Software Engineering Manager

Join Autodesk Tandem and help lead the charge in disrupting building operations with digital twins and AI! Nearly 50% of operational carbon emissions come from buildings, and 30% of energy is wasted due to poor design and operational decisions. At Autodesk, we’re on a mission to empower building operators to optimize their environments using data. Our team is developing digital twin technology that connects, aggregates, and analyses building data from various sources, enabling our product end users — building operators — to improve both sustainability and operational efficiency.

In our fast‑paced, collaborative, product‑centric environment, you’ll have the opportunity to develop solutions from the ground up, with a direct impact on the success of a high‑growth, mission‑driven product. You will report to the Director of Engineering in this hybrid position.
