Hover helps people design, improve, and protect the properties they love. With proprietary AI built on over a decade of real property data, Hover answers age-old questions like “What will it look like?” and “What will it cost?” Homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals rely on Hover to get fully measured, accurate, and interactive 3D models of any property — all from a smartphone scan in minutes.
At Hover, we’re driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to serving our customers, communities, and each other. We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives and are proud to cultivate an inclusive, high-performance culture that inspires growth, accountability, and excellence. Backed by leading investors like Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures, and trusted by industry leaders including Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide — we’re redefining how people understand and interact with their spaces.
As the Engineering Manager for our 3D Measurements team, you'll lead one of Hover's most visible and impactful engineering teams. The 3D Measurements team is responsible for calculating and publishing the measurement data our customers rely on every day. From roof area and wall dimensions to ridge, rake, and eave measurements. The team also owns the systems that generate customer-facing artifacts and power interactive 3D visualizations of properties across Hover's platform.
This role sits at the intersection of computational geometry, graphics engineering, backend systems, and people leadership. You'll lead a highly technical team while remaining close to the technology itself, partnering with engineers to solve challenging geometry problems, improve measurement accuracy, modernize our rendering stack, and explore next-generation technologies like WebGPU.
If you're excited by the idea of leading a small, high-trust team while staying technically engaged with complex 3D challenges, this is a unique opportunity to have outsized impact across Hover's products and future technology direction.
