 Overview

Pacaso is building a trusted network of pre-vetted contract designers to extend our internal design team as acquisition volume grows. This is not a traditional freelance posting. We are looking for experienced residential designers who want an ongoing source of well-defined, repeatable project work within a structured creative framework.

Contract designers work on a project-by-project basis — either per home or on a flexible retainer depending on pipeline needs — and are compensated on a flat project fee tied to FF&E budget scope. Designers who complete a successful pilot engagement are added to the approved Pacaso Design Partner Roster and are prioritized for future assignments.

The Opportunity

Pacaso homes are co-owned luxury residences — designed to feel elevated, personal, and effortlessly livable for multiple owners year-round. Our internal design team leads all creative direction, but with 33 projected acquisitions in 2026 and peak volume reaching 3–5 homes per month in Q3 and Q4, we are building an external partner network to scale alongside us.

As a contract designer, you will execute full FF&E design for individual Pacaso homes — from space planning through final documentation — working within Pacaso's brand standards, vendor frameworks, and production templates. The Senior Manager of Design reviews and approves all work at defined milestones.

Think of this as a hospitality-minded approach to residential design: beautiful spaces that are also durable, broadly appealing within a regional aesthetic, and built to perform across heavy use. If you thrive in structured creative environments and value steady, repeat work over one-off bespoke commissions, this is the right fit.

What You'll Do

Core Design Deliverables (per home)

• Develop space plans using your preferred tool
• Build a Design Schematic in Pacaso's Canva template, presenting concept direction and FF&E selections in a format ready for owner-facing use
• Specify full FF&E using Pacaso's preferred vendor list and sourcing frameworks
• Populate the Spec Book in Google Sheets with complete, accurate product and placement data
• Produce Placement Documents in Canva per Pacaso standards
• Attend all milestone reviews with the Senior Manager of Design: space plan, schematic/FF&E, budget alignment, and final documentation

Project Collaboration

• Receive and work from the Pacaso Design Assignment Packet provided at project kickoff
• Partner with Pacaso's Procurement and Sourcing teams to confirm product availability and budget compliance
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners (Operations, Onboarding, Logistics) to support successful installation
• Travel to onboardings and manage in-person staging and styling as needed (project-dependent)
• Communicate proactively, meet deadlines, and deliver clean documentation at every stage

Design Refresh & Ongoing Work

• Support existing Pacaso homes with replacement FF&E sourcing and periodic design audits
• Contribute to full-home design refreshes as assigned

What We're Looking For

Experience & Credentials

• Bachelor's degree in Interior Design or Architecture (NCIDQ / CID preferred)
• 5+ years of professional experience with a focus on high-end residential and/or hospitality design
• Demonstrated portfolio of luxury residential work with strong regional aesthetic sensibility
• Hospitality, multifamily, or investment residential experience is a strong plus — familiarity with client-directed, operationally conscious design processes
• Active project experience in or near one of our target markets (Kiawah/Charleston, South Florida, Mountain West, SoCal, or Wine Country)

Design & Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD required; SketchUp Pro and/or Rhino preferred
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) required
• Comfort working in Google Workspace (Slides, Sheets, Docs, Drive) and Canva — these are Pacaso's primary workflow tools
• Exceptional design presentation skills — your concept decks are polished, client-ready, and clearly communicate a point of view

Working Style & Mindset

• You thrive in structured creative environments and deliver excellent work within defined budgets and vendor frameworks
• You are documentation-oriented, deadline-driven, and easy to collaborate with remotely
• You bring a hospitality sensibility to residential work: spaces that feel personal and elevated without being precious
• You have the bandwidth and business structure to take on contract engagements alongside existing projects
• You operate as a registered business entity and carry professional liability insurance

How the Partnership Works

The Vetting Process

Every designer goes through the same process before being approved for a Pacaso home. This is a six-step process owned by the Senior Manager of Design:

• Portfolio review (internal, no contact required)
• Initial outreach — brief introduction to Pacaso's model and partnership structure
• 30-minute discovery call — assessing communication style, bandwidth, and fit
• Reference check — one to two past clients or collaborators
• Deep dive on one completed project — walk us through budget, vendor choices, documentation, and install
• Paid pilot engagement — one project together before formalizing the relationship

The pilot engagement is the most important step. It's an opportunity for both parties to experience the working relationship before making a longer-term commitment. Pacaso evaluates the work against our standards; you experience our process firsthand.

