Responsibilities
As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you’ll work across the stack—primarily in Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL, with opportunities to contribute to React Native mobile applications—building robust, scalable systems that power Hover’s core product experiences
You’ll lead scoped projects and features end-to-end, from technical discovery and design through launch and iteration
Your work will span customer-facing workflows like onboarding, interactive design tools, inspections, and transactional systems, as well as platform capabilities that ensure consistency across the product

Qualification
Required
5+ years of full stack experience using technologies like Ruby on Rails and React (or similar experience) with a consistent record of contributing to complex, high-impact systems
Experience with (or strong interest in learning) React Native and working on production mobile applications
Strong at building and maintaining scalable APIs (REST and GraphQL) and deploying cloud-native applications (AWS or GCP preferred)
Experience owning features end-to-end—from breaking down vague product ideas into scoped tickets, to shipping production code, to iterating post-launch
Comfortable in distributed systems environments and familiar with queues, asynchronous processing, and the architectural considerations behind building for reliability
Proactive in identifying edge cases, making tradeoffs, and balancing engineering quality with delivery speed
Strong collaborator who works effectively across disciplines—able to align with product, design, and data partners to define the right solution, not just execute on specs
Known for bringing clarity to ambiguity. You ask good questions, raise risks early, and help drive toward shared understanding
Committed to team health and mentorship—whether it's reviewing code, pairing to unblock someone, or offering feedback that helps others level up
Preferred
You've shipped intuitive, high-quality UX with strong attention to fit and finish
You've worked on a zero-to-one product that went live and evolved with real customer feedback
Comfort with modern developer tools, including LLM-powered tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude), to improve productivity, code quality, and iteration speed
You've built for or supported construction, or other skilled trades use cases
You've worked with 3D data, geometry processing, or spatial models—even in a hobby project
You've improved internal tooling, shared components, or platform libraries used across multiple teams
You've mentored others formally or informally, and enjoyed it
You've spoken at meetups, contributed to open source, or otherwise shared your technical knowledge publicly
