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.

Why Hover wants you

At Hover, we’re building modern tools that simplify complex workflows in the construction and insurance industries. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Construction vertical—someone who’s excited to work on real-world problems and ship software that helps thousands of pros scope jobs, plan projects, and deliver better outcomes for homeowners.

You’ll bring strong technical fundamentals, product thinking, and a collaborative mindset. You’ll take ownership of features end-to-end, help shape how we build, and grow your leadership through influence—not just code. This role is ideal for someone ready to step into more responsibility, drive outcomes with cross-functional partners, and contribute to the technical roadmap of a high-impact team.

The Team

Our Construction vertical powers some of Hover’s most successful and revenue-generating products. We’re a close-knit, high-energy team of engineers passionate about building tech that modernizes and simplifies construction workflows. Our team blends deep industry knowledge with modern software practices to deliver tools that save time and reduce friction for our customers on the job site.

You’ll be part of a team that values trust, autonomy, and impact, where good ideas rise fast and great execution gets recognized. From junior developers to staff engineers, we invest in each other’s growth. You’ll benefit from a strong culture of mentorship, regular refactor hours, professional development stipends, and a commitment to learning. You’ll also be part of a company where your voice matters—where you can directly influence product direction and technical architecture.

You will contribute by

As a Senior Software Engineer on Hover’s Construction and Insurance teams, you’ll be a core contributor to the tools that power our professional user experience—from capturing and measuring homes to creating and delivering estimates. You’ll write production-grade code across the stack using technologies like Ruby on Rails, React, GraphQL, and cloud-native tooling. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners in Product, Design, and Data to define what we build and how we build it.

You’ll lead scoped projects end-to-end, contribute to technical planning, and take ownership of delivering features that meet customer needs. From building polished UIs to modeling backend systems and designing APIs, your work will help shape the daily experience of pros and carriers across the country. You’ll also contribute to a healthy engineering culture by mentoring teammates, improving processes, and helping the team grow through feedback and collaboration.

Your background includes

  • 8+ years of full stack experience using technologies like Ruby on Rails, Java, C#, React, or Angular, with a consistent record of contributing to complex, high-impact systems.
  • Strong at building and maintaining scalable APIs (REST and GraphQL) and deploying cloud-native applications (AWS or GCP preferred).
  • Experience owning features end-to-end—from breaking down vague product ideas into scoped tickets, to shipping production code, to iterating post-launch.
  • Comfortable in distributed systems environments and familiar with queues, asynchronous processing, and the architectural considerations behind building for reliability.
  • Proactive in identifying edge cases, making tradeoffs, and balancing engineering quality with delivery speed.
  • Strong collaborator who works effectively across disciplines—able to align with product, design, and data partners to define the right solution, not just execute on specs.
  • Known for bringing clarity to ambiguity. You ask good questions, raise risks early, and help drive toward shared understanding.
  • Committed to team health and mentorship—whether it’s reviewing code, pairing to unblock someone, or offering feedback that helps others level up.

Benefits

  • Compensation - Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company
  • Healthcare - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents
  • Paid Time Off - Unlimited and flexible vacation policy
  • Paid Family Leave - We support work/life balance and offer generous paid parental and new child bonding leave
  • Mandatory Self-Care Days - A day set aside each month to allow employees to recharge
  • Remote Wellbeing Resources - We provide recurring fitness classes, meditation/ mindfulness tools, virtual therapy, and family planning assistance
  • Learning - We encourage continued education and will help cover the cost of management training, conferences, workshops, or certifications

Bonus Points

  • You’ve worked on a zero-to-one product that went live and evolved with real customer feedback
  • You’ve built for or supported construction, insurance, or other skilled trades use cases
  • You’ve shipped software that touches distributed systems or background queues (e.g., data pipelines, async workflows)
  • You’ve worked with 3D data, geometry processing, or spatial models—even in a hobby project
  • You’ve improved internal tooling, shared components, or platform libraries used across multiple teams
  • You’ve had to factor in real-world reliability, fault tolerance, or scaling in a production environment
  • You’ve mentored others formally or informally, and enjoyed it
  • You’ve spoken at meetups, contributed to open source, or otherwise shared your technical knowledge publicly
