A bit about us:
We are a design-forward custom residential architecture and planning studio specializing in luxury homes throughout the Mountain West. Our work is highly site-specific and deeply considered, blending architectural vision with construction intelligence. Our team integrates architecture, interiors, engineering coordination, and visualization into a streamlined process that allows clients to fully understand their homes long before construction begins. We value buildable design, clear communication, and long-term relationships — with both clients and collaborators.
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to work on fewer, better projects — not high volume, not speculative, and not production-driven. The firm designs and delivers $10–25MM fully custom homes, where architectural intent, structural logic, and buildability are aligned from day one. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, exposed to the full lifecycle of a project, and supported by leadership that values clear thinking, strong coordination, and elegant solutions over flash. For the right person, this role offers:
- Meaningful design ownership
- Close collaboration with builders and engineers
- A high level of craft and technical rigor
- A very strong compensation package reflective of experience
- The chance to build a long-term career in Missoula, Montana

- Participate in client presentations and design discussions
- Maintain a high level of technical accuracy and attention to detail

Senior Architectural Designers with deep technical capability and Revit mastery
Designers who enjoy thinking through structure, not just aesthetics
Candidates coming from:

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Architect Jobs at Jobot
Align your portfolio to U.S. building codes
Before applying, reframe your portfolio around IBC and ADA compliance rather than your home country's standards. Jobot's clients expect Architects who can hit the ground running, and local code fluency signals that directly.
Clarify which entity files your H-1B
Jobot operates as a staffing firm, so your H-1B petition is typically filed by Jobot, not the end client. Confirm this distinction during screening so you understand who controls your status if the client engagement ends.
Get your NCARB record before interviewing
Jobot places Architects into roles where licensure is often expected immediately. Establishing your NCARB record and initiating any reciprocal licensure process before you receive an offer removes a common bottleneck that delays H-1B filing.
Target Jobot roles flagged as direct-hire
Jobot lists both contract and direct-hire positions. Direct-hire roles are more likely to support H-1B sponsorship through the full cap-subject lottery cycle. Filter for permanent placements and ask the recruiter explicitly before advancing.
Use Migrate Mate to surface Architect openings
Search Migrate Mate's job board to find Jobot's current Architect listings filtered by visa type. This narrows your outreach to roles where sponsorship has already been confirmed, saving time you'd otherwise spend cold-applying to positions that won't sponsor.
Time your application around the H-1B cap window
USCIS opens H-1B registration in March for an October 1 start date. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your OPT expiration relative to that timeline and ask Jobot whether they'll file a cap-gap extension to bridge any gap in your work authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Jobot sponsor H-1B visas for Architects?
Yes, Jobot has sponsored H-1B visas for Architect roles. Because Jobot is a staffing and recruiting firm, it typically acts as the petitioning employer on H-1B filings rather than the end client. You'll want to confirm sponsorship availability with your recruiter early in the process, as not every placement supports cap-subject H-1B petitions.
Which visa types are commonly used for Architect roles at Jobot?
Jobot has sponsored H-1B and TN visas for technical roles, and F-1 OPT holders are also eligible to work in Architect positions while their OPT period is active. TN visa is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals whose architecture credentials meet the USMCA qualifying criteria. H-1B remains the most common pathway for longer-term employment authorization in this role.
What qualifications and experience does Jobot expect for Architect roles?
Most Architect positions Jobot places require a professional degree in architecture, such as a B.Arch or M.Arch, along with demonstrated project experience. Licensure through NCARB or a state board is frequently listed as preferred or required. Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD is standard, and experience with commercial or institutional project delivery tends to appear across a broad range of Jobot's active listings.
How do I apply for Architect jobs at Jobot?
You can browse and apply for Architect positions at Jobot through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship type so you can identify relevant openings quickly. When you connect with a Jobot recruiter, specify your visa status and sponsorship needs upfront. Jobot's recruiting model means a recruiter will typically manage your submission to the end client, so the relationship with your Jobot contact matters.
How do I understand the timeline for H-1B sponsorship through Jobot?
If Jobot files a cap-subject H-1B for you, USCIS registration opens in March and an October 1 start date applies if selected. From offer acceptance to petition filing, plan for at least two to three months for the LCA certification through DOL and preparation of the I-129 petition. If you're currently on OPT, confirm whether your expiration date creates a gap requiring a cap-gap extension before you accept an offer.
