Senior Principal Software Engineer
Krakow, Poland
Position Overview
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) makes software for people who make things. We are a global leader in design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and media and entertainment industries. If you've ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you've experienced what millions of Autodesk customers have built with our software. At Autodesk, we exist to turn ideas into new realities that shape a successful future. Our software and services harness emerging technologies—such as additive manufacturing (3D printing), artificial intelligence, generative design, and robotics—that give companies and individuals the power to work more quickly, and sustainably throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Autodesk Operations Solutions is developing a cloud-first platform that unifies facility operations, asset management, maintenance, process improvement, and building-systems data—connecting the entire building lifecycle and day-to-day operations. Central to this platform is Autodesk Tandem, which provides an ecosystem that turns building and asset data into digital twin operational workflows and services. The solutions we are developing will be built on that foundation with a modern web experience, a common information model, published APIs, and connector patterns so customers and partners can integrate OT/IT/CMMS systems, extend functionality, and operationalize analytics and managed services at scale.
We are growing our presence in Krakow, Poland and looking for a Senior Principal Software Engineer to join our team focused on shaping the future of Operations solutions at Autodesk. Reporting to a Senior Manager of Software Development, you would be enthusiastic about delivering solutions aimed at providing a cloud platform experience. The ideal candidate will have experience in all aspects of software development for cloud applications with an emphasis on platform backend and data technologies.
