Job Requisition ID # 25WD92854

Position Overview

Virtual and augmented reality are transforming design and creation through new immersive and collaborative experiences that will impact how major segments like entertainment, architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing converge. The industry is being transformed by innovations in Extended Reality (XR) which are creating new ways of leveraging spatial computing to review, collaborate and create in immersive environments.

As a Principal Software Developer (Frontend Web), you will be part of the team responsible for building and delivering XR experiences within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry (AEC). In this role, you will collaborate closely with UX Designers to build XR products that enhance our customer’s spatial understanding through our industry leading Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

If you have a passion for creating modern, beautiful, and high-performance web frontends and share our passion for XR, join us as we redefine how we work and collaborate with each other in a new reality.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop and maintain frontend applications (JavaScript, React, TypeScript) alongside backend services (Golang, AWS)
  • Build and optimize beautifully rendered, web-based components that push performance limits across XR Headsets
  • Lead large, complex projects across teams, defining scope, planning execution, and delivering milestones on time
  • Collaborate with architects, UX designers, product managers, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into product features
  • Shape system design and architecture across cloud and web environments, improving scalability, performance and feel across immersive and 2D environments
  • Lead technical discussions, align outcomes with business goals, and document solutions for clarity and adoption
  • Stay ahead of emerging trends to anticipate and address future development needs

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of hands‑on experience in software design and development with emphasis on Frontend development
  • Deep, hands‑on experience developing complex, performance‑sensitive web applications in JavaScript (ES6+) with working knowledge of React and Typescript
  • Strong grasp of browser performance profiling, rendering bottlenecks, and limitations of the DOM and JavaScript engines
  • Experience building applications with CPU constraints that push browser limits
  • Experience with real‑time communication technologies like WebSockets, Microsoft Fluid and supporting data formats (JSON, Protobuf)
  • Demonstrated excellence in cross‑functional collaboration, with experience working across multiple engineering teams and stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, concurrency, distributed systems, and browser event loops and rendering pipelines
  • Experience with Electron or Tauri
  • Comfortable with AWS, specifically services like S3
  • Git, Github knowledge
  • Experience in an agile development environment
  • Ability to work in a start‑up fashion even within a big company (things will move fast)
  • Good problem‑solving skills
  • Good communication skills
  • Jenkins, Travis, or other CI / CD system knowledge
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • MS Degree in Computer Science or similar technical field
  • Experience with 3D and immersive web technologies like ThreeJS or WebXR
  • Proven experience with AWS cloud services and designing resilient, scalable cloud‑native architecture. Full stack experience (Backend + Frontend) is a bonus
  • Experience with Databases (SQL and noSQL)
  • Experience with containerization (Docker)
  • Basic game engine experience (Unreal Engine preferred)
  • Basic experience with AR, VR and MR
  • Proficiency with CI / CD tools and practices (e.g., Jenkins, Spinnaker) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
  • Experience with observability tools for monitoring, logging, and tracing in distributed systems (e.g., Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk)
  • Experience mentoring senior developers and driving technical strategy at a team or organizational level
  • The Ideal Candidate

  • Result Oriented : You finish the job, and you do it fast.
  • Continuous Learner : You actively explore emerging technologies, measure its impact, and share insights widely
  • Build Trust : You communicate with clarity and transparency, surface risks and trade‑offs early, and follow through with high quality deliverables
  • Team Player : You build a collaborative environment by fostering inclusive dialogue, actively seeking diverse perspectives, and celebrate collective achievements
