Position Overview
As a Software Architect within our COO Architecture team, you will lead the technical redesign of the systems that power how Autodesk sells and delivers its products. Reporting to the Senior Distinguished Architect for Go-to-Market systems, you will join a senior global team dedicated to moving the company toward modern, flexible business models by replacing legacy processes with a fast, secure, and scalable technology stack. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution, where you will turn high-level goals into the architectural blueprints that drive company growth and revenue. Because our team is distributed across the Bay Area, Singapore, and India, we are looking for candidates in US time zones who can maintain a flexible schedule to collaborate effectively with our international colleagues.
