Architectural Designer

Job Description – Headless Collective

Location: Hyderabad

Commitment: Full-time/Long-term

About Us

At Headless Collective, we design and build spaces guided by one principle: form-follows-human.

For us architecture is grounded in science, logic, and human behavior — not subjective. We don't just design drawings; we build real spaces, obsessing over construction details, materials, and execution.

This is a fast-track growth environment: if you thrive on learning quickly, adapting to new tools, and constantly upgrading yourself, you'll feel right at home here.

We're expanding our team and looking for two long-term collaborators.
