Job Requisition ID #25WD92231Position Overview Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of 3D visualization? Imagine loading a multi-gigabyte 3D model in your browser and smoothly interacting with it within seconds. That’s the experience Autodesk’s Visualization Services team is building, and we’re looking for a Principal Full-Stack Software Developer to help us push it even further. Our team owns visualization services, working with gigabytes of data that must be delivered and consumed efficiently by the frontend application. This requires building solutions that respect browser limitations while still enabling rich, responsive client-side interactions. In this role, you’ll partner with system architects and client-rendering teams to optimize large-scale data delivery, cut latency, and reduce both data volume and cloud costs—without ever slowing our customers down. If tackling complex performance challenges, scaling distributed systems, and collaborating across teams energize you, join our hybrid Toronto hub and shape the next generation of visualization technology that empowers millions to imagine, design, and make a better world. You will report directly to the Senior Software Development Manager based in Toronto.
