Job Description:

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 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.

Job Responsibility:

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 applications
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

Requirements:

1-3 years of experience in a software development role
Strong software engineering skills in one or more modern languages (e.g., Ruby, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or C++)
Proven experience designing and implementing systems for 3D modeling, reconstruction, or CAD-related software — ideally with a solid foundation in geometry and 3D math
Comfort driving forward on ambiguous technical problems and driving them from concept to 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
Experience with React, 3JS or other FE 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

What we offer:

Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents
Unlimited and flexible vacation policy
Generous paid parental and new child bonding leave
Mandatory Self-Care Days - A day set aside each month to allow employees to recharge
Recurring fitness classes, meditation/ mindfulness tools, virtual therapy, and family planning assistance
Encouraged continued education and will help cover the cost of management training, conferences, workshops, or certifications
