Senior Software Engineer, Frontend

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.

At Hover, we’re transforming how construction professionals design, document, scope, and estimate properties with modern tools for industries long underserved by software. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is excited to build interaction‑heavy product experiences, raise the quality bar, and lead cross‑team delivery that ships to customers and measurably improves the product.

You will be trusted to drive initiatives end to end, bringing in perspective early (design, product, and partner engineering teams), and championing consistent, high‑quality UX through strong engineering craft and design system discipline.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you’ll work on design features to help homeowners and construction pros create the perfect home for home renovations. You’ll collaborate across the stack (frontend, APIs, backend systems) to ship customer‑facing experiences and ship to customers, from the systems that power AI‑driven design to the polished workflows that make editing and sharing designs feel effortless.

You’ll own complex features end to end, from discovery and planning through launch and iteration, while improving the platform and UI foundations that keep our product consistent, fast, and maintainable. Most weeks you’ll be writing RFCs or tech specs, then executing through a mix of solo work and pair programming across the stack to ship innovative product experiences that delight users.

You’ll partner closely with Product Managers and Designers, using customer feedback to continuously improve the user experience. Along the way, you’ll collaborate with engineers to design and evolve systems, refactor safely with solid test coverage, and deploy to production frequently.

You’ll also raise the team’s bar through high‑signal PR reviews, mentoring, and pairing, and you’ll champion UX consistency and accessibility by driving design system adoption and closing the highest‑impact gaps.
