Why Hover wants you
We're looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to join our Capture SDK team—a tight-knit, high-impact group at the heart of Hover’s 3D capture technology. This is not your typical app development role. You’ll be building the mobile foundation that powers Hover’s ability to reconstruct the real world from a smartphone, creating immense value for our customers and partners.
This role blends low-level camera access, real-time data processing, ARKit innovation, and 3D rendering, all wrapped in a performant, developer-friendly SDK. If you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with mobile sensors, AR, machine learning, and computer vision, you'll feel right at home here.
You will contribute by
- Shaping the future of our architecture as we adopt Swift 6, SwiftUI, and modern concurrency models
- Working directly with ARKit, CoreML, LiDAR, 3D rendering pipelines, and different types of latest technologies to create immersive, intelligent capture experiences
- Re-architecting and modularizing our Capture SDK for performance, scalability, and ease of integration
- Building modern, asynchronous data flows and real-time UI pipelines optimized for AR and camera responsiveness
- Elevating our testing strategy and CI/CD systems to meet production-grade quality and reliability standards
- Prototyping, experimenting, and shipping new features in AR, spatial computing, and intelligent feedback systems
- Collaborating across design, product, and engineering to influence the roadmap and build tools developers love
Your background includes
- 5+ years building robust, scalable iOS applications in Swift, with deep knowledge of SwiftUI/UIKit and modern async/concurrent programming
- Proficiency with 3D camera models—including intrinsic/extrinsic matrices—and their practical application in ARKit, rendering pipelines, and backend data flows
- Solid grasp of scalable architectural patterns (e.g., MVVM, or other modern architecture), with experience designing modular, maintainable systems
- Experience with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, and a desire to foster a strong testing culture
- Skills in performance tuning, profiling, and optimizing app responsiveness and memory usage
- Comfortable collaborating across disciplines—design, product, 3D artists, and backend engineers
- Strong sense of ownership and initiative—proactively leads features, proposes improvements, and follows through on delivery
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
Bonus points
- Familiarity with depth maps, projection transforms, or camera calibration is a big plus
- Exposure to Metal, Graphic Programming, RealityKit, or SceneKit
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitrise, GitHub Actions)
- Experience with machine learning, computer vision, and deep learning
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
