Senior Software Engineer, 3D Modeling

About the position

At Hover, 3D models aren’t just part of our product — they are the product. Every scan and data point we process helps homeowners, insurers, and contractors make confident, data-driven decisions. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s passionate about geometry, automation, and real-world impact. In this role, you’ll design and implement the systems that transform customer-captured imagery into highly accurate 3D models—advancing the scalability and precision of Hover’s modeling pipeline. You’ll collaborate closely with designers and engineers across frontend, backend, computer vision, and DevOps to bring new capabilities to life, combining technical depth with strong communication and cross-functional partnership.

The Modeling Pipeline team builds the tools that our in-house operations rely on for transforming customer-captured scans into highly accurate and detailed 3D models of buildings. We are also responsible for developing the pipeline and systems that process 3D data through automated and manual stages, as well as exporting data to customer-facing formats.

You will contribute by

• Owning and evolving the backend systems that transform raw scan data into precise 3D models, ensuring reliable delivery to key ecosystem partners such as Xactimate and Cotality.
• Building and enhancing internal modeling tools that empower teams to generate, validate, and optimize high-quality 3D data efficiently.
• Collaborating with ML and computer vision engineers to bring new algorithms into production, bridging research and real-world application.
• Improving customer and partner experiences by refining how Hover’s 3D outputs integrate into downstream workflows and external platforms.
• Driving innovation and continuous improvement across our modeling pipelines through curiosity, experimentation, and high technical standards.
