacy, and safety for AI systems (PII handling, prompt‑injection defenses, content filtering, auditability)
LLM observability and evaluation: offline/online evals, guardrails, prompt/version management and telemetry (e.g., LangSmith, PromptFlow, OpenTelemetry)
Domain‑specific AI for AEC (nice‑to‑have): extracting structure from BIM/IFC and construction docs; CAD/point‑cloud processing
