About the Company
A well-funded, AI-native architecture firm on a mission to fix how urban housing gets designed, permitted, and built in America. The company operates as a licensed architectural practice, serving real estate developers with permit-ready projects delivered dramatically faster and with higher predictability than traditional firms. They are backed by significant venture capital, scaling aggressively in 2026, and serious about design.
The team is small and sharp. They believe computational intelligence applied to residential architecture should increase rigor, not abstraction. Automation is not a research exercise here. It is deployed daily on real projects with real deadlines.
The Role
This is not an academic computational design position. The company is looking for someone who can apply parametric logic to real housing constraints and real permitting timelines.
You will work at the intersection of architecture and engineering, supporting feasibility analysis, zoning interpretation, and early-stage housing design. You will help structure and evolve the computational workflows that power site studies, massing exploration, and typology refinement across projects.
This role is about leverage. The systems you build will be used repeatedly across developments nationwide. You will collaborate directly with architects and engineers to ensure computational tools meaningfully improve speed, accuracy, and predictability.
What You'll Do
Develop and maintain parametric workflows in Rhino and Grasshopper to support feasibility and early-stage housing design.
Translate zoning, setback, FAR, parking, and code constraints into reusable geometric logic.
Collaborate with project architects to iterate massing strategies and housing typologies.
Work alongside engineering to improve how architectural standards are structured within internal tools.
Continuously refine computational workflows based on real project feedback and permitting outcomes.
Contribute to a design system that compounds across projects rather than resetting each time.
Who You Are
You think in systems and are comfortable abstracting design problems into logic without losing architectural judgment.
You understand how housing actually gets built and how real constraints shape geometry.
You are comfortable working quickly under real-world deadlines.
You care more about impact and leverage than one-off authorship.
You are already authorized to work in the United States.
Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture or closely related field.
3-7 years of professional experience in architectural practice or computational design roles.
Strong proficiency in Rhino and Grasshopper.
Working knowledge of Revit.
Experience applying parametric logic to zoning, unit layouts, and building constraints.
Scripting experience in Python, C#, or similar is a plus.
Portfolio demonstrating built or real-world applications of computational design, not only academic experiments.
Compensation and Benefits
$90,000-$140,000 base salary, depending on experience.
Meaningful equity ownership.
Full healthcare, dental, and vision.
In-person in Austin, TX. Candidates must be based in Austin or willing to relocate.
