We are a team of innovators with diverse experience in product design, architecture, and construction, changing the way we build to nurture people and our planet. We thrive in the fast-paced environment, and are strongly motivated by the belief in our potential for impact.

What You Will Be Doing
We are looking for someone with a passion for product design and integration, focused on bringing holistic thinking to the design, development, and delivery of our products and processes.

Deep industry expertise must be complemented by an ability to flex and fill in gaps as needed. You are independent and have strong intrinsic motivation in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment. You are a strong team player and can pivot quickly in the face of shifting priorities.

Focused on Modwall, our adaptable interior room system, you will lead product development to increase delivery efficiency, improve performance, and manage the process of turning designs into reality. You will work with our installation partners and customers in the field to ensure that our product is delivered smoothly and effectively.

Our ideal candidate has experience with design engineering and product development for construction projects. You will bring innovative thinking that is also pragmatic enough to be adopted broadly in the construction industry; and will understand how to organize product development workstreams and continuous improvements to meet project delivery and revenue goals.
