Job description
About Us
Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. Join a founding team who’ve shipped products for Autodesk, Electronic Arts, Nike, and Apple. We have raised over $175M with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors—industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution.
Higharc is seeking a QA Engineer to join our aggressively growing Engineering team.
In this role, you'll bring deep drafting and homebuilding expertise to our quality function, testing Higharc's platform with the eye of someone who knows what a production plan set should look like and why it matters.
What You'll Do
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. Expect to:
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.
About You
You understand how production homebuilding documentation works — not just conceptually, but from direct experience. You're organized, self-directed, and able to communicate clearly about software behavior. You hold a high bar for quality because you know what's at stake when builders are working from bad data.
You have:
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
Strong ability to stay organized and manage priorities in a fast-paced environment
Must be based in Brazil
A plus if you also bring:
Understanding of the software development and testing process
Experience working in an agile, fast-paced software team
Familiarity with tools for managing tests and bugs, like Linear and Qase
Familiarity with browser developer tools at a basic level
Basic understanding of how tests can be automated
Please note all business is conducted in English; fluent English is required.
