Position Overview

The Autodesk Platform Services and Emerging Technologies team is looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to join our Forge Data team, focused on building next-generation real-time collaboration infrastructure. You will work on Locking and Presence services that power collaborative editing experiences across Autodesk products—enabling millions of users to interact with shared data concurrently, reliably, and at scale.

Our ecosystem spans distributed cloud services, real-time systems, and web client integrations, where low-latency synchronisation, consistency, and scalability are critical. You will be based in Pune and report to a Software Development Manager. This is an opportunity to design and build highly concurrent, globally distributed systems, and work alongside some of the best engineers in the industry.

Responsibilities

• Design and build low-latency Locking and Presence services for real-time collaboration

• Develop highly concurrent, distributed systems handling millions of active sessions and events

• Build and optimize WebSocket-based and event-driven architectures (Pub/Sub, streaming)

• Implement state synchronization mechanisms (presence, session state, ephemeral locks)

• Design fault-tolerant and eventually consistent systems for real-time updates

• Develop scalable REST, gRPC and real-time APIs consumed by web and desktop clients

• Ensure high availability, observability, and resilience under heavy load

• Collaborate with frontend and platform teams to deliver seamless collaboration experiences
