Why Hover wants you

At Hover, our Computer Vision (CV) team turns raw imagery into structured data fueling the most advanced property intelligence platform in the world. To scale this system, were hiring a Technical Operations Lead who will own the orchestration and execution of our CV/ML workflows in production, especially where human-in-the-loop (HITL) feedback is critical.

Youll partner directly with CV engineers to bring algorithms to life in production environments that involve humans, tools, QA layers, and feedback loops. Your superpower is driving operational scale without compromising quality. We operate at the scale of millions of properties per year. This role is critical to making that scale possible by translating cutting?edge models into reliable, efficient, and scalable systems that blend automation with human expertise.

You will contribute by

• Partner closely with the CV and ML teams to design and execute the production deployment of computer vision models in environments involving human input, correction, or QA.
• Manage the day-to-day operations of complex workflows, combining automated steps with HITL componentsensuring reliability, speed, and consistent performance.
• Design, scale, and refine quality control systems for CV outputs, leveraging both automation and human validators.
• Drive operational feedback loops: analyze performance data, identify failure patterns, and partner with engineering to inform model improvements or workflow tweaks.
• Act as the bridge between CV engineering and our operations/QA teams, translating technical model behavior into actionable operations strategies.
• Own and monitor pipeline health, triaging breakdowns, and driving resolutions across human + machine steps.
• Propose and lead continuous improvement projects across tools, metrics, vendors, or staffing strategies.
