Sr. Software Engineer, Geometric Modeling/CAD

About Us

Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. Join a founding team who’ve shipped products for Autodesk, Electronic Arts, Nike, and Apple. We have raised over $175M with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors: industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution.

We are seeking Senior Software Engineers to contribute to our core geometric modeling technologies that support design, presentation, and analysis of homes. We are remote-first, this role can sit anywhere in the continental US or Canada.

What You'll Do

Expect to:

• Conceive and implement algorithmic solutions to the most difficult geometric modeling problems
• Work closely with other engineers, product, and customer success teams to define expected behavior, discover gaps in existing product, and ultimately ensure customers are happy
• Write tests to verify that your code can handle the worst corner cases.
• Mentor junior developers to write code as robust as yours.

About You

The right candidate for this role prioritizes working software over perfection and wants to deliver code, get user feedback, and iterate. Your ability to be hands-on, while also focusing on the bigger strategic picture, sets us apart. You're not hesitant to deeply understand our codebase to contribute effectively to it.

You have:

• 5+ years of experience working in CAD or geometric modeling
• Knowledge of geometric modeling concepts techniques such as but not limited to meshes, BReps, NURBS, and BSPs.
• Able to understand and navigate a large TypeScript + React codebase
• Professional fluency with modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, paired with clear ownership of the correctness, maintainability, and behavior of the code you produce.
• Excellent communication within a dynamic organization — highlighting tradeoffs, delivery timelines, and making decisions considering various alternatives
• Ideally you have a strong interest in the homebuilding industry, whether it's a passion for homes, construction, or home design and you’re motivated by the prospect of elevating an entire industry through geometric modeling.

While we've identified the core experience and skills required above, please still apply if you have more or different experience than this! We will use your previous experience and performance across the series of interviews to establish appropriate level within our organization in a fair and equitable way.

Working at Higharc

Remote work and travel: Our company is entirely remote, and has been since we were founded in 2018. Remote work means more time with family, less time commuting, and the flexibility to blend work and life. We value in-person collaboration and asynchronous deep-work time, which is why we schedule regular team meet-ups in our hubs across the US and, depending on the role, prioritize hiring in those hubs. If your role requires frequent travel beyond pre-scheduled team meet ups, we will represent that to the best of our ability as early as possible in the interview process.

Compensation and benefits: Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity, in a fast-growing, well-funded company. We provide comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with flexible 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. We also provide a stipend to create the ideal home office and support ongoing L&D.
