Sr. Software Engineer, Structural

Higharc is a startup changing how new homes are designed and built. The company is seeking a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to develop framing and structural analysis algorithms and systems, guide technical direction, and translate structural engineering concepts into robust software. The role also involves collaborating across teams, testing for edge cases, mentoring others, and navigating ambiguity on an emerging team.

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

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