I’m excited to announce another awesome addition to the Arcol team. Thomas will be joining as Head of Engineering.
Thomas joins us from Render where he was an engineering manager. Notably, Thomas also spent ~4 years at Figma first as IC and then as an engineering pillar lead.
We’re excited for him to bring all that experience to helping us both build Arcol’s product and our engineering team.
Here’s a little from Thomas:
I’m extremely excited to be taking on the Head of Eng role at Arcol! In a past life at Figma, I saw firsthand the power of bringing modern collaborative-first workflows to software design teams, allowing the creative process to flow faster and more smoothly than ever possible before. Bringing a similar shift and rethinking what collaboration looks like for everyone doing architectural design work is an exciting challenge with tons of possibility and deep technical complexity to tackle, and one I’m excited to get to help with! It’s also a problem space near to my heart, as both my parents are architects and I was raised with it — seeing the creative design process and the deep craft and care that goes into every project, but also the challenges of collaboration. Can’t wait to get going!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, a core part of my thesis for building Arcol is to focus on having a small, lean team that is incredibly talented. We are extremely patient in hiring for Arcol, getting to work with incredible people like Thomas is what makes it worth it.
