Why Join Stand: At Stand, you’ll help build a new class of global property protection. We use advanced physics and AI to model catastrophic risk at the asset level, then automate underwriting and mitigation before loss occurs. Insurance is simply the current delivery mechanism. The real product is a scalable risk engine.
We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.
Background: The property insurance industry is built to price loss after it happens. It relies on coarse proxies, backward-looking data, and manual processes, then accepts damage as unavoidable.
Stand takes a different approach. We simulate how real-world catastrophes affect individual properties, translate that into actionable decisions, and automate the business around it. The result is a platform that can underwrite what others can’t and operate with far less friction.
The Opportunity: As a Physics Team Lead on the Applied Science team, you will lead the development of core physics-based simulation capabilities across wildfire and future perils. This role will be a technical lead and people leader, scaling as the team grows.
Physics-based simulation is a core pillar at Stand. You will help transform traditionally high-cost, bespoke engineering workflows into scalable, validated, production-ready systems that directly power real-world risk decisions and drive tangible business outcomes.
You will lead the development and application of core physics-based risk analytics programs, ensuring simulations connect across scales, inform probabilistic risk models, and integrate with AI-driven acceleration techniques to drive real-world outcomes.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, creates structure from ambiguity, owns outcomes end to end, collaborates effectively across disciplines, and is energized by building from zero to one.
