# Senior Technical Recruiter, Engineering at Hover

- **Company:** Hover
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Posted:** 2026-07-15

## Job description

Hover helps people design, improve, and protect the properties they love. With proprietary AI built on over a decade of real property data, Hover answers age-old questions like “What will it look like?” and “What will it cost?” Homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals rely on Hover to get fully measured, accurate, and interactive 3D models of any property — all from a smartphone scan in minutes.

At Hover, we’re driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to serving our customers, communities, and each other. We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives and are proud to cultivate an inclusive, high-performance culture that inspires growth, accountability, and excellence. Backed by leading investors like Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures, and trusted by industry leaders including Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide — we’re redefining how people understand and interact with their spaces.

## Why Hover wants you

Hover's engineering organization is nearly 100 people strong and growing, building enterprise and consumer AI products at the intersection of computer vision, 3D reconstruction, computational geometry, and modern product engineering. We're looking for a seasoned Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for this team and become the trusted talent partner to our Head of Engineering and his leadership group. This is a rare seat for someone who wants to shape not just who joins Hover's engineering team, but how Hover recruits — with real license to bring AI tools and modern practice into the way we hire, end to end.

You will contribute by

You'll own full-cycle recruiting for Hover's Engineering organization — partnering directly with our Head of Engineering and his leadership team to build sourcing strategy, run structured interview loops, and close offers for roles spanning senior engineers through engineering leadership. You'll build and execute outbound sourcing campaigns using LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, and AI-assisted sourcing tools, and you'll act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers by shaping hiring strategy, calibrating interview process, and using market data to guide decisions. Beyond running the tools we already have, you'll have real room to build your own, whether that's a custom sourcing agent, a referral miner, or something else that makes the job faster and sharper. You'll also coach the engineering leaders you partner with, helping them grow into genuinely great interviewers and hiring partners in their own right, not just participants in someone else's process.

- Full-Cycle Ownership: Own full-cycle recruiting for Hover's ~100-person Engineering organization, currently supporting 10+ open roles.
- Hiring Manager Partnership: Partner directly with Hover's Head of Engineering and senior engineering leaders as a strategic hiring advisor.
- Sourcing Strategy: Build and run sourcing strategy across LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox (AI sourcing platform), referrals, and outbound campaigns that start with thorough market mapping.
- Hiring Excellence: Drive hiring manager calibration, interview debriefs, and data-informed hiring decisions.
- AI & Ops Innovation: Bring AI tools and workflow automation into day-to-day recruiting operations.

## Your background includes

- 7+ years of deep experience in full-cycle technical recruiting supporting software engineering organizations across multiple levels (senior IC through engineering management)
- Strong sourcing expertise with a track record building pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles like Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and other specialized engineering roles
- Experience as a strategic partner to hiring managers — shaping hiring strategy, not just executing search requests
- Background in high-growth or scaling technology companies, comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
- Proficiency with modern recruiting tools, including an ATS (Greenhouse preferred), LinkedIn Recruiter, and outreach/CRM platforms (Juicebox, Gem, Ashby, or similar)
- Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to improve sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruiting operations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to represent Hover's brand directly to candidates
- Genuine curiosity about technology and engineering, with the ability to learn complex technical domains quickly and engage credibly with engineering candidates and leaders
- Passion for building exceptional engineering teams, with a proactive, high-quality approach to sourcing and a relentless focus on candidate experience

This role is open to candidates at the Senior or Principal level — we'll land on the right level together based on the scope of experience you bring, particularly around strategic hiring manager partnership and independent ownership of complex searches.

Nice-to-haves

- Experience recruiting for AI/ML, computer vision, infrastructure, graphics/3D, or security engineering domains
- Experience building or evolving interview processes, recruiting playbooks, or hiring programs at a scaling company
- Prior experience at a recruiting agency in addition to in-house experience

## Benefits

- Compensation - Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company
- Healthcare - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents
- 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
- Mandatory Self-Care Days - A day set aside each month to allow employees to recharge
- Remote Wellbeing Resources - We provide recurring fitness classes, meditation/ mindfulness tools, virtual therapy, and family planning assistance
- Learning - We encourage continued education and will help cover the cost of management training, conferences, workshops, or certifications

At this time, Hover is not considering fully remote roles. This role will be based out of our SF location.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $157,000–$220,000 annually, covering both the Senior and Principal levels this search is open to. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
