About the position

At Hover, 3D models aren’t just part of our product — they are the product. Every scan and data point we process helps homeowners, insurers, and contractors make confident, data-driven decisions. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s passionate about geometry, automation, and real-world impact. In this role, you’ll design and implement the systems that transform customer-captured imagery into highly accurate 3D models—advancing the scalability and precision of Hover’s modeling pipeline. You’ll collaborate closely with designers and engineers across frontend, backend, computer vision, and DevOps to bring new capabilities to life, combining technical depth with strong communication and cross-functional partnership.

The Modeling Pipeline team builds the tools that our in-house operations rely on for transforming customer-captured scans into highly accurate and detailed 3D models of buildings. We are also responsible for developing the pipeline and systems that process 3D data through automated and manual stages, as well as exporting data to customer-facing formats.

You will contribute by

  • Owning and evolving the backend systems that transform raw scan data into precise 3D models, ensuring reliable delivery to key ecosystem partners such as Xactimate and Cotality.
  • Building and enhancing internal modeling tools that empower teams to generate, validate, and optimize high-quality 3D data efficiently.
  • Collaborating with ML and computer vision engineers to bring new algorithms into production, bridging research and real-world application.
  • Improving customer and partner experiences by refining how Hover’s 3D outputs integrate into downstream workflows and external platforms.
  • Driving innovation and continuous improvement across our modeling pipelines through curiosity, experimentation, and high technical standards.

Your background includes

  • Proven experience designing and implementing systems for 3D modeling, reconstruction, or CAD-related software — ideally with a solid foundation in geometry and 3D math.
  • Strong software engineering skills in one or more modern languages (e.g., Ruby, JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, or C++) and an eagerness to learn new technologies as needed.
  • Comfort defining technical requirements for open-ended, ambiguous problems — and driving them from concept to reliable delivery.
  • Clear, concise technical documentation and communication skills that enable alignment across engineering, product, and operations teams.
  • Nice to have

  • Experience with Ruby on Rails or similar backend frameworks.
  • Familiarity with 3D modeling tools like Houdini, SketchUp, Rhino, or 3DS Max.
  • Experience developing plugins or automation tools for 3D software.
  • Background in procedural modeling, geometry processing, or parameterization.
  • 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
  • Hybrid roles at Hover

    Hover has Hubs in San Francisco and New York City, where we expect that all employees living within a 50-mile radius of our offices will come into their local Hover office at least three times a week to build rapport and foster organic connection. At this time, Hover is not considering fully remote roles.

    The US base salary range for this full-time position is $165,000 - $204,000 annually. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all applicable US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
