Why HOVER wants you:
HOVER is looking for a seasoned software engineer to join the Insurance team. As a passionate group of engineers, we are looking for someone who is similarly motivated to build great products that are valued by customers. An ideal candidate will be excited to contribute to our frontend systems, our mobile applications, and provide technical leadership for the Insurance team. This is a great opportunity to get exposure to multiple systems and move the business forward in novel ways as you’ll be working on new products and capabilities focused on driving user value.
The Insurance Engineering team is made up of backend, mobile, and fullstack developers who are solving problems for our Insurance customers. Features for these customers span our website, mobile apps, and backend systems which requires a strong working knowledge of common front-end frameworks such as React and React Native in addition to knowledge of RESTful APIs and GraphQL. In addition to contributions at the technical level, the team is looking for someone who can work cross-functionally with stakeholders and advocate for their work to both technical and non-technical audiences.

We take feedback from our customers seriously so you will be working closely with Product Managers and Designers to continuously improve the user experience.

The Insurance team works primarily on features that support our Insurance customer’s workflows which span from starting jobs in external Insurance platforms, having Homeowners capture their own for underwriting and claims, supporting insurance adjusters work in capturing the data they need to capture a claim. For the Insurance industry, a user's worst day has to be our best so it’s important to come with strong empathy for the customer experience and a consciousness that our systems need to work in situations that are not optimal. For us, this means that we have to ship features that are usable and delightful as well as a strong emphasis on offline support for business critical functionality. Some recent projects include improving our Homeowner connect features, helping pros better capture the photos they need, and new integrations with the software platforms our Insurance customers use today.
