- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.

Role: Senior Software Engineer, 3D Measurements --> https://hover.to/job-posts/7723481
We are writing software that generates 3D models of buildings. The construction and insurance industry uses those models to derive metrics, estimate construction/repair cost (think water damage due to flooding, wind damage etc.) and accelerate claims processing. Our long term ambition is to have an accurate and up to date 3D model (digital twin) of every building on the planet.
Hover is expanding the team on many fronts. The 3D Measurements team in particular is looking for talented & experienced software engineers that have proven experience designing and implementing systems for 3D modeling, reconstruction, or CAD-related software and that bring a solid foundation in geometry and 3D math.
If you're interested in working with us, please apply online at https://hover.to/careers/#open-roles. Mention you're from HN and let us know what you've been working on lately.
