Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Higharc is a VC-backed startup changing how new homes are designed and built. The company is seeking a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to develop framing and structural analysis algorithms and systems, establish technical direction, collaborate across teams, and help shape an emerging engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement the algorithms and systems behind framing and structural analysis, from early prototypes to a shippable MVP
- Use AI-assisted workflows to build quickly while owning the correctness, maintainability, and behavior of everything you ship
- Partner with product, customer success, and other engineers to define expected behavior, surface gaps, and keep customers happy
- Bring structural engineering judgment to the team, translating how framing and structural systems work into robust software
- Write tests that hold up against the worst corner cases
- Help shape a new team's technical direction and mentor others as it grows
- Navigate ambiguity as scope and priorities evolve on an emerging team
Skills
- • 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in TypeScript
- • Structural or mechanical engineering experience, whether academic or professional
- • Familiarity with computational geometry and mathematical modeling
- • Professional fluency with modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, paired with clear ownership of the correctness and maintainability of the code you produce
- • Comfort operating in ambiguity on a new and emerging team
- • The ability to communicate tradeoffs, delivery timelines, and decisions clearly within a dynamic organization
- A genuine interest in homebuilding, construction, or home design is a plus, because you'll be helping elevate an entire industry
- • Experience building framing, structural analysis, or CAD/CAM tooling
- • A background moving between engineering stacks — many strong engineers in this space come from C# or Python, and picking up TypeScript and React is expected, not a barrier
