Higharc’s homebuilding AI helps builders design homes, configure market-proven plans and create shoppable 3D visuals, estimates and permit-ready documents. Backed by Insight and Lux.
About the role
You'll produce the research capabilities that power Higharc's AI platform, working on problems that don't exist anywhere else. Expect to: Design and conduct original research in spatial reasoning for residential construction, developing models that understand architectural structure, spatial relationships between building components, and the geometric constraints that govern how homes can be built.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 2+ years directly on LLM development, fine-tuning, or applied ML systems in production
- Hands-on experience with model training frameworks (HuggingFace Transformers, PyTorch) and fine-tuning workflows on domain-specific corpora
- Practical experience with RAG architectures, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), and embedding model selection
- Experience with 3D modeling, computational geometry, or computer graphics in a research or production context
- Strong proficiency in Python across the ML ecosystem, React/TypeScript proficiency for integration work
- A Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a closely related field
More about this role
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.
