[Remote] Engineering Manager, Building Generation

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. They are seeking an Engineering Manager with a strong computational geometry and CAD background to lead the Building Generation teams and oversee the generative model of the home and the associated platform.

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

Skills

• 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
• Exposure to AEC or homebuilding software

Benefits

• Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity, in a fast-growing, well-funded company.
• We provide comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• Meaningful maternity/paternity leave to all U.S based employees that are full-time
• Access to other big-company benefits such like short and long-term disability plans and a 401K
• We provide a stipend to create the ideal home office
