Role
Who you are

- Strong programming fundamentals (data structures, debugging, writing maintainable code)
- Experience building software in at least one modern language and comfort learning new stacks (particularly Javascript or Typescript)
- Familiarity with web development concepts (APIs, databases, client/server architecture, testing)
- Clear communicator who follows through and surfaces blockers early. You ask good questions, raise risks early, and help drive toward shared understanding
Desirable
- Experience from previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects (in a university or professional setting)
- Mentored or supported other engineers through TA/tutoring, student org leadership (e.g., ACM/IEEE/WIC), hackathons, or other community-building experiences
- Experience in React, Javascript/Typescript, Ruby on Rails
- Shipped intuitive, high-quality UX with strong attention to fit and finish
- Comfort using modern developer tools, including LLM-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude), and the curiosity to understand and validate their suggestions
- Spoken at meetups, contributed to open source, or otherwise shared your technical knowledge publicly
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer on the team, you’ll work on design features to help homeowners and construction pros create the perfect home for home renovations. Your work will span the full stack 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 work across the stack, primarily in Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL, with opportunities to contribute to our React Native mobile applications. You’ll help deliver scoped features from technical discovery and design through launch and iteration, with work spanning customer-facing workflows like onboarding, interactive design tools, inspections, and platform improvements that keep the product consistent
- You’ll partner with engineers, product managers, and designers to build an interaction-heavy UX and learn how to translate customer needs into well-scoped technical work. You’ll implement frontend and API changes, test and debug your work, and contribute to design docs. You’ll ask clarifying questions early, document assumptions, and share progress and risks proactively. You’ll request and respond to code reviews, and as you ramp, you’ll start reviewing teammates’ changes with guidance. You’ll stay eager to learn and improve as you grow
- On our team, you may work on:
- Prompt and material management that powers image generation and specific material application (siding, roofing, windows, and more), using Ruby on Rails and ComfyUI
- 2D and 3D model experiences for applying materials and making detailed edits to a home, using React and Ruby on Rails
- Engagement features like saving, organizing, and sharing designs
- Embedded design capabilities that bring Hover’s experiences onto manufacturer and construction pro sites
Our take
Hover sets out to disrupt the exterior home improvement industry with a platform that enables homeowners to turn basic photos of their property into full 3D models. The platform uses up to eight ground-level photographs of the property, which are patched together into a three-dimensional image.
This image, which is layered with information on materials and dimensions of the structure, can then be used by insurance companies to assess and price damage, without the need to dispatch an inspector.
Hover has had over one million app downloads and following series D financing in 2020, the company has invested in enhancing its 3D data platform whilst expanding its eCommerce efforts. In 2022, Hover was named one of CB Insights Top 50 innovative Insurtech companies.
