Position overview

Lead engineers integrating foundation models and agentic workflows into AEC products such as Forma and Revit.

The team builds APIs and tools, gathers user feedback to improve models, and delivers client- and server-side features.

The role supports hybrid work near Autodesk's Toronto office and reports to a Senior Software Development Manager.

Responsibilities

  • Foster fast learning, experimentation, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
  • Frame testable hypotheses and favor rapid prototypes, evaluations, and real-user pilots over lengthy plans.
  • Learn AEC practitioner workflows and translate them into useful product capabilities.
  • Define a vision for AI agents in AEC and turn it into product opportunities for Forma, Revit, and other products.
  • Guide use of coding agents and establish practices for specifications, review, testing, guardrails, and productivity measurement.
  • Capture ratings, edits, confirmations, and other useful feedback and connect it to ML teams; track adoption and usability.
  • Coach engineers through one-to-ones, performance conversations, and career development.
  • Set milestones and time-boxed bets, manage scope and dependencies, and deliver predictably while allowing experimentation.
  • Partner with Product, ML/Research, UX, Data, Security/Privacy, and Forma and Revit teams.
  • Recruit and onboard team members and participate in hiring and interview calibration.

Minimum qualifications

  • Track record leading teams that ship software products and coaching individual contributors.
  • Understanding of architects' and engineers' work as a practitioner or through products built for AEC users.
  • Hands-on experience with AI and agentic development tools and maintaining quality.
  • Technical fluency to review agent-generated work and discuss architecture and APIs with engineers.
  • Experience leading experimentation through hypotheses, rapid testing, and decisions based on results.
  • Experience working with ML/AI or research teams to turn model capabilities into usable products.
  • Strong written and verbal communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred qualifications

  • AEC, architecture, engineering, BIM, or computational design background, or experience with Revit, Forma, IFC, or similar tools and data.
  • Experience designing agent-facing tools such as MCP servers, tool/function-calling interfaces, or orchestration frameworks.
  • Experience evaluating AI features and building user-feedback loops.
  • Experience shipping stable, versioned, well-documented APIs and developer tooling.

Compensation

  • For Canada-based roles, the expected starting base salary is CAD 140,000 to CAD 205,700 per year; compensation may include annual bonuses, stock grants, and benefits.
