The posting

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

Mobile is where Hover's work begins: 300,000+ contractors and insurance pros use the Hover Pro app to scan properties with camera and LiDAR, capture inspections offline, and upload the data behind every Hover 3D model. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Mobile Core, the mobile platform team that owns reliability, performance, and developer experience for the app every other mobile team builds on. Your first goal is clear: take crash-free sessions from 99.9% to 99.99% and upload success to 99.99%. This is a player-coach seat on a modern React Native, Expo, and TypeScript stack, where your technical calls set the pace for every mobile team.

You will contribute by

Your first priority is making the Hover Pro app a stable, fast platform. You'll drive toward 99.99% crash-free sessions, turn noisy monitoring into alerts teams act on, and fix the crashes and hangs that affect our largest insurance customers. You'll make contributing to the mobile codebase simple, with faster CI, clear steps, and better testing, and you'll work with feature teams to decide what the platform provides and what each team builds. You'll coach and grow a senior, distributed team and partner closely with our mobile QA lead on test strategy and release quality. Expect about half your week in design and code reviews, debugging, and some coding, about 30% on people leadership, and about 20% on cross-team planning.

  • Own reliability and performance for the Hover Pro app, using Sentry fingerprinting, code-owner routing, and device-vitals dashboards to turn metrics into priorities
  • Lead architecture decisions across React Native (New Architecture), Expo, TypeScript, and native iOS and Android, including moving our core upload pipeline from React Native to native
  • Improve CI/CD, release cadence, on-call, and old-version sunsetting so every mobile team ships faster
  • Partner with mobile QA on testability: dev tooling, debug menus, and hooks for AI-assisted end-to-end testing
  • Steward shared foundations: the mobile design system, offline data layer, push notifications, yearly iOS and Android readiness, and enterprise needs like Intune and accessibility
  • Partner with our Capture SDK team on native SDK adoption, and with backend teams on upload reliability over weak networks

Your background includes

  • Deep, hands-on experience shipping a React Native and TypeScript app in production at scale
  • Experience leading engineers, as an engineering manager or as a tech lead with people responsibilities such as coaching, hiring, and handling performance
  • Enough native iOS and/or Android depth to make sound calls at the boundary: native modules, camera and background tasks, OS lifecycle, and app store releases
  • A track record of owning shared mobile foundations that other teams build on, including CI/CD, release management, and test automation (such as GitHub Actions, Maestro, or Detox)
  • Experience using Sentry, New Relic, or similar to drive down crash rates and turn data into priorities
  • Practical use of AI-assisted development tools like Cursor or Claude, and experience helping a team use them well
  • Clear written communication across time zones and with non-engineering partners, and a habit of finishing what you start

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with camera, AR or LiDAR, or large media uploads, including integrating native SDKs into React Native
  • Experience with offline-first sync (such as WatermelonDB or Apollo) or enterprise mobile needs such as MDM/Intune and WCAG accessibility
  • Experience in construction, insurance, or field-services software, or leading distributed or contractor teams

Benefits

  • Compensation - Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company
  • Healthcare - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents
  • Paid Time Off - Unlimited and flexible vacation policy
  • Paid Family Leave - We support work/life balance and offer generous paid parental and new child bonding leave
  • Mandatory Self-Care Days - A day set aside each month to allow employees to recharge
  • Remote Wellbeing Resources - We provide recurring fitness classes, meditation/ mindfulness tools, virtual therapy, and family planning assistance
  • Learning - We encourage continued education and will help cover the cost of management training, conferences, workshops, or certifications

Hybrid roles at Hover

Hover has Hubs in San Francisco and New York City, where we expect that all employees living within a 50-mile radius of our offices will come into their local Hover office at least three times a week to build rapport and foster organic connection. At this time, Hover is not considering fully remote roles.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $227,000 to $280,000 annually. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all applicable US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
