About the Role

We are a design-driven architectural studio focused on creating exceptional spaces that balance form and function.

This role is ideal for a mid- to senior-level architect based in Latin America who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple responsibilities within a remote setup.

You will work on U.S.-based residential and commercial projects and play a key role in both creative and technical execution, as well as organizational tasks that help drive project momentum.
Key Responsibilities

• Feasibility Studies: Conduct early-stage feasibility analyses, including research into zoning, setbacks, building codes, and other regulatory factors across various U.S. jurisdictions.
• Technical Drafting: Produce and refine architectural drawings, including site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations, and construction documents using AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp.
• 3D Modeling & Visualization: Create models and renderings to communicate design intent, using tools like Lumion or V-Ray.
• Studio Operations: Assist with maintaining project schedules, organizing documentation, updating workflows, and other studio support activities.
• Client & Consultant Coordination: Interface with project stakeholders to ensure alignment with design intent, technical standards, and project goals.
• U.S. Market Familiarity: Understand and adapt to U.S. building standards, terminology, and regulatory requirements (learning curve acceptable).

What We're Looking For

• Experience: +10 years of professional architectural experience, ideally with U.S.-based or international project exposure.
• Skillset: Strong architectural design and technical skills, with the ability to balance creative output and studio administration.
• Portfolio: A compelling portfolio that highlights architectural design depth, technical documentation, and modeling/rendering capabilities.
• Software Proficiency: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Adobe Suite, and rendering tools like V-Ray or Lumion.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work effectively in a remote team.
• Self-Starter: Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive in managing projects and tasks with minimal oversight.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: Based on experience and skill level.
• Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere in LATAM with a flexible schedule.
• Creative Autonomy: Contribute meaningfully to diverse and engaging U.S.-based projects.
• Long-Term Opportunity: Indefinite contract with potential for full-time conversion and salary growth.
• Supportive Partnership: Ongoing support and engagement from our recruiting team to ensure long-term success.
