Position Overview
Autodesk is looking for a passionate individual who wants to be part of a fast-moving company transforming how it delivers value to its customers through new processes and technology.
This role involves leading front-end development efforts on innovative projects, with a focus on adapting to emerging technologies, such as a JSON-based templating language for UI development. The ideal candidate will be a proactive problem-solver who leverages AI tools for efficiency, embraces collaborative internal development practices, maintains strong accountability, and thrives in a dynamic environment with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude.
Responsibilities
Lead Front-End Development: Design, implement, and maintain high-performance user interfaces using React.js and TypeScript, ensuring seamless integration with back-end services built on Node.js
Adapt to New Tech Stacks: Quickly learn and contribute to a novel UI development approach utilizing JSON templating languages, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build scalable and maintainable applications
Innovate and Problem-Solve: Identify and resolve complex technical challenges with bold, pragmatic, and innovative problem-solving; take full ownership and accountability for delivering high-quality, effective solutions
Drive Iterative Delivery: Adopt a proactive mindset focused on iterative delivery, breaking down work into manageable increments, delivering value frequently, gathering feedback early, and continuously improving outcomes
Contribute via Inner Source Practices: Adopt an inner-source mindset by proactively creating and sharing fixes, reusable components, libraries, or improvements across teams and projects as needs arise, fostering internal collaboration, transparency, and code reuse, similar to open-source principles within the organization
Leverage AI Tools for Productivity: Integrate and utilize AI-powered tools (e.g., code assistants, automated testing frameworks, or generative AI for prototyping) to streamline development workflows, reduce manual efforts, and accelerate feature delivery
Mentor and Collaborate: Guide junior engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and best practices in front-end technologies; work closely with designers, product managers, and back-end teams to align on project goals while maintaining a positive, constructive approach
Optimize and Maintain Codebase: Ensure code quality through testing, debugging, and refactoring; monitor application performance and implement improvements for responsiveness and scalability
Content Management Integration (Preferred): If experienced, incorporate Contentful or a similar CMS to manage dynamic content, enabling efficient updates to UI elements without full redeployments
Stay Current and Curious: Proactively explore emerging trends in front-end development, AI integrations, templating technologies, and inner source methodologies, applying learnings to enhance team processes and project outcomes
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on front-end development
Strong proficiency in React.js for building interactive UIs, including state management (e.g., Redux, Context API) and component lifecycle
Expertise in TypeScript for type-safe coding, enhancing code reliability and maintainability
Solid experience with Node.js for server-side logic, API development, or full-stack capabilities
Familiarity with modern front-end tools and ecosystems, such as Webpack, Babel, ESLint, and testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library)
Willingness to learn JSON templating languages for UI (e.g., similar to JSON-based frameworks like Handlebars or custom templating engines)
Demonstrated use of AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT for code generation, or AI-driven IDE extensions) to boost productivity in past roles
