Position OverviewAutodesk is building AI that helps architects and engineers design, build, and operate the world around them. As the Software Development Manager, you will lead the team that brings our foundation models and agentic workflows into the AEC tools customers use every day. You will pair an understanding of how architects and engineers work with a clear view of how AI will change that work, and you will lead a team that tests ideas fast, learns from what fails, and ships what works. Join us in transforming the AEC industry and shaping the future of design and construction. Report: You will report to a Senior Software Development Manager in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Solutions Team.

Location:
We support hybrid work, and you work near our Toronto, Canada office. Integrating foundation models and agentic workflows into AEC products such as Forma and Revit Building the APIs and tools (including MCP) that let AI assistants and partners use those capabilities safely Collecting the real-user feedback that improves our foundation models Delivering client-side and server-side features and owning the end-to-end experience for what your team ships Point the team at ideas worth testing. Identify plausible areas of investigation and frame them as testable hypotheses. Imagine how AI will change AEC work. Develop and communicate a point of view on how AI agents could transform the way architects and engineers work in the future, and turn that vision into concrete product bets for our integrations in Forma, Revit, and more Guide the team in using coding agents day to day. Set norms for specifying work, reviewing agent output, testing, and guardrails so speed does not cost quality. Make sure our integrations capture the feedback that matters (ratings, edited layouts,



confirmed outputs) and feed it back to ML to improve our foundation models. Define and track the metrics, such as adoption and usability, that show whether AI output is actually useful to practitioners People leadership & coaching. Run regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and career development. Coach engineers as their role shifts toward problem framing, specification, judgment, and review of agent-generated work. Foster ownership, quality, and psychological safety Work closely with Product, ML/Research, UX, Forma and Revit product teams, Data teams, and Security/Privacy to scope work, define acceptable behavior and failure modes, and deliver integrated solutions Recruit and onboard people who are curious, AEC-literate, and fluent with AI tools, and participate in interview calibration and hiring Track record of leading teams that ship software products and of coaching and growing individual contributors Demonstrated understanding of how architects and engineers work, gained as a practitioner or by building products for AEC users Hands‑on experience using AI and agentic tools in development, with a clear view of what works, what fails, and how to keep quality high Enough technical fluency to review agent-generated work and discuss architecture and APIs credibly with engineers Experience leading a team through experimentation: setting hypotheses, running rapid tests,



and making clear decisions from the results Experience working with or alongside ML/AI or research teams to turn model capabilities into usable product experiences Background as an architect, engineer, BIM or computational design specialist, or direct experience with Revit, Forma, IFC, or similar AEC tools and data Experience building evaluations for AI features, including user‑feedback loops such as ratings, edits, and confirmations Experience shipping developer‑facing surfaces: stable, versioned, well‑documented APIs and tooling You are excited about how AI could change the way buildings are designed and engineered, and you can describe that future concretely You are comfortable with failure as a source of learning, and you help your team be brave, move fast, and have fun You have valuable instincts for which ideas are worth testing and which are not You use AI tools yourself every day and can show your team what good looks like You can translate ambiguous AI and research goals into practical plans Amazing things are created every day with our software – from the greenest buildings and cleanest cars to the smartest factories and biggest hit movies. We help innovators turn their ideas into reality, transforming not only how things are made, but what can be made. Our culture guides the way we work and treat each other, informs how we connect with customers and partners, and defines how we show up in the world. When you’re an Autodesker, you can do meaningful work that helps build a better world designed and made for all. Nos logiciels créent chaque jour des choses extraordinaires : des bâtiments les plus écologiques aux voitures les plus propres, en passant par les usines les plus intelligentes et les fi
