• Rapidly develop and validate experience concepts through internal reviews and direct user feedback
• Facilitate and participate in design thinking workshops, brainstorming sessions, and cross‑functional working sessions
• Apply and contribute to design system standards to ensure consistency and cohesion across platform experiences
• Lead design presentations and discussions with a broad range of stakeholders and audiences
• Maintain close contact with users through interviews, field research, and user events, translating insights into new and improved experiences
• Research user interface trends and emerging technologies, assessing their potential impact on data‑centric user experiences

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience designing complex B2B or technical platform products
• Strong understanding of AEC customer workflows and experience designing BIM and 3D applications
• Experience with complex data management concepts and related experience design patterns
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience
• A current portfolio demonstrating enterprise UX case studies
• Strong facilitation skills and comfort working in complex, ambiguous technical environments
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex ideas and reframe challenges clearly and optimistically

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing or working with AI‑supported tools and workflows, and familiarity with emerging AI concepts such as Agents and MCPs
• First‑hand experience across the AEC project lifecycle and with Autodesk tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Forma
• Experience auditing, integrating, or optimizing existing user experiences
• Working knowledge of platform concepts such as SDKs and APIs

The Ideal Candidate

• Passionate about designing tools that help people solve meaningful, real‑world problems
• Comfortable navigating complexity and ambiguity with curiosity and empathy
• Collaborative, optimistic, and proactive in building shared understanding across teams
• A systems thinker who enjoys connecting experiences across products and platforms
