Structural Engineer - 16712 at Somewhere Confidential Engineering & Technology Company About the Company Innovation dies when it’s trapped in a spreadsheet. We empower structural engineers to spend more time thinking and less time doing by replacing outdated, manual workflows with modern cloud-based design tools. Our structural calculators already power 50,000+ projects per year worldwide, and we are only getting started. We are building the future of structural design by transforming complex engineering workflows into intuitive, best-practice digital tools used by thousands of engineers across the globe. If you're passionate about solving real-world engineering problems, creating tools that engineers love, and shaping the next generation of design automation, this is the ideal environment. Role Overview We are seeking a Structural Engineer based in Colombia (Bogotá preferred) or the broader LATAM region to join our fast-growing engineering team. This role blends hands‑on structural engineering with the opportunity to help build, test, and ship structural calculators and digital workflows used globally. You’ll collaborate closely with senior technical leadership and a 12+ person engineering team, contributing to high-quality structural deliverables while influencing the digital tools that power modern engineering. This is a full-time, high‑impact role with long‑term growth opportunities — including potential pathways into customer success leadership or regional calculator teams as the company expands. Your Impact Ship calculators fast: Build and improve tools for foundations, retaining walls, RC/steel/timber systems, and more using our no‑code calculator builder. Empower engineers at scale: Convert complex engineering standards into intuitive, reliable digital tools. Amplify your expertise: Create calculators used by thousands of engineers; iterate based on real customer feedback. Champion accuracy: Own QA, review outputs, write tests, and identify edge cases to ensure trust and reliability. Take radical ownership: Operate like a hybrid technical/product partner alongside product, dev, and customer success teams. Innovate constantly: Help design new workflows, tools, and AI‑powered helpers that reduce design cycles from hours to seconds. Key Responsibilities Produce structural designs, plans, detailed drawings, and full calculation packages. Perform structural analyses for steel, concrete, timber, frames, foundations, retaining structures, and more. Apply and interpret local and international building codes, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Transform architectural concepts into efficient and code‑compliant structural solutions. Participate in engineering reviews, QA/QC, documentation, and internal workflow improvements. Collaborate with a high‑performance engineering team operating within a tech‑driven environment. Contribute to the development, testing, and validation of structural calculators and design tools. What You’ll Bring Technical Skills 2–4+ years of hands‑on structural engineering experience. Deep experience with steel and concrete design, including independent calculations and drawing production. Familiarity with U.S. engineering codes and standards (ASCE, ACI, AISC, etc.). Proficiency with tools like Excel or Mathcad; interest in Python/JS is a plus (not required). Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering (Master’s welcome but not required). Must be a specialized structural engineer, not a generalist civil engineer or architectural drafter. Mindset & Soft Skills Excellent communication and technical clarity. Strong attention to detail and quality control. Proactive, growth‑oriented, and ownership‑driven mindset. Experience leading projects or mentoring teammates is highly valued. Comfortable working in fast‑paced, tech-enabled engineering environments. Salary & Benefits Salary: COP $100,000,000–$130,000,000 annually (experience‑based) Bonus: Team bonus up to 5% Equity: Participation in a fast‑growing, profitable SaaS platform Annual learning & development budget A culture focused on speed, innovation, and shipping How to Apply Submit your CV or LinkedIn profile (cover letter optional).
