Architect/Job Captain

Founded in 1986, domusstudio architecture is a design-oriented studio built on a core philosophy: Creative + Sustainable + Enriching | Collaborative Design. We are an AIA, SDAF and national award-winning team driven by a simple but powerful mission—to create intentional spaces that truly make people think. Our diverse portfolio of owner-occupied projects spans sacred facilities, public and private K-12 and higher education campuses, fire stations, libraries, senior housing, and custom single-family residences. Every project we take on is uniquely tailored to its place, use, and goals. We are also deeply committed to the future of our planet, having officially signed onto the AIA 2030 Commitment with a clear goal of achieving net-zero emissions in the built environment.

We are looking for passionate, collaborative people to join our studio team. You will work directly alongside our Principals, Associates, and Project Managers, with the deliberate intent to be involved in projects from early concept all the way through construction completion. It is a highly collaborative environment designed for professional growth and meaningful impact.

Our daily workspace is a reflection of our design values. The studio directly overlooks Maple Canyon in San Diego's vibrant Bankers Hill neighborhood, offering an incredible, inspiring backdrop for your workday. Centrally located and highly accessible, the neighborhood boasts a Walk Score of 90 out of 100, meaning you are steps away from great local spots. Commuting is also a breeze, as our building sits just one block off of dedicated bike and transit lanes.

Minimum qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in architecture and six years of experience. This hourly position offers annualized compensation of $90,000–$130,000, commensurate with experience, plus bonus and profit-sharing opportunities. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the following:

· Required to be competent in all conventional aspects of architecture;

· Required to perform work requiring independent judgement in evaluation, selection and adaptation/modification of standard techniques, procedures and criteria;

· Independently solves problems encountered;

· Receives technical guidance on unusual or complex issues and supervisory approval on proposed project plans;

· Independently makes decisions on significant architectural design problems and methods;

· Requires excellent design skills, self-starter and personally motivated;

· Technically proficient in Revit;

· DSA and educational experience is a plus.

Our benefit package includes full coverage health insurance with optional policies, Flex Spending Account, three weeks PTO, fifty-six hours of paid holidays, 401K plan with an annual Profit Sharing contribution, and an Individual Development Support Fund for furthering education and professional membership dues with active participation. We value our personal time and growth experiences outside of the studio and work 40 hours/week, Monday-Thursday 7:30-5:30 with half days Friday 8-12. We are an E.O.E. and strive to implement strategies for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
