Position Overview
Autodesk Water is reimagining how water infrastructure is planned, designed, and operated. We are evolving a portfolio of trusted desktop and cloud products — including InfoWorks ICM, InfoDrainage, Info360 Asset, and our hydraulic simulation engines — into a connected, platform-native system of intelligence that helps utilities and engineering firms move from modeling water systems to operating them with confidence.
We are looking for a Distinguished Software Architect to set the technical vision and target architecture for the Autodesk Water product portfolio. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad influence: you will be the lead architectural voice across every Water product, partnering directly with the development leads of our product teams and with architects across AEC and the Autodesk Platform. You will own the architectural strategy that takes us from today’s mix of desktop and cloud applications to a coherent, AI-enabled, decision-grade system spanning simulation, asset intelligence, and operations.
You will be a member of the Water Leadership Team, working directly with Product Management, Engineering, and UX leaders, and representing Water architecture across Autodesk’s broader platform and AI initiatives.
Responsibilities
Technical Vision & Strategy
- Set and communicate a compelling technical vision for the Water portfolio that spans desktop evolution, cloud-native services, hybrid desktop-cloud workflows, data strategy, and the application of AI — with pragmatic, incremental plans to get there
