About The Position

Higharc is seeking a hands-on Sr. Software Engineer to bring framing and structural analysis to the products homebuilders use every day. You'll be an early member of a new team, working on emerging technology where the roadmap, and the team around it is still taking shape. You'll help set technical direction as much as you write code, and you'll be comfortable with priorities shifting as the team finds its footing. It's primarily an individual-contributor seat with room to grow into a tech lead. You don't need to be a career structural engineer, but structural or mechanical engineering experience is a real asset as you'll be the person who understands how framing and structural systems actually work and can turn that into software.

Requirements

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.

Nice To Haves

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.
A genuine interest in homebuilding, construction, or home design is a plus, because you'll be helping elevate an entire industry.

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.