Once Approved

Approved designers are added to the Pacaso Design Partner Roster — a living document maintained by the Senior Manager of Design. There is no standing retainer or volume commitment. When a project is identified as appropriate for an external partner, we select from the approved roster based on market fit and availability.

Partners are evaluated after each engagement on timeliness, accuracy, budget discipline, ease of collaboration, and install outcomes. Strong performers are prioritized for future work.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager I to lead one of our autonomous feature squads. You'll own the day-to-day engineering leadership of a cross-functional team (1 PM, 1 Designer, 4–5 engineers) responsible for a meaningful area of the Shopmonkey platform. This is not a "project manager with an engineering title" role. You are technical, you are in the code, and you care deeply about how software gets built — not just that it ships. You won't be on the critical path for planned project work, but you'll be deeply involved in guiding your team through every phase of the SDLC: scoping, design, implementation, testing, release, and iteration. Your job is to make your team faster, sharper, and more effective — by coaching, unblocking, and identifying the gaps nobody else sees. You'll also contribute directly to the codebase. Not as a primary feature developer, but as a force multiplier — proactively improving code quality, tackling the work that falls between the cracks, and leading by example when it matters.

Our platform is built on two primary monorepos (backend and frontend) using TypeScript throughout. The stack includes React, Node.js, Next.js, Redux, and Redis on the application side; CockroachDB and ClickHouse for data; Synadia NATS for messaging; and GCP for infrastructure. We use OpenTelemetry and Prometheus for observability, with supporting services in TypeScript and Go. We don't expect expertise across all of these — we're looking for strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly.

What you will do:

• Lead a feature squad end-to-end: people, process, and technical direction.
• Own performance management for your engineers — regular 1:1s, growth conversations, honest feedback, and formal reviews.
• Partner closely with your PM and Designer to shape quarterly project plans that balance customer value, technical health, and business impact.
• Guide your team through the full SDLC — you should be competent and opinionated at every stage, from system design through production observability.
• Contribute to the codebase as a technical force multiplier: filling gaps, improving quality, and modeling engineering standards.
• Operate within our quarterly planning and 2-week cycle cadence, helping your squad maintain focus and predictability.
• Build and maintain a healthy remote-first team culture — clear communication, strong async habits, and flexibility balanced against team needs.
• Participate in hiring — sourcing, interviewing, and closing engineering talent for your squad and the broader org.

We are looking for people who have:

• 2+ years of formal engineering management experience, leading a team of software engineers through shipping production software.
• A strong technical foundation — you've built and operated production systems and can earn credibility with senior ICs through your technical judgment.
• Proven ability to coach and develop engineers across multiple levels.
• High emotional intelligence and communication skills. You navigate ambiguity, give hard feedback with care, and build trust quickly — especially important in a remote environment.
• Sound business judgment — you understand why the team is building what it's building, and you push back when priorities don't make sense.
• Experience working in cross-functional product teams (PM, Design, Engineering).
• Comfort with remote-first work across time zones. You value flexibility but put team needs first.

In the United States, the range is typically a salary of $145,000 to $180,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. The range provided is Shopmonkey’s reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount will be based on job-related and non-discriminatory factors such as location, experience, training, skills, and abilities. Consult with your Recruiter during the initial call to determine a more targeted range based on these job-related factors. In addition to this base compensation company stock options and benefits as outlined below are included.
