Engineering Manager – Building Generation

📋 Description

• Oversee the planning and execution of the generative model, geometry pipeline, and BDG APIs.

• Collaborate with Product Managers early in the process to define PRDs, identify constraints, and evaluate feasibility prior to engineering teams taking charge of delivery.

• Assess technical proposals from your team and direct them appropriately — to the Director of Engineering when they pertain to your team, or to the ARC for cross-squad initiatives.

• Work in conjunction with other BDG Engineering Managers to maintain a consistent technical direction, interfaces, and platform coherence across both teams.

• Establish a clear contract between the building model and Higharc Studio’s interaction and rendering systems as its API surface evolves.

• Cultivate and mentor engineers, while attracting top talent in computational geometry and CAD throughout North America.

• Operate a team that prioritizes asynchronous communication, minimizes meetings, and emphasizes clear ownership and high accountability.

⛳️ Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years in software engineering with substantial experience in CAD/CAM or computational geometry, and at least 2 years in managing technically proficient engineering teams.

• Extensive knowledge in computational geometry, including boolean operations, mesh processing, BReps, constraint solving, or related fields.

• Strong proficiency in parametric and generative modeling of 2D and 3D geometries, encompassing feature-based modeling, history graphs, dependency propagation, and maintaining robust parametric systems at scale.

• Experience in platform development and API design for various internal (and ideally external) users, with a focus on versioning, performance, and developer experience.

• Familiarity with geometry kernels — whether commercial, open-source, or custom-built — and an understanding of their trade-offs.

• Proficiency in AI-supported software development practices and their active incorporation into your engineering workflow.

• Proven track record of delivery in a fast-paced, distributed environment.

• Must be located in the US or Canada.

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.

• Unlimited paid time off (PTO).

• Generous maternity/paternity leave for all full-time employees based in the U.S.

• Stipend to establish the perfect home office.
