Life Here

A record-studio office that runs on tacos and travel

The Austin team's specialty is high-end student housing, the towers and wood-frame communities that ring campuses, and while plenty of it is right here for the University of Texas, the office built its brand on traveling, with projects in a dozen states from Michigan to Arizona. Founded in 2008 by engineers who moved down from the Pacific Northwest, it became DCI's most eastward hub and never asks a client to come to Texas. The new space is themed like a record studio, DCI projects printed onto the vinyl records lining the walls and everyone's name tag a 7-inch single, with music playing all day, weekly breakfast tacos, and potlucks that show off just how many places people are from.

What I’m most proud of is that we treat each other like family. We talk about the stuff that matters just as much as the work. I always say I work to live, I don’t live to work, but I love my job."

You might be a great fit if...

Austin fits an engineer who enjoys using their brain, someone who likes solving problems and isn't afraid to take responsibility for the answer. This team chases the weird, funky, and unfamiliar, the material or situation you've never seen, and wants people who lean in to figure it out rather than hand it off. Outside of work, they're an active bunch who make the most of Austin's trails, greenbelts, and water, heat and all.
