About Hover
What is Hover?
Hover is a software company that, in the words of its About page, "transforms smartphone photos into interactive 3D models of homes and buildings". Construction professionals, insurance carriers and adjusters, and homeowners use it to measure, design and estimate home improvement and claims work. A press release dated 13 January 2026 describes a reworked platform that "replaces up to five separate apps by integrating measurements, design, estimating, and collaboration into one workflow" and a spatial database of over 10 million residential properties, and it names A.J. Altman as Founder & CEO. A company blog post says Hover was "Founded in 2011". The adverts say the company is "Backed by leading investors like Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures" and "trusted by industry leaders including Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide". The most recent funding round found on any page read is a $60 million Series D led by Travelers, State Farm Ventures and Nationwide, reported on 17 November 2020 on the news page of Standard Industries (which took part in the round) and on 18 November 2020 by Roofing Contractor; those two reports give two different totals raised (just over $142 million and $147 million), so no total is stated here. Hover's recruiting page counts "~300" employees across the US, without a date.
Where will I work?
Hover keeps "offices in San Francisco (HQ) and New York City (Hub)", according to its recruiting page, and its terms of use give 255 Bush St, 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104 as the address for copyright notices. All 15 adverts on the Greenhouse board on 13 November 2026 carry the same hybrid rule: Hover expects "all employees living within a 50-mile radius of our offices will come into their local Hover office at least three times a week". The board lists 8 adverts for San Francisco / New York, 4 for San Francisco, 2 for New York and 1 for Remote (US). Thirteen adverts add "At this time, Hover is not considering fully remote roles". One, the Senior Security Software Engineer, says "We are considering remote candidates for this role" and is the only advert on the board with a Remote (US) location. The Customer Experience Manager advert says the role is based out of the New York office. Every advert quotes a US salary range, and no advert or page offers a role outside the United States. The careers page adds that "a dedicated collaboration budget ensures that our remote teammates are able to come together in real life".
What is the Hover team like?
The careers page sets out three values, Think, Do and Serve, and describes ownership and accountability as "at the core of how we operate". Its recruiting page reports an average employee tenure of "2.8+" years. The 15 open roles sit in 11 departments on the board: Product Engineering has 4 (a Director of Engineering, an Engineering Manager, a Senior Engineering Manager and a Staff Software Engineer), SDR has 2, and Customer Success, both Customer Experience teams, Product Management, Revenue Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Engineering Systems and an insurance Implementation role have one each. Most are manager, director or senior roles. The Senior Customer Experience Operations Manager advert describes inheriting "a ~50-person BPO team across three countries", which it calls "the outsourced operation". The careers page describes twice-annual performance reviews, a mentorship program, in-house manager training, learning stipends and two merit cycles a year for employees who do not carry a quota. Hiring is described in four steps: a recruiter screen, a hiring manager interview, usually by video, a technical assessment for some roles, and an onsite interview in San Francisco or New York where possible.
Work-Life Balance
The careers page says "Enjoy the freedom of unlimited PTO, monthly self-care days, and a generous number of observed holidays to help you recharge." All 15 adverts, across all 11 board departments and every location on the board, repeat the same benefits block: "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" and "Mandatory Self-Care Days - A day set aside each month to allow employees to recharge". The adverts do not say whether the monthly self-care day is separate from, or counted within, the unlimited PTO, and neither the adverts nor the careers page give a number of holidays, a minimum number of days off, an approval step or a cap. No weekly hours or core hours are stated. The office rule is at least three days a week for anyone within 50 miles of the San Francisco or New York offices. On pace, all 15 adverts call Hover "a fast-growing company" and describe an "inclusive, high-performance culture"; the recruiting page says "We work with urgency"; the Customer Experience Manager advert says the team is "extremely dynamic and things change every month" and asks for experience at a "dynamic, fast-moving company". One advert, for an Engineering Manager, Mobile Core, lists "on-call" among the areas to improve ("CI/CD, release cadence, on-call, and old-version sunsetting"). The two sales-development adverts mention a quota (the SDR role would "generate a defined quota of Sales Qualified Leads"; the manager role asks for "consistent quota attainment").
