Job description

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 raised 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 seeking a pragmatic Software Engineer with a high-level of ownership and craft on our growing Config team. Reporting to the Software Manager and working closely with Product and Design partners, this role will drive features end-to-end across the stack on one of the core functions of our product.

What You'll Do

Expect to:

• Build and maintain full-stack features spanning UI, API layer, business logic, and data models
• Design and implement complex rule engines that manage pricing, inventory, availability, and constraint logic
• Architect extensible, maintainable systems that scale with growing product complexity
• Develop configuration and customization experiences where users navigate complex choices with many interdependent constraints
• Optimize backend performance including query tuning, N+1 resolution, indexing strategies, and scaling bottlenecks
• Build complex search, filtering, and querying systems across large datasets
• Bridge visual/design tools with underlying data and business logic layers (3D/CAD adjacency)

About You

You’re a highly versatile engineer who bridges 3D CAD models, pricing logic, regional availability rules, and product UX.

You have:

• 4+ years of full stack engineering experience building polished user-facing features.
• Professional competency with React, SQL, API design, and query optimization.
• Experience with configurator, customization, or rule-engine UX.
• Track record building extensible production systems.
• Strong UX intuition.
• An ability to reason about complex constrain systems.

A major plus if you also bring:

• Familiarity with 3D/CAD or visual-design-tool ecosystem.

While we've identified the core experience and skills required above, please still apply if you have more or different experience than this! We will use your previous experience and performance across the series of interviews to establish appropriate level within our organization in a fair and equitable way.
