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.
Hover is looking for a seasoned full-stack engineer to join the Construction team. As a passionate group of engineers, we are looking for someone who is similarly motivated to build great systems and data that sit at the core of our business. An ideal candidate will be excited to contribute across the software stack. This is a great opportunity to get exposure to multiple systems and move the business forward in novel ways as you’ll be working on making the lives of our team members and customers easier. The ideal candidate doesn’t just define themselves as an engineer, but as a product owner and operates with high accountability. You are an experienced operator who’s strong on execution, and proactive about identifying problems and arming the team with potential solutions.
The Construction vertical at Hover drives our largest revenue-generating products and is composed of a collaborative, high-energy team of engineers passionate about advancing the construction industry. Our engineering team includes diverse talent, from junior engineers to staff-level experts, all eager to learn, grow, and support each other. Together, we focus on developing innovative solutions that help construction professionals and skilled trade workers get the job done faster and with less effort. Team members are encouraged to take advantage of professional development stipends, refactor hours, and a supportive learning culture. Here, you’ll find an opportunity to enhance your technical skills while contributing to impactful systems that make work easier for our users.
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Construction team, you’ll work across the stack—primarily in Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL—building robust, scalable solutions that improve the user experience for our construction and skilled trades customers. You’ll take a lead role in the product development process, partnering closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and other stakeholders to bring new products to market and refine existing ones. Your contributions will include building polished, high-touch UI, designing for scale, and enhancing our 3D modeling integrations, data processing pipelines, and interactive property models. A key part of your role will be to leave the code you come in contact with in a better state than you found it, whether through refactoring or optimization. With a strong focus on continuous improvement, you’ll collaborate with other engineers to architect reliable systems and ensure high-quality code delivery through unit and end-to-end testing, ultimately making a measurable difference in the lives of those who rely on our tools.
