Full Job Description
**Job Requisition ID #** 25WD93562 **Position overview** Autodesk Construction is looking for a Software Architect to help shape the technical direction of Payment Solutions, a business-critical product area that helps owners, general contractors, and subcontractors manage progress payments with greater transparency, accuracy, and efficiency. Construction payments are complex. They involve multi-party collaboration, financial controls, compliance requirements, contract structures, approval workflows, integrations, and enterprise-scale platform architecture across the construction ecosystem. Our platform helps customers navigate that complexity and gives project stakeholders better visibility into payment progress, risk, and outcomes. This is a strategic, hands-on individual contributor role. You will work across engineering, product, and design teams to define architecture, guide modernization, and influence how teams build scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable systems. You will not be managing people, but you will be expected to lead through technical direction, architectural judgment, mentoring, and close partnership with engineering teams. We are actively modernizing a successful platform. That means reducing legacy complexity, defining clearer domain boundaries, improving developer experience, and evolving our architecture toward more modular, resilient, and extensible systems. Depending on the problem, that may include modular monolith patterns, service decomposition, microservices, micro-frontends, event-driven architecture, or other pragmatic architectural approaches. Our current technology stack includes React and Angular on the frontend, with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, .NET, and related backend technologies. Our services are deployed in AWS. As Payment Solutions continues to evolve into a broader platform, we need an architect who can simplify complexity, create durable technical direction, and help teams make high-quality decisions that balanc
