Virtual and augmented reality are transforming design and creation through new immersive and collaborative experiences that will impact how major segments like entertainment, architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing converge. The industry is being transformed by innovations in Extended Reality (XR) which are creating new ways of leveraging spatial computing to review, collaborate and create in immersive environments. As a Principal Software Engineer (Frontend Web), you will be part of the team responsible for building and delivering XR experiences within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry (AEC). In this role, you will collaborate closely with UX Designers to build XR products that enhance our customer’s spatial understanding through our industry leading Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). If you have a passion for creating modern, beautiful, and high-performance web frontends and share our passion for XR, join us as we redefine how we work and collaborate in a new reality.
