> Lead the migration of Hover's Inspections product from React Native to native iOS (and eventually SDK), owning technical direction, roadmap, and cross-team collaboration with Product, Design, SDK, and Mobile Core teams. Requires 5+ years mobile engineering with 2+ years native iOS experience, RN bridge layer expertise, and ability to scope ambiguous initiatives.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to solve problems together.
- Be the connective tissue between the Inspections team, the SDK team, and Mobile Core.
- Work 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.

## Requirements
- 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.

## Nice-to-Haves
- 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.

## Benefits
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing company.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents.
- Unlimited and flexible vacation policy.
- 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 - recurring fitness classes, meditation/mindfulness tools, virtual therapy, and family planning assistance.
- Continued education support covering the cost of management training, conferences, workshops, or certifications.

**US base salary range for this full-time position is $173000 - $214000 annually.**
