Senior iOS Engineer

Who you are

• 5+ years of mobile engineering experience, with 2+ years focused specifically on native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit) in production
• Experience building or maintaining a bridge layer between React Native and native code
• Comfort with Xcode and the build, signing, and provisioning process
• A track record of turning ambiguous problems into a scoped plan, for yourself and for others
• Strong collaborative communication — you work with Product and Design to find a path forward
• Comfort communicating change to a large, varied customer base
• Experience with camera-centric native apps (photo/video capture, on-device processing)
• Experience deploying on-device AI/ML models
• Experience contributing to React Native codebases, especially RN-to-native migrations

What the job involves

• Hover's Inspections product is the primary way our insurance customers document, measure, and act on the condition of a property
• Today, it runs almost entirely on React Native, and we’re looking to change that
• We are looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to lead the transition of this product to native code, starting with iOS
• You'll be the go-to technical authority for how inspections get built natively going forward, working shoulder-to-shoulder with our SDK and Mobile Core teams to bring the same polish our platform SDKs are known for to the Inspections experience
• This is a role for someone who wants real ownership over a loosely-defined migration, not just a set of tickets
• You'll decide how we get there, and you'll help shape what "there" looks like
• You'll take a product that's still being defined and bring clarity to it, identifying bugs and opportunities as you go deep on how inspections actually work today
• From there, you'll build the roadmap for moving Inspections to native, balancing forward progress with a live product that thousands of contractors and insurance professionals rely on every day
• You'll break big, ambiguous initiatives down into scoped pieces of work, some of which you'll own yourself, some you'll hand off to other teammates
• Along the way, you’ll partner closely with Product and Design to solve problems together
• Being successful in this role means you'll be the connective tissue between the Inspections team, the SDK team, and Mobile Core
• Own the technical direction for moving the Inspections product from React Native to native iOS and in the longer term from native iOS to an SDK
• Diagnose and resolve reliability and consistency issues in the current inspections flow
• Decompose ambiguous, multi-month initiatives into workstreams for yourself, and your teammates
• Partner with Product and Design on scoping tradeoffs while keeping the end user experience front and center
• Communicate proactively with a diverse customer base ahead of, during, and after rollouts
