Higharc
Higharc is the all-in-one platform for home building that simplifies, connects and improves each step of the design, construction and sales process.
Why join us?
We’re Figma for home design. Higharc is transforming how homes are designed, sold, and built. We’ve built a web-based home modeling tool that creates real home plans. We're passionate about improving the experience for both homebuilders and homebuyers.
Our team led design automation at Autodesk, launched 3D printing unicorns, shipped AAA games, and led product for top US homebuilders.
Higharc has been remote-first since our founding in 2018. Set your own hours so that you do your best work without missing out on life. Higharc offers competitive salaries with significant equity in a fast-growing, well-funded company.
Engineering at Higharc
Our team values focus. We prioritize low friction, simple as possible processes. We write tests, but aren’t dogmatic about it. We contribute back to open source. We value a small efficient node_modules directory. We have no legacy code to maintain/interface with. We think engineering tooling is part of the product. We use infrastructure as code, so there’s an audit trail for all changes. We use engineering design documents for major technical decisions. We set quarterly goals and practice kanban.
We are always pushing the limits of what’s possible in a browser. Performance is paramount, but we also need to be able to present homes in a compelling way.

Working at Higharc
We've been remote-first since our founding in 2018. We're tackling some hard problems but we don't take ourselves too seriously. A healthy balance of asynchronous and synchronous communication lets us prioritize heads-down, focused work. We encourage each other and we value feedback.
We're passionate about changing the homebuilding industry. We firmly believe in the power of home and the transformative effect a thoughtful, well-designed and constructed home can have on your life and family. We're a team of pet-lovers, musicians, and foodies.
Higharc is a diverse company, and we firmly believe the world works best when people of all backgrounds work together.
Good ideas can come from anywhere. We believe diversity of thought, culture, background, and perspective are essential to building a strong company. We prioritize support and encouragement of each other’s work.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive workplace, we are happy to offer prospective engineers the chance to connect with our engineering employees who come from underrepresented backgrounds. It’s a way to get a better sense of our team and what it might be like to work with us.
