Open Positions

Senior Architect / Urban Designer 

Cairo, Egypt · Full-time / Project-based

Tagānos is seeking a Senior Architect / Urban Designer to join its expanding interdisciplinary practice in Cairo and contribute to architectural and territorial projects in Egypt and the MENA region.

Tagānos works across architecture, urbanism and integrated territorial development. Our work approaches architecture, landscape, infrastructure, environment, mobility, programme and operations as interconnected components of a territory, developing design strategies capable of operating coherently across multiple scales.

The position requires a designer with strong architectural and urban intelligence, capable of moving between territorial analysis, strategic masterplanning and architectural design. We are particularly interested in candidates who combine conceptual clarity with rigorous spatial analysis and the ability to translate complex conditions into precise design propositions.

Responsibilities

• Undertake architectural, urban and territorial analysis across multiple scales.
• Develop spatial strategies, masterplanning concepts and architectural propositions.
• Analyse relationships between built form, landscape, infrastructure, mobility, programme and public realm.
• Translate research and quantitative and qualitative findings into spatial and architectural strategies.
• Produce high-quality analytical drawings, diagrams, mappings, models and presentations.
• Contribute to interdisciplinary workshops and design processes involving specialist consultants and project stakeholders.
• Work closely with the principal and project team in developing projects from strategic analysis through design.
• Contribute to the continued development of Tagānos’ architectural and territorial methodologies.
  
  
  

Profile

• Professional degree in Architecture, Urban Design or a closely related discipline.
• Approximately 5+ years of relevant professional experience, with demonstrated experience in architecture, urban design or masterplanning.
• Exceptional design and spatial reasoning capabilities.
• Strong understanding of urban morphology, programme, public realm and landscape/infrastructure relationships.
• Advanced proficiency in Rhino and Adobe Creative Suite; experience with Grasshopper and GIS is an advantage.
• Ability to work analytically and conceptually across scales, from territory to architecture.
• Excellent graphic and verbal communication skills.
• Professional proficiency in English; Arabic is an advantage.
• Experience in Egypt, the Middle East or comparable development contexts is advantageous but not essential.
  
  
  

We are interested in applicants whose work demonstrates intellectual independence, precision and an ability to operate beyond conventional disciplinary boundaries.

Spatial Data & GIS Analyst – Territorial Intelligence

Cairo, Egypt · Full-time / Project-based

Tagānos is seeking a Spatial Data & GIS Analyst to contribute to the development of its territorial intelligence capabilities and interdisciplinary projects in Egypt and the MENA region.

The position sits at the intersection of spatial analysis, urban research, geospatial data and design intelligence. The successful candidate will work with architects, urban designers and specialist collaborators to construct evidence-based readings of complex territories and translate spatial data into actionable development intelligence.

We are looking for someone capable not simply of producing maps, but of identifying meaningful spatial relationships, patterns and anomalies across urban, environmental, infrastructural, programmatic and socioeconomic systems.

Responsibilities

• Acquire, structure, clean and manage geospatial and territorial datasets.
• Undertake GIS-based analysis of land use, density, accessibility, mobility, infrastructure, environmental systems, amenities and development patterns.
• Develop spatial indicators, comparative analyses and territorial diagnostics.
• Integrate heterogeneous datasets from public, project-specific and remote-sensing sources.
• Produce precise analytical maps, spatial visualisations and data-driven diagrams.
• Support the identification of spatial relationships, discontinuities and development opportunities.
• Collaborate with architectural and urban design teams to translate analytical findings into spatial strategies.
• Develop reproducible analytical workflows using GIS, scripting and computational tools.
• Explore responsible applications of AI and machine-assisted analysis within territorial research while maintaining rigorous verification of data and outputs.
  
  
  

Profile

• Degree in GIS, Geoinformatics, Urban Planning, Geography, Architecture, Urban Analytics, Data Science or a related discipline.
• Strong proficiency in QGIS and/or ArcGIS.
• Experience working with spatial databases and heterogeneous geospatial datasets.
• Knowledge of Python, GeoPandas, PostGIS, remote sensing or Google Earth Engine is highly advantageous.
• Strong analytical and visual communication skills.
• Ability to move between quantitative evidence and spatial interpretation.
• Interest in architecture, urban development and the relationship between physical territory and data.
• Professional proficiency in English; Arabic is an advantage.
• Experience with Egyptian or Middle Eastern geospatial datasets is advantageous but not essential.
  
  

We particularly welcome candidates interested in developing new methods of territorial analysis at the intersection of design, data and emerging technologies.

Junior Interior Designer

Cairo, Egypt · Full-time / Project-based

Tagānos is seeking a Junior Interior Designer to join its expanding interdisciplinary practice in Cairo and contribute to interior, architectural and hospitality projects in Egypt and the MENA region.

Tagānos works across architecture, interiors, urbanism and integrated territorial development. Our approach considers interior space as an integral component of architecture, bringing together spatial organisation, materiality, furniture, lighting and technical systems within a coherent design framework.

The position is suited to an emerging designer with strong spatial sensibility, attention to detail and an interest in developing projects from concept through technical resolution and implementation. We are particularly interested in candidates who combine design ambition with precision and a strong understanding of materials and construction.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of interior design concepts, spatial layouts and material strategies.
• Produce plans, sections, elevations, reflected ceiling plans and detailed interior drawings.
• Develop joinery, furniture and custom architectural elements.
• Prepare material, finish, sanitary, lighting and furniture selections and specifications.
• Produce 3D models, visualisations, diagrams and presentation material.
• Assist in the preparation and coordination of tender and construction documentation.
• Coordinate design information with architects, engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and contractors.
• Conduct material and product research and maintain organised project specifications and schedules.
• Participate in site visits, documentation and design coordination during implementation.
• Contribute to the development of Tagānos’ interior and architectural design language across different project typologies.
  
  
  

Profile

• Professional degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, Architecture or a closely related discipline.
• 1–3 years of relevant professional experience.
• Strong spatial and design sensibility demonstrated through a carefully curated portfolio.
• Good understanding of materials, finishes, furniture, lighting and interior construction.
• Ability to produce precise architectural and interior drawings.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite; proficiency in Rhino and/or 3ds Max is highly advantageous.
