DNM Architecture is Hiring

Emerging Architect – Submit resume and supporting material

DNM Architecture is a 9-person Sausalito-based architecture practice with projects throughout the SF Bay Area and Southern California. We are focused on residential work (new homes, ADUs, multi family, remodels, additions) with additional education and commercial projects. We have a strong interest in modernism, new construction methods and materials, energy efficiency and sustainability.

We are seeking a detail-oriented person who is passionate about architecture and becoming an architect. While there is no specific experience requirement, some real-world experience in Type V construction, building codes, permitting, developing construction details and documents, product research and specifications are big bonuses. We prefer experience using ArchiCAD (our CAD platform), but we can train as well (it’s easy!).

Candidates should have a degree in architecture or be on track to earn a degree. This is a junior position from which we expect candidates to grow into fully licensed architects.

We offer a great collaborative work environment where everyone potentially works on every project. We’re looking for people who are passionate about making great architecture, self-motivated, organized, intellectually curious, and team players. If you think this describes you, we would like to meet you! We offer a competitive salary and a great location in Sausalito… and Fun!

How to Apply / Contact

  • Candidates should email a statement of interest and resume to [email protected]. PLEASE no phone calls or drop-ins.
  • Please provide educational background, relevant work experience and samples of construction documents or relevant work.
  • A professional degree in architecture is strongly preferred, but not required. Real world experience with wood construction and working with codes and building departments is preferred, but not required.
  • We are unable to accept applications from candidates without US citizenship, green cards or other long term work authority. We are unable to pay relocation costs.


Salary is competitive and depends on experience. We offer PTO, holidays and matching IRA contributions after two years. Hours are flexible. Limited work from home is OK, but applicants must be local to visit job sites and building departments.

This is a full time position, but part time will be considered.
