Speculative Application – Computational Designer (Architecture / Multidisciplinary Practice)
Write the algorithms that unlock fresh form-finding, performance optimisation and data-driven decision-making.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and community for architects, designers — and the technologists who stretch what’s possible. Our practice clients call on Computational Designers to weave code, geometry and analytics into every stage of a project, from concept massing to façade rationalisation and digital fabrication. They brief us early — often before any advert appears — so we keep an active shortlist ready.

What our clients typically ask for
Background in architecture (Part II / Part III), structural engineering, computer science or a related design-tech discipline

Fluency in Rhino + Grasshopper and/or Revit + Dynamo, with scripting skills in Python / C# (bonus: Speckle, Kangaroo, Ladybug, Houdini)

A portfolio that shows generative concepts, parametric detail development or optimisation studies grounded in real project constraints

Comfort bridging teams: translating architects’ intent into algorithms, and explaining outputs to engineers, contractors and clients

Familiarity with BIM workflows, data exchange standards (IFC, JSON, Excel) and version control (Git, Rhino.Inside, Revit API)

Curiosity and a solutions-focused mindset — equally happy prototyping R&D tools or turning scripts into daily production assets

If your work blends creative intuition with code-driven rigour, we’d love to see it.

Why Register With Architecture Social
Early access to opportunities is standard — studios brief us before computational roles go public. We match your software strengths, research interests and growth goals with the right environment, then support you with salary benchmarks, portfolio feedback and a discreet recruitment process that keeps you in control. Inside the Architecture Social platform you can also join peer forums, attend design-tech webinars and tap into practical career tools.
