Principal Product Manager, Computer Vision

Why Hover wants you 

At Hover, our Computer Vision (CV) and human-in-the-loop (HITL) systems transform raw property imagery into structured outputs that fuel the most advanced property intelligence platform in the world. We’re hiring a Product leader to own the roadmap for how these systems improve over time—driving accuracy, automation, reliability, and scalability across models, tooling, and production workflows.

You’ll partner with CV/ML engineering, operations, and QA to turn ambiguous real-world data problems into clear product requirements, measurable outcomes, and shipped improvements. This is a highly cross-functional role where success means translating customer needs and business goals into a system that performs at scale (millions of properties per year) with consistently high quality and predictable SLAs.

You will contribute by

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for our CV + HITL pipeline: accuracy, automation, throughput, cost, and customer SLA performance.
• Translate customer and business needs into product requirements for CV/ML systems, HITL tooling, QA processes, and operational workflows.
• Partner with CV/ML engineering to define model deployment plans, iteration cycles, and the product “surface area” around models (tooling, feedback loops, evaluation, monitoring).
• Define and operationalize quality metrics: set targets, build scorecards, design evaluation frameworks (gold sets, sampling, audit programs), and drive quality improvements over time.
• Drive feedback loops and prioritization: analyze errors/failure modes, quantify impact, and prioritize fixes across product, engineering, and operations.
• Own pipeline-level instrumentation and visibility: ensure we have the dashboards, alerts, and leading indicators needed to detect drift, manage risk, and communicate performance.
• Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, ops/QA, and vendor/BPO partners—aligning on goals, timelines, tradeoffs, and launch readiness.
• Ship continuous improvements across tools, workflows, and vendor processes that reduce manual touch and increase automation without sacrificing accuracy.
• Create clarity in ambiguity: write crisp problem statements, define success metrics, and make high-quality tradeoffs when speed, cost, and quality compete.

Your background includes

• Have 8+ years of product management experience (or adjacent experience) owning technical products—ideally in CV/ML, data products, workflow tooling, or production systems.
• Understand the ML lifecycle well enough to lead: model limitations, annotation/labeling, evaluation, edge cases, and production monitoring (you don’t need to code).
• Are comfortable in highly cross-functional environments spanning engineering + ops + QA, and can drive alignment and execution through ambiguity.
• Are metrics-driven and can define success rigorously (quality metrics, automation rate, cycle time, SLA attainment, cost-to-serve).
• Have strong product judgment and can make tradeoffs when quality, speed, and cost are in tension.
