In 2024, we raised a $53M Series B fundraising round 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 looking for a detail-oriented mid to senior level professional with strong homebuilding design and drafting domain knowledge.

You will enhance Higharc's platform quality by collaborating closely with our Engineering and Product teams.

Your goal is to ensure a seamless, bug-free experience for builders.

• Apply mid to expert level drafting and homebuilding domain knowledge to improve platform quality.

• Manually test new features, regression scenarios, and complex user flows in a modern web-based CAD application.

• Write, maintain, and execute test cases based on product specifications and user stories.

• Collaborate with developers and PMs to understand technical implementations and identify edge cases in new features, before they reach end users.

• Log bugs using our issue tracking system (Linear).

• Validate fixes and contribute to QA sign-off for releases.

• Work with automated test output and support identifying gaps in test coverage so our automation engineers can help fill in those gaps.

• Participate in release QA coordination.

• Mid to expert level drafter with strong BIM modeling/CAD experience (Example - Revit / AutoCad).

• 3+ years in experience in production homebuilding, option management and documentation of master plan sets.

• Comfortable testing features involving real-time collaboration, 3D rendering, or document generation.

• Excellent written communication and bug-reporting skills.

• Know how software is built and tested. (Understanding of the development and testing process).

• Experience working in a fast-paced software team. (Agile development environment).

• Familiarity with tools for managing tests and bugs (we use software called Qase for managing test cases and Linear for bug reporting).

• Familiarity with browser developer tools at a basic level (so that if an engineer asks for console output or information from the networking tab, you know how to respond).

• Basic understanding of how tests can be automated. (Scripting or automation concepts).

• Work on meaningful tools to transform the homebuilding industry.

• Join a small, passionate team building complex, high-impact software.

• Collaborate with engineers, architects, and designers who care deeply about their craft.

• Flexible remote work and respectful, focused culture.
