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.

Role Description As a Senior Product Engineer, you’ll help build the core Stand platform end to end. This includes heavy AI-driven automation, productionizing catastrophic-risk simulations, designing cloud infrastructure and data pipelines, building real-time monitoring and visualization, and automating the systems that run the business.

This is a high-ownership role on a very small team of four. We expect engineers to own traditional PM activities, use AI tools aggressively, and drive problems from first principles to production.

If you want to own a small piece of a big team, this isn’t a fit.

If you want to own a large part of a durable platform end to end, work directly with customers, and reshape how property risk is understood and underwritten, it is.
