Architecture Lead, Ready to Build

About the role

This role sits at the intersection of residential architecture, systems thinking, and product design. You're not here to design individual homes — you're here to design the system that produces them.

Responsibilities

• Develop catalogs of rooms, groupings, and massings designed as reusable components with defined relationships, constraints, and configuration logic
• Establish the rules of assembly — what connects, what's constrained, what produces structurally sound and aesthetically coherent homes
• Translate deep residential design intuition into structured, repeatable patterns that can be systematized
• Partner with plan development leads to ensure the design system produces homes that are buildable, code-compliant, and market-ready
• Contribute to standard details, design guidelines, and modeling best practices that support automation and scalability
• Help define a new programming language, in effect, for how homes are created

Requirements

• You love homes. You understand intuitively what makes a floor plan work — how rooms relate to each other, how proportion and flow create livability, what separates a house from a home.
• You have: Experience in residential architecture with hands-on home design and construction knowledge
• A systems design mindset — you're drawn to designing the rules, not just applying them
• Comfort at the intersection of design and technology, and enthusiasm for encoding design decisions into software
• Experience with parametric design tools and computational approaches
• A licensed architect credential
• Strong collaboration instincts — you can work across disciplines and translate between design intuition and technical constraints

Qualifications

• Experience with catalog housing, plan libraries, or product-line residential design
• Exposure to prefab, modular, or mass-customization housing approaches
• Familiarity with BIM platforms and computational design tools like Grasshopper or Dynamo
