24WD83688

As a Visual Designer in Autodesk (in-market Forma), you will discover how we can support a completely new creative process for architects and urban developers. This means helping our users create 3D models by using data-driven insights to make smart design decisions in an easy-to-use and modern web application. You will work closely with product teams in Oslo, Norway, in addition to having close collaboration with designers and product teams in the US and Canada.

About us

We are on a mission to help design better cities. According to the UN (United Nations), more than 90% of future population growth will happen in cities. In addition, the construction industry is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions. To respond to this trend and combat climate change, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry needs to change the way they work. Our tool represents a new generation of software tools enabling this change.

We are building software to 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 living quality (sun, daylight, noise, etc.), environmental impact (embodied and operational carbon), and profitability of our users' projects.

Our journey started as the Norwegian start-up Spacemaker. We were acquired by Autodesk in 2020, and together we are building the next generation cloud-based, connected platform for the AEC industry. This is an inspiring journey you do not want to miss

Our way of working

We operate as a fundamentally agile organization. Our teams have the autonomy needed to innovate at speed while staying aligned. We empower our teams to determine how to develop their solutions by supporting decision-making with a bottom-up approach. We are organized in cross-functional teams, with software and machine-learning engineers collaborating with product managers and designers in each team. In our organization, we strongly believe in servant leadership and team accountability. We also see great strengths in allowing you to define how you work (and where you work from) to be most successful. Our teams collaborate across time zones and continents.

• Tackle visualization challenges in information-dense interfaces and provide focus and visual clarity to information hierarchy when there is a lot going on.
