Senior Engineering Manager

Who you are

• 10+ years in software engineering, including 4+ managing engineering teams, with real ownership over a product line's roadmap rather than execution against someone else's plan
• A full cycle of people management behind you: hiring and leveling, coaching senior engineers, running performance conversations, and promoting people into bigger scope
• Experience managing more than one team or focus area at once
• Experience managing engineers who've built systems with real pricing, configuration, or rules logic
• Technical depth strong enough to make architecture calls and defend them. Familiarity with Ruby on Rails, React, TypeScript, GraphQL federation, or Postgres is a plus, not a requirement
• AI fluency in how a team builds: a point of view on where generative tooling belongs in the workflow, how to roll it out, and how to tell whether it's actually working
• Experience with estimating, quoting, CPQ, or catalog and pricing platforms in any vertical
• Experience taking a product from early traction to something enterprise customers run production work through
• Experience with partner, distributor, or third-party integration ecosystems
• Background in construction, roofing, restoration, or insurance claims software, including carrier-side estimating and claims acceptance standards
• Experience building on 3D, spatial, or computer vision derived data What the job involves
• You'll own the roadmap for Hover's estimating product line end to end, making the case for what wins with enterprise customers rather than shipping a feature list
• That means defining and moving two connected but distinct use cases, retail and restoration/insurance claims, without forking the product, the roadmap, or the team. You'll manage the Estimates team directly (six engineers today) and partner weekly with a standing product, design, and data group to keep everyone shipping toward one agreed direction
• On the technical side, you'll lead the move to a more flexible estimating engine, one that can take in more kinds of inputs, including what comes out of an inspection or assessment, without forking logic per use case
• You'll also reduce the cost of maintaining the estimates system we already have, including an in-flight consolidation into the main application, favoring removal of legacy functionality over building around it, and partner with the catalog team to build a standalone pricing function so a Hover estimate can carry its own pricing
• Along the way, you'll sit directly in front of the enterprise customers whose workflows are shaping this roadmap, and hire and grow the team as scope expands Benefits
