Archinect
Project Architect
Studio Katsibas Architecture | Los Angeles (Playa Vista), CA
Hybrid Position: 3 days in office, 2 days remote
Salary: $80,000 - $110,000 (based on experience)
About Us Studio Katsibas Architecture is a Los Angeles and London based architecture firm in its second year, founded on nearly a decade of experience building successful architecture practices in California and the UK. We specialize in residential and commercial projects, with active work in both cities.
We have a strong book of current projects and a healthy pipeline of future work, much of it from repeat clients. We're in a growth phase and looking to expand from our current team to five architects within the next 12 months. This is an opportunity to join early and help shape the practice as we scale.
What Sets Us Apart Excellent design and great ideas are fundamental to what we do, but what sets us apart is our commitment to exceptional client service. Our clients choose us, and come back to us, because we deliver high‑quality work with a ‘right first time, every time’ mentality. We're responsive, proactive, and relentless about keeping projects moving forward. This means actively managing consultants to meet deadlines, anticipating client needs before they ask, and taking ownership of the entire project experience.
If you take pride in producing high‑quality work, in being responsive, and solution‑oriented - if you understand that great architecture is as much about how you deliver it as what you deliver - you'll thrive here.

The Role We're looking to hire a Project Architect to take ownership of technical design and delivery on projects across both our LA and London offices. You'll work independently on complex assignments, coordinate with consultants, mentor junior staff, and help drive projects from planning through permit and construction phases.
This is a hands‑on role for someone who can move fast, think critically, and deliver quality work. You'll have the opportunity to work on projects in both cities and travel between our offices. You don’t need UK experience, we'll support you in understanding the differences in building codes and processes.

Prepare permit sets, planning submittals, and construction drawings
Navigate LA city zoning codes and CA Building Code requirements with confidence
Coordinate with structural, MEP, civil, and other consultants throughout project phases
Review and redline drawings from junior architects and consultants
Develop detailed construction details and specifications
Respond to plan check corrections and RFIs during construction
Work directly with clients, consultants, and contractors to solve design challenges
Mentor less experienced team members on technical standards and best practices
What You Bring
6+ years of professional architectural experience (majority in California)
Professional degree in Architecture
Strong proficiency in Revit – this will be tested at interview stage
Proven experience with LA city permit processes and zoning
Working knowledge of CA Building Code
Experience producing permit sets, planning documents, and construction drawings
Track record of seeing projects through construction
Strong detailing skills and technical documentation abilities
Ability to work with urgency and manage multiple deadlines
Excellent communication skills for consultant and client coordination
Work Environment
Hybrid flexibility: 3 days/week in our Playa Vista office, 2 days remote
Private office at Industrious (premium flexible working space with complimentary food, snacks, drinks, and regular community events)
Trans‑Atlantic practice: work on projects in both LA and London with opportunities for international travel
Collaborative studio environment with a friendly office golden retriever (dog‑friendly workplace)
Direct interaction with principals and clients
