Higharc is a VC-backed startup transforming how new homes are designed and built. The company has raised over $175M from top-tier venture capital and 18+ strategic investors in construction, building products, and distribution. The founding team includes veterans from Autodesk, Electronic Arts, Nike, and Apple.
You will own analytics across the entire platform—from data modeling and metric definitions to customer-facing dashboards and internal reporting. This is a newly created role on the Software Engineering team, established because enterprise customers are asking increasingly sophisticated analytics questions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data models and views in Looker and Observable for both customer-facing and internal use
- Partner with engineering to ship polished, enterprise-grade customer analytics
- Work with Product and Customer Success to define metrics and build supporting reports
- Set direction for the analytics stack and determine where each reporting component should live
- Own data infrastructure and instrumentation decisions, including data flows between BigQuery, S3, and product analytics tools like PostHog
- Use data modeling, statistics, and analytical techniques to identify trends and anomalies
- Build a triage process for analytics requests across the organization
- Serve as the trusted authority on "what the data says"
You understand what matters to builders versus internal stakeholders. You're comfortable navigating competing requests and turning them into a coherent plan independently. You earn buy-in from infrastructure, integration, and frontend teams without managing them directly, and you can direct engineering priorities without owning the implementation yourself. You communicate fluently with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
Required qualifications:
- 6+ years in analytics, data science, or business intelligence with end-to-end ownership
- Strong SQL expertise and data modeling fundamentals
- Hands-on experience with BI/visualization tools (Looker, Observable, or similar)
- Experience with data warehouses and pipelines (BigQuery, S3, or equivalent)
- Product analytics tool experience (PostHog or similar)
- Track record building internal and customer-facing dashboards
- Ability to manage fast-paced, ambiguous projects with strong organization and independence
- Excellent judgment about data access and audience appropriateness
Desirable experience:
- Delivering analytics to large enterprise customers with custom reporting requirements
- Background in construction tech, homebuilding, or complex physical-world domains
