Software Engineer, Backend
HOVER uses patented technology making it possible for anyone with a smartphone camera to create an interactive 3D model, complete with detailed measurements and powerful design features. The data produced is extremely valuable as it generates a single source of truth for the physical world allowing for more veracity throughout the home improvement and insurance processes. We’ve found an incredibly strong product-market fit across exterior home improvement, insurance, and financial services. What's the secret sauce? Computer vision and an exceptional culture.
With our team of investors, including Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures, HOVER is committed to continuing our success and facilitating growth. We believe there is strength in diversity so we hire skilled and passionate people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
The Role
We are looking for a RoR Engineer who has good knowledge of the framework and hands-on experience developing web apps and backend services. We’re a small but growing group of engineers, so beyond the prerequisite technical ability, we’re looking for someone with exceptional initiative, curiosity, passion for learning, and a love for pushing the envelope while building high quality, scalable and extensible products.
Like all engineering roles at HOVER, this is a cross-functional role at its core which allows for multiple opportunities for mentorship, learning, and growth. You will join as a member of our backend engineering team and also work in coordination with other engineering teams (frontend, graphics, automation, mobile), and non-engineering teams (product, design) in an agile development environment.
What you will be doing
You will write clean, tested and documented code, and stay at the cutting edge of your discipline through communication, collaboration, and mentorship opportunities (including code reviews and occasional pair programming). Among other things, you will be building new features in our product, integrating image processing, 3D rendering and machine learning code, and optimizing it against one of the world’s biggest datasets of residential property imagery.
What we expect from you
- Current experience (1+ years) architecting and building reliable, scalable, maintainable Ruby on Rails applications
- Experience with the usual suspects (rspec, git, PostgreSQL, Redis)
- Comfortable on a bash shell and SQL console
- Excellent problem-solving skills
Nice to have
- Full stack experience (HTML/CSS, Javascript, JS Frameworks)
- AWS ecosystem experience
- Docker (or other container technology)
- Agile/Scrum experience
- Geometry/Linear Algebra
Why HOVER
