Job description

About H+O Structural Engineering specializes in mid-rise, high-rise and large scale building design. We're building a national company, serving architects and real estate developers across the US. Our mission is simple: A Better Experience. For our team. For our clients. We're building a software platform that connects BIM tools (like Revit) with structural analysis engines, automating the slow, manual data exchange that structural engineers deal with today. Think of it as the interoperability layer for modern structural design making building data flow seamlessly across the tools engineers use every day.

Role

This is a fully remote, full-time 1099 independent contractor role. You'll be joining a distributed team of collaborators across multiple time zones, working on meaningful problems at the intersection of software and structural engineering. We're looking for someone who thrives in an async-friendly environment and communicates well across a global team. Candidates must be available to work a full 8-hour day within the 5:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST window.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain WPF desktop applications using a strict MVVM architecture
• Design clean, reusable Views, ViewModels, and DataTemplates
• Design and implement 2D and 3D viewports
• Build state-driven UIs for complex engineering workflows
• Integrate UI with .NET backend services and external systems
• Ensure correct command behaviour (enable/disable, async execution, UI state)
• Improve performance, responsiveness, and consistency of the UI layer
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers while following the design language
• Collaborate closely with engineers on domain-specific workflows

Requirements

• Solid experience with C# and .NET
• Strong understanding of WPF (Bindings, Styles, Templates, Resources)
• Practical experience with MVVM (e.g. CommunityToolkit.Mvvm or similar)
• Ability to build UI with clear separation of concerns
• Experience with dependency injection and application composition (e.g. Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting)
• Experience with data-driven UIs and complex state management
• Ability to work across different UI paradigms (desktop and web)
• Comfortable working asynchronously with a globally distributed remote team
• Reliable availability for a full 8-hour workday within the 5:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST window
• Full professional fluency in English, as this role involves frequent written and verbal collaboration across a distributed team

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ASP.NET Core or Blazor (or other web UI technologies)
• Experience with engineering, CAD, or BIM-related software
• Experience working with 3D data or visualisation (e.g. viewports, geometry, CAD-like systems)
• Familiarity with performance-sensitive desktop applications
• Interest in structural or architectural workflows
