Director / Senior Director, Engineering, Core UX & Growth
About The Position
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. Why Hover wants you Hover serves some of the largest contractors and insurance carriers in the country, and a fast-growing base of small businesses discovering us for the first time. As we evolve from point solutions into an end-to-end platform, we need a product that feels coherent, intuitive, and easy to do business with from the very first interaction. We're looking for a Director or Senior Director of Engineering to lead Core UX, Growth, and Billing Systems: the foundational experiences that define what it feels like to be a Hover customer. You'll make sure we ship a seamless platform, not our org chart, and you'll help unlock the small-business market through product-led growth, so a contractor can discover Hover, get set up, see value, choose the right plan, and grow with us without needing a high-touch sales motion.
