higharc - Architecture Lead, Ready to Build
Requirements
• Experience in residential architecture with hands-on home design and construction knowledge • A systems design mindset — you're drawn to designing the rules, not just applying them • Comfort at the intersection of design and technology, and enthusiasm for encoding design decisions into software • Experience with parametric design tools and computational approaches • A licensed architect credential • Strong collaboration instincts — you can work across disciplines and translate between design intuition and technical constraints • A major plus if you also bring: • Experience with catalog housing, plan libraries, or product-line residential design • Exposure to prefab, modular, or mass-customization housing approaches • Familiarity with BIM platforms and computational design tools like Grasshopper or Dynamo • WORKING AT HIGHARC • Higharc has been remote first since our founding in 2018. We offer flexible hours so you can do your best work without missing out on life. Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity, in a fast-growing, well-funded company. • Personal healthiness is an important value for us- we provide comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with unlimited PTO, and meaningful maternity/paternity leave to all U.S based employees that are full-time. You'll also have access to other big-company benefits such like short and long-term disability plans and a 401K. Haven't worked remotely before? We provide a stipend to create the ideal home office.
Responsibilities
• This role sits at the intersection of residential architecture, systems thinking, and product design. You're not here to design individual homes — you're here to design the system that produces them. That means developing a composable "kit of parts": catalogs of rooms, room groupings, and massings that function as reusable building blocks, assembled according to rules you define. • You'll work closely with plan development specialists who bring deep knowledge of builder needs, code compliance, and market dynamics. Together, you'll translate that knowledge into structured, repeatable frameworks — design decisions encoded into software that can power homes at scale. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be excited about what it means for design logic to live inside a platform.
