Populous is where architects and designers of all kinds create moments bigger than ourselves.

Who We Are Looking For: We're seeking an early-career Computational Designer to join our Global Digital team. This role sits at the intersection of design and technology. You will support project teams in solving complex design challenges while contributing to the development of computational tools, workflows, and systems used across Populous. You will work on real projects; exploring geometry, rationalizing design intent, and improving delivery, while also building reusable tools that enhance how we design at scale. This is an ideal role for someone with strong foundational skill in computational design who is looking to grow into a more advanced and impactful position. We're looking for someone who is curious, structed in their thinking, and motivated to grow in computational design. You don't need to know everything.
