Computational design is reshaping how architecture is conceived, tested and delivered — and the practices leading that shift need specialists who can bridge creativity and code.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy that works with architecture, engineering and construction practices across London who are investing seriously in computational design and design technology. We are regularly briefed on senior roles for specialists who can develop custom tools, automate workflows and embed data-driven thinking into the design process from concept through to documentation.
What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Proficiency in at least two visual programming environments such as Grasshopper, Dynamo or similar
• Strong scripting skills in Python, C# or both, with experience developing custom plugins or tools
• Ability to create parametric models, perform geometric optimisation and automate design processes
• Collaborative approach — working alongside architects, engineers and sustainability consultants
• Experience translating complex computational concepts into practical studio workflows
• Background in architecture, engineering or computer science with computational design specialism
• Willingness to share knowledge and upskill colleagues in computational design thinking
If your work sits at the intersection of design and technology, and you thrive on solving complex spatial problems through code, we want to hear from you.
Why Register With Architecture Social

We take the time to understand your technical strengths, creative interests and career goals, and we introduce you to roles where you can make a real impact.
