Software Architect

Position Overview

Our team within Autodesk Construction is looking for a Software Architect to help us build collaborative tools for Payment Solutions. We facilitate payments between builders and subcontractors, making the construction process much more efficient and allowing owners and general contractors to easily monitor progress.

As a software architect on the team, you’ll be responsible for owning, building, and maintaining the overall architecture that provides best-in-class Progress Payment workflows. We are currently in the process of modernizing our codebase and are aggressively looking to remove legacy code with new patterns, techniques, and tools. This opens up huge opportunities to re-architect or re-engineer our already-successful platform.

Our current stacks are fairly standard for modern development: React/Angular on the front-end, Javascript/Typescript/.NET on the back end. As our applications evolve, we are finding that we are becoming more of a platform, and we are needing to simplify our infrastructure and remove as much legacy as possible as we plan for the future.

Responsibilities

• Designing and overseeing the large-scale architecture of Autodesk’s Payment Solutions

• Reviewing and improving the software architecture for a number of Payment-related product lines

• Establish standards, reference architectures, and reusable components; drive adoption across teams

• Lead architectural governance and architectural decision records (ADRs); run design reviews across teams

• Design and guide implementation of distributed systems and data platforms (APIs, schemas, event streams; batch and streaming)

• Ensure reliability, security, and performance; define SLOs and drive observability (metrics, tracing, logging)

• Assist with replacing legacy code in a safe, clean manner

• Help with code review and team development culture

• Break apart medium and long term initiatives into interim milestones and tasks, and help with tracking progress

• Mentoring other developers and guiding their progress

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on full-stack development

• Expert-level understanding of client-server architectures

• Excellent understanding of i18n, l10n, r13n practices

• Experience designing large distributed systems involving multiple services

• Expert understanding of data structures and algorithms, including an ability to analyze their performance

• Excellent written and spoken communication skills; an ability to explain and discuss technical decisions and trade offs

• Good understanding of React and Typescript

• Expert with node.js

• Empathy and respect for co-workers

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ERP systems

• Experience with Angular

• Experience with the construction industry and/or payment systems

• Desire to continuously improve the developer experience by using new tools and technologies, and giving tech talks and presentations on topics of interest to the developer community
