Lead the design and development of advanced computer vision algorithms for 3D reconstruction, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver production-grade software.
Hover is making the homeowner journey easy, transparent and fun. Starting with the home improvement industry, we’re answering age-old questions like, “What is it going to look like?” and “What is it going to cost?”, by helping homeowners and pros visualize what’s possible with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and interactive 3D property models. Homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals all use Hover to get fully measured, accurate, and interactive models of any property—in a matter of minutes, and with just a few snaps of a smartphone camera.
Join a team that is rooted in challenging the status quo, persistence, and dedicated to serving our employees, customers, and communities. With key investors, including Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures and leading insurance carriers such as Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide, Hover is committed to changing the world, one home at a time. At Hover, we believe there is strength in diversity and are fostering an inclusive and diverse culture by hiring qualified, talented people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Computer Vision is not just part of our product — it's foundational to our mission and future. We're looking for a deeply technical, visionary engineer to expand the core components of our 3D data platform. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys translating advanced research into practical, production-ready solutions and who is comfortable taking ownership while working closely with cross-functional teams.
You’ll be joining a world-class team of engineers and researchers building intelligent systems that solve real-world spatial problems. Your work will span theory, experimentation, and deployment, and you'll play a pivotal role in bringing scalable, high-performing computer vision systems into production.
In this role, you will lead the design and development of advanced computer vision algorithms and pipelines focused on 3D reconstruction, scene understanding, and structured semantic modeling. You will own the full lifecycle of these solutions — from rapid prototyping to delivering robust, production-grade software that powers our 3D measurement and visualization products. Success in this role requires close collaboration with a cross-functional team of designers, frontend and backend engineers, graphics specialists, and devops professionals to ensure seamless integration across the platform. As a technical leader, you’ll mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, and contribute to shaping the strategic roadmap for our vision-based capabilities. You'll also act as a key bridge between research and engineering, staying at the cutting edge of the field while ensuring that your innovations deliver tangible business impact.
