Founding Engineer

Remote

The next decade of architecture will not be won with a better rendering engine. It will be won by whoever owns the layer that connects every drawing, every revision, and every decision an architect makes.

Layora is building that layer. We are the intelligence layer for architecture.

You will turn our product designer’s work into the real thing: the screens, flows and interactions architects actually use. As a founding engineer, the frontend you build now is the product the whole team ships on top of.

What You Will Do

  • •Turn designs and prototypes from our Founding Product Designer into shipped, production-quality product
  • •Build and own the frontend architecture, from components to state to how it talks to the backend
  • •Push back on and refine designs where implementation reveals a better path
  • •Ship fast and iterate directly against real feedback from architects testing early versions
  • •Work side by side with design to close the loop between what is designed and what is shipped
  • •Use modern AI-assisted tools as part of your everyday workflow

Requirements

  • •Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
  • •Strong fundamentals in frontend engineering: React/Next.js, component architecture, state management
  • •A sharp eye for translating design intent into pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces
  • •High agency, you do not wait to be told what to do
  • •Clear written and spoken English

Nice to Have

  • •Experience working directly from Figma files with a design system
  • •Comfortable working with LLMs in production, not just prompting demos
  • •Exposure to architecture, construction or spatial/3D tools (Rhino, Revit, SketchUp)
  • •Experience shipping a product from zero to one on a small team
