Engineering Manager, Building Generation

Higharc • Remote, Remote

About The Position

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 a total of $83M with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors—industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution. Higharc is hiring an Engineering Manager with a strong computational geometry and CAD background to lead one of our two Building Generation (BDG) teams — the engineers who own the generative model of the home and the platform we're building around it. The role reports to the Director of Engineering and is remote within the US or Canada.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to AEC or homebuilding software

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

Benefits

• Flexible hours
• Competitive salaries
• Significant equity
• Comprehensive medical coverage
• Dental coverage
• Vision coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• Meaningful maternity/paternity leave (to all U.S based employees that are full-time)
• Short and long-term disability plans
• 401K
• Stipend to create the ideal home office
