What is zHeight?

zHeight is a fast-growing, U.S.-based startup building a new model for residential architecture and permitting. We help American homeowners and contractors design and permit their dream homes — faster, better, and at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Our India team is the heart of this engine — made up of architects from IITs, NITs, and top global design schools — working with Silicon Valley precision, speed, and hustle.

We’ve already delivered 150+ permitted projects in California and beyond. We’re just getting started.

About the Role : Junior Architect

You’ll join our India delivery team and learn by doing. Not on practice projects. On real ones — from the U.S. residential market.

This is a craft-focused, execution-first role designed for high-potential architecture graduates ready to accelerate their learning curve. You’ll be surrounded by mentors, standards, and structure — but you’ll need to bring the ownership and curiosity.

What You’ll Do

• Work on schematic design, drafting, and construction drawing sets for real single-family residential projects in the U.S.
• Learn and apply U.S. residential building codes (IRC, CRC, energy codes, etc.) with speed and precision.
• Collaborate with project leads, senior architects, and QA reviewers to refine deliverables.
• Participate in internal design reviews, catch errors, and continuously improve output quality.
• Take full ownership of your projects — timelines, quality, iterations, and learnings.
