About Revive Real Estate
Revive is a venture-backed proptech company built on the belief that the future starts at home. While most people see renovation as a project, we built it as a path to real wealth for homeowners. By connecting renovation with financing and selling, we create new ways to buy, sell, and unlock value, giving homeowners real control over their biggest asset.

At Revive, ownership is real and impact is visible. We move fast, challenge broken systems, and hold a high bar for clarity and outcomes. If you want to work on problems that matter and see your work translate into real-world change, this is where you will do your best work.

What we offer

• Competitive salary & benefits in a high-growth, VC-backed company
• Real ownership, clear accountability, and the authority to make decisions that matter
• Direct working relationships with Revive’s founders and senior leaders on initiatives that shape how the company grows
• The opportunity to design and build in a company where craft, clarity, and outcomes are valued
• A fast-moving environment where strong work leads to more responsibility and more opportunity
• Flexibility in how and where you work, paired with high expectations for impact
• A culture that values contribution, judgment, and follow-through over titles or tenure

Revive is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on contribution, capability, and alignment with how we work.

Why this role exists
Revive is scaling its ground-up development business, and structural engineering is critical to how fast, efficiently, and profitably we execute. With a growing pipeline of complex residential and multifamily projects across California, we need an in-house Structural Engineer who takes ownership from feasibility through construction, works shoulder to shoulder with architects, project managers, and builders, and makes smart engineering decisions that balance structural integrity, cost, and constructability. This role isn't just about calculations and stamped drawings. It's about identifying problems before they become expensive, challenging conventional approaches, reducing unnecessary costs, and keeping projects moving. Your work will directly impact project feasibility, construction timelines, profitability, and our ability to scale. We're looking for someone who thinks like a builder, operates with urgency, and takes pride in turning complex designs into real projects.

What you will do

• Own structural engineering across ground-up residential and applicable mixed-use projects, from initial feasibility through permitting and construction support.
• Develop structural designs, calculations, drawings, and construction documents for wood-frame, podium, concrete, and other applicable structural systems.
• Independently sign and stamp structural engineering work within your California licensure and professional authority.
• Work directly with our in-house architects, project managers, development team, and
