Architectural Designer (3-5 Years Experience)

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Local Candidates Only – Fully Remote or Hybrid)

Studio BANAA is seeking a creative and technically capable Architectural Designer with a minimum of 3 years of professional experience—ideally in commercial interiors or hospitality-focused work. This is a full-time position for someone who enjoys working across all project phases, values collaboration, and is excited about thoughtful, concept-driven design.

We are a hybrid architecture and interior design studio based in San Francisco, working primarily on café, restaurant, retail, and community-centered projects. Our operations are hybrid, we have the option to work in the office two times a week but are primarily hybrid. We do require all team members to be based in the Bay Area due to local project needs, site visits, and consultant coordination.

Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of experience in an architecture firm, preferably with a focus on hospitality or commercial interiors
  • Masters Degree from an accredited university is required
  • Proficiency in Revit and SketchUp is required
  • Ability to produce drawing sets independently and collaborate with a small team
  • Strong hand sketching ability; experience with digital sketching (e.g., on iPad) is a plus
  • Comfortable working independently and communicating effectively in a remote setting
  • Must be currently located in the San Francisco Bay Area

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Contribute to all phases of project development, from conceptual design and space planning through construction documentation and permitting
  • Work directly with clients, consultants, and contractors
  • Participate in internal design reviews and brainstorming sessions
  • Help develop thoughtful, well-detailed designs for spaces that are both beautiful and functional

What We Offer

  • Fully remote work environment (Bay Area site presence required when needed)
  • Full healthcare and dental insurance after a 3-month contract period
  • Generous paid time off and flexible work hours
  • Experience across a range of project types and scales
  • A collaborative, design-focused culture within a small, close-knit team
  • Opportunities for direct mentorship and growth in both design and project management

About Studio BANAA

Founded in San Francisco, we take pride in creating spaces that reflect the values and energy of the people who use them.
