Roles
San Francisco/New York—Engineering
At Hover, we’re delivering modern tools for industries long underserved by software. We’re looking for a Staff Engineer who can lead through influence, navigate ambiguity, and help guide our vertical toward scalable, reliable, and impactful solutions. This role is more than writing great code. We’re looking for someone who can help us design systems and workflows used daily by contractors, adjusters, and claims professionals—people whose work directly impacts homeowners during high-stakes moments. You’ll bring a product mindset, strong architectural judgment, and the ability to connect the dots across services, domains, and teams.
If you’ve built high-quality customer-facing software before—especially in fast-paced or high-accountability environments—and you’re excited to lead large-scale efforts that combine technical depth with product nuance, we want to work with you.
San Francisco/New York—Design
As an Art Director at Hover, you’ll be instrumental in bringing our brand and marketing vision to life. You will collaborate closely with designers, marketing teams, and other cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality, impactful creative work across a variety of mediums. This role is hands-on, requiring both exceptional design skills and the ability to guide and inspire a team. You’ll play a critical role in building and maintaining the Hover brand, focusing on execution and elevating our creative output.
San Francisco/New York—Design
As a Creative Director at Hover, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and scaling our brand. You will elevate and champion Hover’s creative expression across all touchpoints, including brand, marketing, digital platforms, and within our product. Working closely with marketing leadership and designers, you’ll lead the charge in building and maintaining brand and marketing systems that reflect our high bar for craft. You’ll advocate for the best ideas, and inspire the team to deliver exceptional, hands-on work that resonates with our users.
San Francisco/New York—Sales
We’re looking for a strategic, inspiring, and results-driven sales leader to take Hover’s Large, Field and SDR teams to the next level. This is not your run-of-the-mill sales leadership role. We’re looking for someone who’s ready to architect scalable systems, coach exceptional talent, and harmonize our customer journey across product, marketing, and sales. You’ll be a key driver in integrating tech, data, and people to accelerate growth and deepen customer value.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to own your vertical’s sales strategy, manage and develop sales leaders to run their teams, and maintain operational rigor across the greater sales organization. You'll also have the chance to work cross-functionally with our Product and Executive Leadership teams to define opportunities to breach new markets and shape the potential and product-market fit of our solutions. Ultimately, we are looking for someone who has a strong leadership philosophy to build and develop a team of dynamic sales reps who contribute to a critical revenue stream for Hover.
San Francisco/New York—Engineering
Our Computer Vision team has doubled in size over the past year, and we’re looking for a strong engineering manager to keep that momentum healthy and sustainable. You’ll partner with our current CV leader to split the growing roster into focused pods, establish clear ownership boundaries, and ensure the team’s research breakthroughs continue to land in production on predictable cadences.
In this role, you’ll hire, coach, and retain top vision talent. By running clear onboarding, growth plans, and regular feedback loops, you’ll foster a culture where senior ICs level up, future leaders emerge, and every engineer feels empowered to deliver at scale.
