Principal Software Engineer, Agentic AI

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join us in defining and building the agentic AI layer at Autodesk Forma Design. You will define how Forma's domain agents — analysis, generation, contextual data, authoring — are exposed to Autodesk Assistant, Autodesk's AI platform, and any third-party orchestrator that speaks MCP. One intelligence layer, multiple surfaces, built once.

As a Principal Engineer, you'll set technical direction for our agentic capabilities across the organisation. You'll define how we expose Forma's domain agents to AI orchestrators, how we evolve our public APIs and MCP tooling, and how teams across Forma adopt consistent, composable patterns for AI integration. You communicate complex ideas clearly and bring others along, helping teams make better decisions and move faster.

Your work will make it possible for architects, planners, and developers to unlock smarter, AI-assisted workflows, while ensuring the platform they rely on is secure, scalable, and built for the long term.

We're on a mission to help design better cities.

With 90% of future population growth expected in urban areas, and construction responsible for around 40% of global CO₂ emissions, the AEC industry must evolve. Our cloud-based Autodesk Forma platform helps users evaluate design choices based on environmental impact, living quality (sun, daylight, noise), and project feasibility. We started as Spacemaker in Norway and became part of Autodesk in 2020.
