    Description

    Drafted is unlocking creativity in the physical world. We're building foundational models and generative pipelines that create floor plans and renderings instantly, so anyone can imagine their dream home. Starting with single-family homes, we plan to verticalize across all dimensions of the pre‑construction stack.

    Generative architecture is a prime domain for applied research with abundant data, verifiable constraints, and a clear value proposition. Our team of second‑time founders, engineers, and designers pairs exceptional product taste with deep technical rigor to turn real‑world buildability constraints into an intuitive, creative experience.

    Drafted's Values

    • Own the mission. We take agency, act like owners, and see problems through to real outcomes.
    • Build in the open. We value direct feedback, fast learning, and growth through honest collaboration.
    • Move with care and speed. We iterate quickly while staying deeply respectful of our teammates.
    • Seek the why. We challenge assumptions, think from first principles, and never stop asking questions.
    • Design for everyone. We believe anyone should be able to design and build a home they love.
    • Solve what matters. We embrace hard problems and create new paths forward when none exist.

    The Role


    As a design engineer, you'll contribute meaningfully to the end‑to‑end experience, from prompting and ideation workflows to the tools users rely on to iterate, edit, and visualize their designs. Our product blends exceptional product craft with deep technical work, so you'll collaborate closely with design, engineering and research.

    Example Projects

    • Design, implement, & iterate on editing generated plans using our existing machine learning model capabilities.
    • Design, implement, and iterate on how users guide the output home design with new model controls (i.e. multi‑floor, exterior design, etc).
    • Design, implement, and iterate on the existing user interface to reduce friction and increase the number of users creating a home they love.

    Desired Skillset

    • Experience with making high quality, detailed, and maximally implementable Figma designs
    • Experience writing + Tailwind front ends
    • Experience with Typescript backend code using standard relational databases
