About Us

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. We have rasied a total of $83M with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors—industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution.

Higharc is reimagining home design and construction. We’re seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead development of Higharc Studio, our browser-based 2D and 3D CAD design tool. This role is central to realizing Higharc’s vision: an accessible, intelligent design environment for the future of homebuilding.

You’ll lead a team building a high-performance CAD experience that runs entirely in the browser—spanning computational geometry, 3D visualization, and rich interactive editing. You’ll combine strong technical leadership with deep expertise in frontend architectures, web graphics, and the design challenges unique to CAD systems.

This role reports to the VP of Engineering and is remote within the US or Canada.

What you'll do
  • Lead the design, planning, and delivery of engineering projects within Higharc Studio.

  • Partner closely with the Building Generation team—a sister group that owns the building model and computational geometry stack powering Studio. While Building Generation defines the model’s structure and behavior, the Studio team brings it to life in an interactive 2D/3D browser environment. Together, these teams form the core of Higharc’s design experience.

  • Drive architectural and technical decisions for Studio’s frontend systems, ensuring performance, maintainability, and a delightful user experience.

  • Balance rapid iteration with systematic improvements to quality, testability, and technical debt reduction.

  • Develop and mentor a high-performing team of engineers, fostering technical depth, accountability, and collaboration.

  • Partner with product and design leaders to translate creative vision into scalable, performant, and intuitive tools.

  • Shape and champion processes that sustain speed without sacrificing craftsmanship.

You might be a good fit if you have
  • Deep experience building and leading teams delivering complex, interactive 2D/3D applications in the browser.

  • Strong technical background in frontend architecture (React, TypeScript, WebAssembly, Web Workers).

  • Proven expertise with graphics frameworks and CAD-related technologies such as Three.js, WebGL, or custom geometry kernels.

  • Familiarity with geometric modeling, constraint solving, or real-time rendering pipelines.

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience, including mentoring senior engineers and scaling teams.

  • Track record of delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced, distributed environment.

  • Passion for bringing sophisticated 2D/3D tools to life in the browser and pushing the limits of web-based CAD.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
