Job description

Join Branch and help us invent the future of structural design software!

Branch is a software startup within StructureCraft

StructureCraft is an award-winning structural engineering, manufacturing, and construction company that specializes in timber structures. StructureCraft’s mission is to improve the built environment by demonstrating how the integrated Engineer‑Build model produces better, more beautiful, and more efficient structures than the typical adversarial and fragmented construction process.

Branch is an extension of StructureCraft’s mission: Branch aims to change how the building industry works by building a smart, modern, end‑to‑end design tool.

What Is Our Product?

Branch is next‑generation 3D design platform for architectural structures. Branch aims to let users explore designs and immediately see the impact in terms of literal nuts and bolts (shop drawings, BOMs, etc.). Branch is highly interactive and hackable, allowing designers to explore options without limitations. We believe that integrating data from all aspects of the process allows for faster exploration and holistic, elegant designs.

Changing the building industry is an ambitious goal! Here are some reasons why we think we can pull it off.

• Great People: We have a team full of software experts who also understand and care about the building industry.
• Access to Users and Expertise: Our siting within StructureCraft means we work closely with experts from every stage of the process, from architects to carpenters.
• Long‑Term Vision: We’re a startup, but without the short‑term focus that often comes with VC funding. We know we’re tackling a hard problem and we’re in it for the long haul!

Having developed Branch quietly for use by StructureCraft, we’re looking to grow Branch to the next level. We need your help in changing the industry!

Your Role

• Work as part of a close‑knit team that’s passionate about making life better for architects, and engineers.
• Develop our core, proprietary structural analysis engine that enables fluid, real‑time design experiences.
• Write efficient, high performance, robust code.
• Continuously improve Branch’s user experience through maintenance, design improvements, and enhancements.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re a team of software professionals who also have deep experience with the building industry. It’s a rare combination. We’re looking for others, who, like us, have both the skills and passion needed to make a real change.

• Fast Learners: You love learning and applying new things.
• Problem Solvers: You often think “there must be a better way”…and then you search until you find one!
• Open Collaborators: You believe in clear, honest communication.
• Team Players: You value feedback and are all about finding the best solutions together.
• Built‑Environment Enthusiasts: We love that our industry makes physical things: buildings! Good ones are beautiful and efficient. We want to help make more good ones.
• User Focused: Our end goal is to help users design buildings better, faster, and more intelligently than ever before.
• Diverse Thinkers: Different experiences and points of view help teams find better solutions, faster.
• Mission‑Driven: You’re unhappy with the status quo in building design, and you’re excited to have a chance to build something better.

Position Requirements

• Education and Professional Experience: You have a computer science degree and 4+ years’ experience working as a software developer.
• Technical Proficiency: You can demonstrate your abilities with code samples, a portfolio of completed work, and/or by walking us through technical design decisions you’ve made (and why).
• Portfolio of Problem Solving: You have a track record and/or portfolio demonstrating your ability to solve conceptually challenging problems.
• Agile and Adaptable: You are comfortable working in a lean startup: working in an agile fashion, pivoting based on lessons learned, and a willingness to help fill gaps.
• Relevant Specialized Experience (Preferred): While not a hard requirement, ideally you have experience with one or more of the following:
• Structural or mechanical engineering software implementation
• 3D design tools such as CAD, BIM, complex modeling, simulation/analysis (such as finite elements).
• Geometry‑heavy computing, including video games, graphics, scientific computing, or similar fields.

This is a permanent, full‑time position flexible on location.
