Company mission
To disrupt the home improvement industry and reinvent the homeowner experience by building the world's most comprehensive and accurate physical property data set.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a deeply technical, visionary engineer to expand the core components of our 3D data platform
- This role is ideal for someone who enjoys translating advanced research into practical, production-ready solutions and who is comfortable taking ownership while working closely with cross-functional teams
- Substantial experience developing algorithms for 3D reconstruction either in an academic research or industrial setting
- Deep theoretical understanding and practical experience building deep learning models in one or more of the following areas: Multi-view geometry, Object detection and localization, Pose estimation, Structured 3D Reconstruction, Model fitting and Optimization
- A track record of technical ownership and the ability to independently drive projects from conception to delivery
- Highly competitive and passionate about solving hard technical problems
- Have an entrepreneurial mindset and be able to thrive amidst ambiguity & uncertainty
- Creative problem solving skills and excellent software development skills
- Comfortable building prototypes in either C++ or Python
- Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
Desirable
- PhD related to 3D Reconstruction

What the job involves
- Computer Vision is not just part of our product — it's foundational to our mission and future
- You’ll be joining a world-class team of engineers and researchers building intelligent systems that solve real-world spatial problems
- Your work will span theory, experimentation, and deployment, and you'll play a pivotal role in bringing scalable, high-performing computer vision systems into production
- In this role, you will lead the design and development of advanced computer vision algorithms and pipelines focused on 3D reconstruction, scene understanding, and structured semantic modeling
- You will own the full lifecycle of these solutions — from rapid prototyping to delivering robust, production-grade software that powers our 3D measurement and visualization products
- Success in this role requires close collaboration with a cross-functional team of designers, frontend and backend engineers, graphics specialists, and devops professionals to ensure seamless integration across the platform
- As a technical leader, you’ll mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, and contribute to shaping the strategic roadmap for our vision-based capabilities

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 2022.
