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
