Project Architect - Architecture & Design

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 delivery methods.

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

Inflection is the architecture arm of oWOW, built to deliver projects better, faster and more efficiently by acting as a platform, not a traditional production architect.

Each project is paired with external Architects of Record (AORs) and Engineers of Record (EORs) who bring local jurisdiction expertise. They own design decisions and QA/QC, while Inflection's BIM production teams handle documentation, ensuring projects are planned and coordinated efficiently from day one.

All teams work through the Inflection Platform, a shared environment that standardizes apartment units, prefabricated components, and offers design and technical automation tools to accelerate execution.

Offer a drastically different way to execute projects and to become the #1 player in the nation delivering housing through standardized products and systems.

Empower AOR's, EOR's and Production teams to do their best work, as a team, at a fraction of the time and cost for our customers.

The Project Architect will lead multifamily housing projects from concept through construction. You represent Inflection in every project, coordinate with AORs, EORs and our production team to ensure that projects are successfully delivered with high quality and in agreed timeframes.

If you’re tired of developing projects the “same old way”, this could be for you.

Project Leadership: Successfully manages teams of external AORs and EORs on multiple affordable multifamily housing projects from conceptual design through construction documentation. Technical Excellence: Achieve permit-ready and construction-ready drawing sets with no critical coordination gaps identified during reviews.

Maintain project schedules within ±5% of baseline milestones across all assigned projects.

Budget: Deliver all assigned projects within ±5% of internal budgeted design hours, with proactive coordination to prevent scope creep and rework.

Oversee success of the Production Team, and help improve Inflection Platform’s workflows and aid the continuous innovation of our design-build processes.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture; 7+ years of architectural experience, ideally on multifamily housing projects or similar project types like hospitality and healthcare.
