HOVER
We’re building the future of 3D property data with a platform that lets anyone generate accurate digital 3D buildings by simply taking a few photos with their smartphone. From home improvement to commercial property management and insurance, our goal is to change the way you see the world by building the world’s most comprehensive, accurate, and useful database of physical properties.
We’re looking for creative, passionate, and talented engineers to help us solve everyday problems with cutting edge technology. Our computer vision team has developed a novel approach to derive 3D data from smartphone photography, and we’re looking for world-class engineers to help us scale quickly. We’re based in SOMA, San Francisco and can’t wait to meet you.
Why join us?
Our first multi-billion dollar target market is exterior home improvement, one of the few markets that has gone largely un-disrupted by technology. This presents a unique set of opportunities that don’t come around very often.

Engineering at HOVER
We generally follow Spotify's organizational model. We believe in having smaller autonomous teams (squads) to get things done and areas of expertise (chapters) to support and remove technical roadblocks.
We use Agile Scrum for most of our product development efforts. We have regular retros after each sprint to identify a few changes we would like to implement for the following sprint. We do not follow a specific development methodology, but we encourage collaboration and ensure quality comes from engineering.
We face some the most challenging problems in computer vision and deep learning: object detection, localization, and 2D-to-3D translation. We use 3D interfaces on the web and mobile for all aspects home improvement: visualization, design, estimation, and direct ordering of materials.
Partnering with Beacon Roofing Supply, we launched our Estimate to Order feature. This feature uses our measurements to auto-calculates the quantity of materials needed for a project and seamlessly submit the order to a local Beacon branch.
