Sr. Software Engineer, Estimate

Higharc is an AI-powered homebuilding platform that streamlines the entire design-to-construction process for residential builders. The platform enables homebuilders to design homes from scratch, configure market-proven plans, and automatically generate shoppable 3D visuals, accurate material estimates, and permit-ready construction documents. By connecting design, sales, and construction workflows in a single system, Higharc helps builders reduce costs, accelerate community launches, and improve operational efficiency at scale.

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 over $175M with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors—industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution.

We’re seeking Full Stack Software Engineers to join an exciting function within our Higharc product suite. Estimate is a first-of-its-kind product that turns generative building designs into instant, reliable material takeoffs, shrinking days of estimating into minutes.

What You'll Do

• Work across a large surface area of our product – optimizing queries, building React components, establishing frontend state patterns, writing e2e tests, integrating external APIs, and occasionally digging into our CAD and geometry layers.

• Own projects end-to-end: work cross-functionally to shape product solutions, translate requirements into actionable engineering work, and communicate risks and opportunities early – without needing heavy overhead to get there.

• Maintain high code quality through risk-based tests and thoughtful code reviews.

About You

• You're a generalist engineer who moves fluidly across a codebase. Full-stack proficiency is a starting requirement, but what we're really looking for is range: someone equally comfortable untangling a tricky SQL performance issue, building a niche canvas visualization component, or navigating an unfamiliar API.

• You push into unknown territory rather than waiting for a clear path to be laid out – taking initiative when requirements are ambiguous, coordinating across functions to get unblocked, and driving toward a solution. You have a track record of owning features end-to-end and bringing others along with you.

• You have strong TypeScript/JavaScript fundamentals and solid experience with React, Node.js, REST, and SQL.

• You are drawn to creating software for the built world. This doesn't mean you need industry experience – it might be a renovation you've done, an interest in how buildings actually come together, or just a pull toward software that connects to something physical and real.

• Experience with graphics, geometry, or spatial programming is a plus – not because it's required day-to-day, but because you shouldn't be averse to that kind of work when it comes up
