What the job involves

- Your work will have a lasting, real-world impact and play a critical role in shaping the future of the homebuilding industry
- Lead the design of intuitive, scalable user experiences across Higharc’s platform
- Translate complex, detailed workflows into simple, elegant solutions
- Partner closely with homebuilders, suppliers, contractors, and buyers to understand their needs and pain points

- Influence the strategic direction of the product by bringing a strong design perspective to every conversation
Our take
The housing market is trending toward a recession, signaling the return to a buyers’ market. This should be great news for buyers, but the current housing shortage means most new builds lack customization, as reduced variability allows builders to anticipate and quickly execute new builds.
Higharc’s software automates and optimizes every step of the home building process, creating a fully customizable 3D model that is seamlessly translated into blueprints, resulting in better-built homes by eliminating material waste and costly errors, and saving consumers from cookie-cutter houses.
The all-in-one homebuilding platform raised additional funding in early 2024, with a strategic investment from Spark Capital. This addition will help the company further optimize its offerings and fuel its growth.
