• Designing, developing, and maintaining scalable 3D measurement systems that help customers with our industry-leading measurement reports

• Driving innovation in 3D tooling with modern graphics and geometry-processing technologies.

• Contributing directly to products like Workspace and Virtual Walkthrough, enhancing both the visual fidelity and interactivity of our 3D experiences.

• Collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering teams to integrate 3D experiences into a unified frontend and backend ecosystem.

• Providing technical leadership in defining architecture, tools, and best practices for 3D product development.

• Helping shape Hover's long-term technical direction in 3D visualization, aligning with broader company goals.

Your background includes

• 5+ years of experience in 3D visualization, graphics, Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG), geometry processing, or CAD-related software.

• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with a willingness to learn new languages and frameworks.

• Strong foundation in mathematics (linear algebra, geometry, etc.) and a passion for applying it to real-world challenges through code.

• Demonstrated ability to define technical requirements and create clear, actionable documentation for open-ended problems.

• Full-stack experience and a desire to bring your 3D tools to life through modern web development practices.

Nice to haves:

• Experience with WebGL and libraries such as three.js or babylon.js.

• Familiarity with frontend frameworks like React or Angular.

• Background in 3D modeling software (e.g., Houdini, SketchUp, 3DS Max)-bonus if you've developed plugins or custom tooling.

• Backend experience in Ruby, Node.js, or similar technologies.

Benefits

• Compensation - Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company

• Healthcare - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents
