Stand simulates real-world risk using physics and AI. Backed by Convective Capital.
About the role
Stand writes home insurance for the properties most exposed to wildfire and hurricane risk, and we underwrite it with science and engineering instead of a spreadsheet and a guess. The Mitigation Engineer owns the Stand Protection Plan end-to-end for every inspected property. This includes making the vegetation, structure, and hazard calls, shipping an accurate, defensible plan, and running the Protection Review call that gets the homeowner to yes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2-5 years in consulting, banking, big tech, or another analytically rigorous environment
- Precision at volume: your accuracy holds as the pace rises and the queue gets deep
- Client-facing nerve: you can run a call, handle pushback, and get to a real yes without giving away scope that matters
- Judgment you can defend in writing: you can say clearly which requirements actually protect a home and why
- Speed in a new tool: productive within days and opinionated about it within a week
- Clear, empathetic communication: you explain requirements and tradeoffs to non-technical people plainly
More about this role
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, our Stand World Model .
We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.
Our leadership team includes former successful founders and CEOs from Metromile, PolicyGenius, WePay, and HotelTonight, bringing deep experience in building and scaling high-growth companies.
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.
