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.
Mobile is where Hover's work begins: 300,000+ contractors and insurance pros use the Hover Pro app to scan properties with camera and LiDAR, capture inspections offline, and upload the data behind every Hover 3D model. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Mobile Core, the mobile platform team that owns reliability, performance, and developer experience for the app every other mobile team builds on. Your first goal is clear: take crash-free sessions from 99.9% to 99.99% and upload success to 99.99%. This is a player-coach seat on a modern React Native, Expo, and TypeScript stack, where your technical calls set the pace for every mobile team.
Your first priority is making the Hover Pro app a stable, fast platform. You'll drive toward 99.99% crash-free sessions, turn noisy monitoring into alerts teams act on, and fix the crashes and hangs that affect our largest insurance customers. You'll make contributing to the mobile codebase simple, with faster CI, clear steps, and better testing, and you'll work with feature teams to decide what the platform provides and what each team builds. You'll coach and grow a senior, distributed team and partner closely with our mobile QA lead on test strategy and release quality. Expect about half your week in design and code reviews, debugging, and some coding, about 30% on people leadership, and about 20% on cross-team planning.
