Job description

About oWOW

oWOW is a vertically integrated real estate development platform headquartered in Oakland. We accelerate housing abundance by integrating design, manufacturing, and construction into a scalable, repeatable system.


Through mass timber, prefabricated façade systems, and componentized construction, we deliver high-quality multifamily housing at materially lower cost and compressed schedules compared to conventional methods.


Our goal is to deliver 2,000+ units annually by 2026 through a production-based model.


The Role

The Project Architect will lead architectural execution within oWOW’s standardized housing platform. This is a production-oriented role embedded in a fully integrated development and construction ecosystem.


You will ensure technical excellence, platform consistency, and documentation precision across multiple concurrent projects.


What You’ll Do

Platform Execution

  • Apply and refine repeatable unit types, façade systems, and structural frameworks for up to 4 projects simultaneously.
  • Coordinate closely with internal development, R&D, and construction teams.

Technical Leadership

  • Own detailing, constructability review, and California Building Code compliance.
  • Ensure adherence to ADA, Fair Housing, and local accessibility standards.
  • Coordinate structural (including mass timber), MEP, fire/life safety, and envelope systems.

Documentation & Permitting

  • Oversee coordinated construction documents in Revit.
  • Support rapid Entitlement and permitting cycles.
  • Maintain drawing standards aligned with oWOW’s product platform.

Schedule & Delivery

  • Maintain aggressive design schedules aligned with construction starts.
  • Contribute to cost certainty through early technical coordination and value engineering.


Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of experience (excluding internships) from conceptual through construction administration, including coordinating and managing consultant teams, in California or US context
  • Affordable housing, mid-rise, or high-rise urban residential projects are a plus.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Licensure

  • California Licensed Architect preferred, or ability to obtain.


Technical Expertise

  • Advanced proficiency in Revit.
  • Strong technical knowledge of steel construction, and/or of mass timber systems and/or prefabrication, is a plus.
  • Familiarity with California permitting processes and urban infill regulations.


Software

Revit, Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, Google Workspace, Procore (or similar).


Why This Role Matters

oWOW is not building one-off projects. We are building a scalable housing system.

If you’re motivated by technical rigor, industrialized construction, and delivering housing faster and more affordably, this is a rare opportunity to shape a next-generation development platform.
