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 need to move fast, make good calls under ambiguity, and turn rough product ideas into working software that customers can pick up and use without a manual. You'll work across the primary UI as well as AI-supported and agentic experiences, and you'll partner with the other staff-level engineers at Higharc to give the company's technical strategy real shape.
What they're looking for
- A track record of personally architecting, building, and shipping substantial web applications, with responsibility for technical decisions from initial implementation through production use
- Deep hands-on experience with TypeScript, React, and modern web application architecture, including application state, API integration, performance, and maintainability
- A strong plus: hands-on experience with Three.js and browser-based 3D applications, especially design or CAD tools. You’ll be helping people design homes in 3D, so experience making complex spatial interactions intuitive is particularly valuable
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI-forward development and for building AI-supported or agentic product experiences
- Experience making technical decisions independently in partnership with a product or design lead. You can explain tradeoffs, challenge a proposed approach constructively, and commit to a path forward
- Sound judgment about what to build for the immediate product and what to generalize for reuse, with experience collaborating across application and platform teams
