Autodesk’s rapidly growing AEC Platform Data team is looking for a Principal Experience Designer to shape cohesive, scalable data experiences across our platform products. In this position, you will help integrate central data management experiences and patterns into products like Forma.

Customers and developers use our products to access and manage granular data across the project and asset lifecycle. We’re on a mission to help users solve important workflow challenges and unlock powerful new insights that leverage their data in new ways across our ecosystem. Success in this role benefits from a sound understanding of data management principles, foundational UX tactics, Building Information Modelling and related design solutions, as well as the AEC project lifecycle. This role will often be required to collaborate with internal partners and customers alike. We’re looking for someone who can design and partner with curiosity, empathy, and optimism, and who’s passionate about crafting world-class platform experiences.

This role reports to the experience design manager for AEC Platform Experience and Analytics. When applying you must include both your resume and an accessible portfolio with password if needed.
