Join Samara in tackling California’s housing shortage and enabling people to attain sustainable housing without compromising design or quality. Our flagship product, Backyard , is a fully turnkey, premium accessory dwelling unit (ADU) designed for homeowners and real estate developers. As we expand our offerings and scale our in-house development initiatives, we’re at a pivotal moment, redefining homeownership through high-quality, attainable infill housing. Backed by top-tier investors, including Airbnb, Thrive Capital, and 8VC, Samara is positioned for significant growth and market impact. As one of the first hires on the Development team, you’ll also play a foundational role in defining and establishing site construction processes, procedures, and training programs for future hires. You will work closely with the Development, Acquisitions, and Construction teams to align efforts, refine workflows, and ensure successful project delivery. Samara ’s field operations are lean—site staffing is small and nimble, and this role requires hands-on leadership. Ideal candidates will balance a strong trade background (e.g. framing, general trades, site prep) with sophistication in scheduling, documentation, subcontractor management, and software systems integration. If you’re passionate about building high-quality housing and strive for continuously improving field operations, we’d love to hear from you. What You’ll Do Play a critical role on the Development Team supporting 4 or more projects at different stages of the project lifecycle. Manage construction phase project planning and support the development manager in procuring vendors. Lead daily field operations across multiple job sites largely focused on horizontal scope like —mobilization, layout, grading, utilities, foundations, site logistics, landscaping and final completion. Coordinate subcontractors and vendors, supervise scope execution, and ensure alignment with Samara ’s modular system methodology. Manage construction schedule and resources to meet milestones across all sites, including look‑aheads and conflict resolution. Produce daily logs, site photos, safety documentation, and weekly progress reports. Oversee quality control and compliance with California building codes, Cal‑OSHA
