Job description

🏗 Help us close the housing gap in cities

At Cloud Apartments , we're reinventing how cities build. We design beautiful, efficient apartments that are manufactured in factories and assembled on-site faster, cheaper, and more predictably than traditional construction.

The U.S. is short millions of homes, and conventional development can't keep up. Cloud introduces a product-based approach to housing , combining modular design, scalable systems, and an asset-light operating model to deliver multifamily projects that actually pencil. Our team sits at the intersection of tech, real estate, and AEC , and we're growing fast. We have 2,500 units under our system, with leading partners in the construction industry.

🎯 The Role - Lead Architect

We're hiring an architect / lead designer to help us scale. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to do the work drawing, detailing, coordinating, iteratingand whos ready to jump into a small, fast-moving team.

Youll play a central role in both active project delivery and Clouds broader architectural product strategy. That means producing drawing sets, iterating on templates, translating site and code constraints into modular solutions, and managing consultant coordination and client relationships through permitting and construction. Youll be supporting not just design and documentation, but also business development, operations, and productization. Were flexible on structure (this can start part-time or contract), but were looking for someone whos excited to grow with us over the long term.

What you'll do :

  • Oversee design development from early feasibility to construction documentation
  • Own drawing production in Revit for conceptual studies, permits, and factory coordination. This includes creating and implementing design and drawing standards like standard details and drawing templates.
  • Translate zoning, site, and code conditions into modular-appropriate solutions
  • Oversee design development from early feasibility to construction documentation
  • Manage consultant coordination across architecture, structural, MEP, and other trades
  • Contribute to systematizing design including (but not limited to) : unit types, facades, and MEP integrations
  • Support design productization and standardization efforts to make design and manufacturing / construction faster and more efficient.
  • Support early-stage conversations with customers, including site feasibility and inputs for pricing exercises

🧩 You might be a fit if :

  • You are a registered architect in California or aspire to be a registered architect in California
  • Youre an architect with 8+ years of experience and ambition to grow an early stage company changing how housing is built
  • You know and understand building codes in California with a strong background in construction documentation
  • You are hyper organized, attentive to detail, and comfortable interfacing with customers
  • You operate fluently in Revit and BIM workflows , and ideally have experience building templates, families, and design systems
  • You love translating architectural problems into scalable solutions
  • You want to be part of a team, not just a set of redlinesyou're comfortable wearing many hats in a growing company
  • Youre not afraid to roll up your sleeves, figure things out, and hustle to get a project across the finish line; you take initiative and are proactive in your approach to problem solving
  • You care about equitynot just in the company (we offer it), but also in the mission of creating more accessible housing
  • 🔧 Logistics

  • Location : Preference for candidates based in California , but open to remote candidates for the right individual. We operate in a hybrid model, meeting consistently to co-work together
  • Structure : We typically do a contract to hire structure to give you ample time to test working with the team since we are a small group [nice to have, not a must have].
  • Benefits : Cloud Apartments also offers a comprehensive package of benefits competitive with the market for companies at our size and stage, including health insurance, 401K, and flexible paid time off.
  • We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you're excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply.Cloud Apartments is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetics, or any other basis forbidden under federal, state, or local law.
