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
You will help build and strengthen relationships with some of Hover’s insurance accounts and channel partners, a vertical we are continuing to grow and scale. With the current state of the industry and the significant changes they’re dealing with as weather patterns in the country continue to force them to evolve their operating models to fend against what has become an existential threat to the ways they currently do business, we need enterprise grade strategic change agents. As such, we are looking for you to have an entrepreneurial mindset and expect you to take the initiative to build relationships with c level executives within the segment and to create plans with them to see Hover as a critical component of their transformation and organizational change journey.
You will be responsible for developing strong relationships with key account stakeholders across both Claims and Underwriting departments. You will connect with key business executives and project team members, prepare adoption and utilization reports, build presentation decks, and lead quarterly business reviews with the project teams. You’ll be the primary lead for any technical integration projects, and be responsible for ensuring each phase is properly scoped, timelines are achieved, and functionality is delivered. In this role, you will be responsible for answering client requests and identifying business opportunities across new verticals. As a Senior Enterprise Account Executive, your focus is on acquiring named new logos, contributing to the launch and management of new pilots, tracking utilization & performance of the Hover technology, and building ROI models for Senior Leadership. In this role, you will also drive deal strategy between cross-functional teams at Hover, including Sales, Customer Success, Product Development, Engineering, Finance, and Production departments.
San Francisco/New York—Marketing
Hover is looking for a creative, organized, and insights-driven Social Media Manager to elevate our brand presence and grow our online community. Sitting at the intersection of home improvement, tech, and visual storytelling, you’ll lead content execution across platforms, engage with our audience, and help shape the way customers experience Hover online.
