Software Engineering Manager
Join Autodesk and the Forma Design team as our next Engineering Manager. In this role, you'll stay technically engaged by contributing production code alongside the team, while managing a group of engineers and helping them grow and succeed.
We believe there is a better way to design our cities. To enable this, we aim to transform how architects and engineers work through collaborative, outcome-driven design tools.
Your contributions will have a direct impact on shaping our offering, enabling our users to discover smart, sustainable solutions and gain valuable insights in their projects.
About the role and the team
You'll help create an environment where engineers feel supported, challenged, and empowered to do their best work. You will work as part of a dedicated product team within Forma Design, partnering closely with Product and Design in an empowered product triad. Together, you will discover, validate, and deliver automation capabilities that reduce manual work, increase consistency, and allow best practices, standards, and domain knowledge to be embedded directly into design workflows.

This role is about turning design automations into a first-class product capability. Automations are created as reusable, configurable building blocks that can be applied and adapted across different projects and contexts, without requiring users to write code or understand the underlying implementation.
As Engineering Manager, you will have the opportunity to apply and grow both your technical and people skills to enhance our product's impact on our users' workflows.
On the engineering side, you will work with a wide range of technologies, including web, large-scale systems, and cloud computing, tackling exciting challenges alongside a team of highly engaged and motivated colleagues. Our organizational culture encourages managers to contribute directly to the work while also supporting others.
On the managerial side, you'll play an active role in our engineering management team, which collectively supports more than 60 engineers. Your main responsibilities as a manager will be to empower team members to succeed, foster a sense of belonging, and collaborate with other managers to build a solution-focused culture. In the spirit of servant leadership, we hope you'll share your knowledge and expertise with other engineers, acting as both coach and culture bearer.
A few examples of your responsibilities:
- Lead and grow your engineering team fostering a collaborative, sustainable, and high-impact culture
- Coach and grow individual team members, supporting their professional development and guiding the team's organic expansion as product demands evolve
- Partner closely with product managers, UX designers, and software architects to translate user needs into impactful, customer-facing features
About us
Our tools help architects, urban planners, and real estate developers find the smartest and most sustainable ways to unlock the potential of their projects. We focus on enabling outcome-based design through assessing the living quality (sun, daylight potential, noise, et al), environmental impact (embodied and operational carbon), and profitability of our users' projects.

- Interest in AI-enabled workflows or design automation (you don't need to be an expert)
We believe diverse teams build better products. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement listed - curiosity, empathy, and a growth mindset matter just as much to us.
Why you might love this role
- You enjoy growing people as much as building software
- You care about sustainability and real-world impact
