Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. They are hiring an Engineering Manager with a strong computational geometry and CAD background to lead the Building Generation teams, focusing on the generative model of homes and the associated platform. The role involves planning, delivery, and coordination across teams to ensure coherence and drive talent attraction in computational geometry and CAD.
Responsibilities
- Lead planning and delivery across the generative model, geometry pipeline, and BDG APIs
- Partner with PMs early to scope PRDs, surface constraints, and assess feasibility before engineer owners take over delivery
- Evaluate technical proposals from your team and route them forward — to the Director of Engineering when scoped to your team, or to the ARC when they cut across squads
- Coordinate with the other BDG EM to keep technical direction, interfaces, and the platform coherent across both teams
- Shape a clean contract between the building model and Higharc Studio's interaction and rendering systems as its API surface matures
- Develop and mentor engineers, and attract strong computational geometry and CAD talent across North America
- Run an async-first, minimal-meeting team with clear ownership and high accountability
Skills
- 5+ years in software engineering with significant time in CAD/CAM or computational geometry, and 2+ years managing technically deep engineering teams
- Deep background in computational geometry (boolean operations, mesh processing, BReps, constraint solving, or related areas)
- Strong expertise in parametric and generative modeling of 2D and 3D geometries — feature-based modeling, history graphs, dependency propagation, and keeping parametric systems robust at scale
- Experience with platform development and API design for multiple internal (and ideally external) consumers, with attention to versioning, performance, and developer experience
- Familiarity with geometry kernels — commercial, open-source, or custom-built — and comfort with the trade-offs
- Fluency in AI-supported software development practices and active use of them in your engineering workflow
- A delivery track record in a fast-paced, distributed environment
- Based in the US or Canada
- Exposure to AEC or homebuilding software
Benefits
- Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity, in a fast-growing, well-funded company.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible PTO
- Meaningful maternity/paternity leave to all U.S based employees that are full-time
- Access to other big-company benefits such like short and long-term disability plans and a 401K
- We provide a stipend to create the ideal home office
