Architectural Domain Engineer

Drillo's Client is building AI tools for architecture and design coordination. We are looking for a highly capable Domain Engineer / Architectural Subject Matter Expert to work directly alongside our AI engineering team and help translate architectural practice into product logic.This person will serve as the architectural brain within the product development process — teaching engineers how architects think, reviewing model behavior and outputs, and ensuring the system produces guidance, terminology, and deliverables that align with the expectations of U.S.-based architectural practice.The right candidate is not only a strong architect, but also someone who can think systematically about how architectural knowledge gets translated into repeatable rules, workflows, QA standards, and product improvements.Key ResponsibilitiesWork closely with AI engineers to translate real-world architectural workflows, decision-making, and coordination logic into product behaviorTeach the engineering team how architects think across design, documentation, consultant coordination, and drawing productionReview, validate, and improve AI outputs to ensure they reflect professional architectural language, expected nomenclature, and practical standards used by U.S.-based architectsHelp define how the system should handle outputs across concept design, schematic design, design development, and construction documentationEnsure that architectural guidance generated by the platform is accurate, usable, and aligned with real project delivery expectationsIdentify outputs that may be technically plausible but do not reflect how architects actually communicate, document, or coordinateSupport the development of domain logic, training structures, QA workflows, and review standards that improve system reliabilityEvaluate how architecture integrates with structural and MEP systems, and help improve coordination logic across disciplinesWork with senior staff to receive direction, prioritize issues, and implement fixes into the system accurately and efficientlyCollaborate across product, engineering, and domain teams to improve platform quality and usabilityHelp shape a system that architects can trust in both language and technical reasoningRequired QualificationsDegree in Architecture requiredMinimum 8 years of professional architectural experienceRequired experience in residential and mixed-use projects; broader exposure to additional product types preferredHands-on involvement across the full architectural design stack, including:Concept designSchematic designDesign developmentConstruction drawings / construction documentationStrong experience coordinating with structural and MEP consultants, including integrating and overlaying consultant information into the architectural design and drawing setStrong working knowledge of:SketchUpArchiCADAutoCADRevitOther BIM and modeling toolsPrevious experience working on U.S.-based architecture projects is requiredDeep knowledge of architectural terminology, drawing standards, and documentation conventionsStrong understanding of drawing set organization, sheet logic, and annotation standardsStrong spoken and written English communication skillsAbility to communicate clearly with senior leadership and technical teamsAbility to take direction, implement changes, and work in a fast-moving environmentMust be able to work full-time during U.S. East Coast hoursPreferred QualificationsStrong interest in AI and enthusiasm for working with AI-native tools and workflowsAbility to confidently correct model outputs and explain why they are wrong or incompleteAbility to distinguish between design intent and documentation detail, and understand how each should be represented in system outputsFamiliarity with common consultant coordination pain points and multidisciplinary workflow challengesAbility to think systematically — not just as a designer, but as someone translating architectural practice into repeatable product logicExperience in QA, drawing review, technical review, or senior project coordination rolesComfort working between product, engineering, and domain teamsExposure to U.S. codes, standards, and common documentation expectations is highly valuableStrong attention to detail and a high bar for professional accuracyAbility to recognize when outputs are formally correct but still do not sound, read, or function like something an architect would produceWhat Success Looks LikeSuccess in this role means helping Client produce outputs that reflect the real logic, language, and coordination structure of architectural practice. You will play a central role in making sure the platform is not only technically capable, but also architecturally credible.You should be excited by the idea of helping engineers understand architecture more deeply — and helping AI systems produce work that feels aligned with how architects actually design, document, and communicate.
