Sr. Software Engineer

Description:

We are looking for individuals with background in hydraulics, hydrology, geometry, and mathematics, ideally with knowledge of water distribution systems, free-surface and pressurised flows, flood inundation modelling and related engineering fields in the water industry. We are particularly interested in individuals with experience modelling clean water distribution systems, e.g. using software such as EPANET, and who have relevant experience of Fortran or C/C++ development.

You will become an important member of the ‘water engine team’, undertaking various development activities for numerical solvers and related algorithms for water engineering software. You will need to be adaptable to work with different software engineering scrum teams, different languages/tech stacks, and work on complex numerical problems as well as automated testing, and software maintenance. Our teams develop industry leading software such as InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoWorks ICM, and InfoDrainage, and are involved in development for various other software products within Autodesk on the desktop and in the cloud.

You will have a significant impact on how we design, build, and deliver our products to millions of professionals. You will work in a cross-functional team focused on building and maintaining software for various products and components. You will work on a variety of unique challenges which give you the chance to learn modern technology and grow your skills.

At Autodesk we work in a Hybrid working model, with offices globally, although for this role it would be preferable to be based in a time zone close to GMT.
