About the job

Why Collaborate with Stand: Join us at Stand Insurance, where you will contribute to a revolutionary approach to global property protection. With the integration of cutting-edge physics and artificial intelligence, we meticulously assess catastrophic risks at the asset level, streamlining underwriting and loss mitigation processes. Our innovative risk engine is the true product we offer, redefining traditional insurance paradigms.

At Stand, we step in when conventional insurers withdraw. We create precise models where others merely estimate. Our systems are designed to drive substantial outcomes rather than merely adjusting prices.

Our Vision: The property insurance landscape has historically focused on pricing losses post-event, relying on outdated proxies and reactive strategies. At Stand, we break this mold by simulating real-world catastrophes' impacts on individual properties, translating these insights into actionable strategies, and automating our operations. This leads to a platform capable of underwriting risks that others cannot, all while minimizing friction.

Your Role:

As the Physics Team Lead within our Applied Science team, you will spearhead the development of foundational physics-based simulation capabilities, particularly in relation to wildfire and future risks. This role encompasses technical leadership and team management, evolving as our team expands.

Your expertise in physics-based simulation will be pivotal in transforming traditionally high-cost engineering workflows into scalable, validated systems ready for production. These systems will significantly influence risk decisions and yield substantial business impacts.

You will be responsible for the development and practical application of our core physics-based risk analytics programs. This includes ensuring that simulations are cohesive across different scales, informing probabilistic risk models, and integrating AI-driven techniques to achieve real-world results.

This position is perfect for individuals who excel in dynamic environments, create order from uncertainty, take ownership of outcomes, collaborate across various disciplines, and are motivated by the challenge of building innovative solutions from the ground up.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead intricate, cross-disciplinary technical initiatives, coordinating efforts across data pipelines, backend orchestration, frontend visualization, and collaboration with subject matter experts, numerical simulation specialists, and machine learning engineers.
  • Serve as the functional technical lead within the Applied Science team, harmonizing tasks across various scales and perils while establishing modeling standards and validation methodologies.
  • Oversee major features within the physics simulation roadmap, including solver development, model calibration, and validation processes.

About Stand Insurance

Stand Insurance is pioneering a transformative approach to property protection by harnessing advanced physics and AI technology. Our commitment to redefining risk assessment and management enables us to offer unparalleled solutions in an industry that has traditionally focused on reactive measures.
