About Spacial:
At Spacial, we’re redefining how the built world gets designed, engineered, and approved. With decades of combined experience across architecture, engineering, and construction, we’ve felt the industry’s pain points firsthand — slow approvals, endless redlines, and unclear requirements that derail even the best designs.

We built Spacial to fix that. Our AI-powered platform automates structural and MEP engineering, transforming 2D plans into permit-ready, code-compliant drawings in days, not months.

This isn’t just optimization. It’s a new standard built to give the AEC industry speed, clarity, and control from day one. By connecting architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners on a single platform, Spacial eliminates friction, streamlines approvals, and accelerates how ideas become reality.

What You'll Do

  • Own major product initiatives across the plan to permit lifecycle, including drafting, engineering, compliance, review, submission, and revisions, from discovery through launch

  • Define and execute product strategy for key areas of the platform, translating company goals into clear roadmaps, milestones, and measurable outcomes

  • Partner deeply with engineering teams to deliver automation features, human in the loop workflows, quality validation systems, and scalable review and approval loops

  • Build high trust experiences that balance speed with correctness, ensuring outputs are auditable, explainable, and meet the standards required for permitting

  • Improve code compliance and permit readiness workflows, including local code validation, municipality requirements, revision iteration, and approvals

  • Drive customer outcomes and adoption, collaborating with Sales and Customer Success to identify bottlenecks, remove product friction, and improve retention and expansion

  • Use data and qualitative insights to guide decisions, defining KPIs such as time to permit, approval rate, revision cycles, plan quality, and cost savings

  • Stay close to the customer, regularly interviewing architects, builders, engineers, and internal stakeholders to validate needs and test solutions
