Job description

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain production tools for the design team that are stable, save real time, and work well with our downstream design automation systems.
Collaborate with highly interdisciplinary teams to design and implement software automation that drives efficiency and throughput on the architecture and business development teams.
Build the exchange layer between our internal model and external MEP consultants so they don't bottleneck the process or lock us into their stack.
Build auto-takeoff from BIM to produce high-confidence estimates during design.
Build tooling that helps architects iterate through value-engineering options quickly.
Collaborate with software engineers to build and support reliable, effective tools.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in architecture or engineering, or equivalent experience.
3+ years experience in design/CAD/BIM automation, ideally in Type III or Type V / residential construction.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally and build consensus around a technical vision.
Strong general coding experience, ideally in Python and/or TypeScript.
Experience with automated testing and releases/deployments.
Used Revit in a professional setting and have built integrations with Revit yourself (such as Revit plugins, Dynamo, pyRevit, or APS).
Built API integrations with other systems (any protocol, just that you've interfaced with real-world external systems).
Foundational knowledge of parametric design.
Experience using coding agents; builds prototypes, collaborates, and gets to a solution rapidly. A 0-to-1 builder.

Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in design and automation tools, particularly in BIM and CAD environments, with a strong foundation in Python and TypeScript for developing integrations and enhancing architectural workflows. Proven ability to collaborate across teams to drive efficiency and implement technical solutions in residential construction.
