About the company

Autodesk

We believe flexibility in how and where work gets done is good for our people and teams. Embracing a hybrid-first model allows us to better meet the needs of our dynamic, growing business while also driving productivity, connection, and belonging. We know a diverse workforce makes us better at what we do, so we hire employees from across the globe and give them the freedom to work where they’re most productive, whether that’s office-based, hybrid, or home-based.

We make software for people who make things

From the greenest buildings to the cleanest cars, from the smartest factories to the biggest stories, amazing things are created every day with Autodesk. Over four decades we’ve worked together with our customers to transform how things are made, and in doing so, we’ve also transformed what can be made. A car’s performance now inspires the method of its manufacture, a city’s infrastructure helps predict the unpredictable, and the creation of ever-bigger universes shapes ever-bigger stories.

Today our solutions span countless industries empowering innovators everywhere. But we’re restless to do more. We don’t believe in waiting for progress, we believe in making it. By combining and recombining technologies. By blurring boundaries, reinventing rules, and merging fields. By unleashing talent and unlocking insights across industries. By helping our customers converge on solutions to the challenges we all face today.  At Autodesk, we believe that when you have the right tools to work and think flexibly you have the power to transform what actually needs making. The power to design and make a better world for all.

Why work with us?

Our culture and mission are what differentiate us and makes Autodesk such a great place to work. Our employee engagement scores are best in class and we are more committed than ever to ensuring our culture drives our vision of helping people imagine, design and make a better world. Authenticity, humility, and impact are just a few aspects of our culture that make Autodesk a great place to work.

Bring your authentic self to work and thrive

At Autodesk, we’re changing the conversation about diversity. Diversity goes beyond having a group of people who are different- it’s when these differences are valued and integrated into every part of the business that the magic begins.

Diversity fuels new ideas, creativity, and business growth. We are constantly exploring new ways to integrate all dimensions of diversity across our employees, customers, partners, and communities. Diversity allows us to create and innovate leading edge products, develop an unmatched level of customer focus, and collaborate effectively. Through the power of diversity, our ultimate goal is to expand the opportunity of anyone to imagine, design, and make a better world.

As a company leading change, it’s our responsibility to create opportunities for as many people as possible to participate in the future of work. We proactively work to ensure that the Autodesk team reflects the world we live in. We're always looking for talented people from diverse backgrounds to join us in creating software for customers around the globe.
