What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Full Stack Software Engineer position at Stand?
About Stand
Stand is a new technology and insurance company revolutionizing how society assesses, mitigates, and adapts to climate risks. Our leadership team has extensive experience in insurance, technology, and climate science: building billions in market value at prior ventures. At Stand, we are rethinking how insurance enables proactive, science-driven resilience.
Existing insurance models often rely on broad exclusions, leaving homeowners without options. At Stand, we leverage advanced deterministic models and cutting-edge analytics to provide personalized risk assessments—helping homeowners secure coverage and take proactive steps toward resilience.
Background:
We’re expanding our technical team to develop groundbreaking technologies for quantifying climate risks at the property and community levels, and we’re hiring an exceptional Sr Fullstack Software Engineer (AKA Sr Product Engineer) to be a key part of this effort.
Homes respond differently to climate catastrophes, such as wildfires, but traditional methods often fail to accurately assess these risks. As a result, homeowners lack guidance on protective measures, and insurers give little credit for mitigation. At Stand, we combine deterministic physics models and cutting-edge AI to provide a precise understanding of a home’s unique risk environment in the calculus of writing insurance.
We are not sponsoring Visas at this time.
Role Description:
As part of Stand’s software engineering team, you’ll manage diverse applications and pipelines—from automating core insurance workflows (policy management, payments, claims, underwriting) to building novel processes like wildfire preparedness inspections and real-time monitoring. You’ll work closely with our applied science team to productionize solutions, including cloud infrastructure, data visualization, and data collection pipelines.
We’re not just hiring software engineers—we’re looking for builders ready to redefine what software engineering means in the age of LLMs and agents. At Stand, you’ll work end-to-end, from uncovering real stakeholder problems to shipping and maintaining solutions, balancing speed with craftsmanship. You’ll move fast, embrace both the exciting and the unglamorous work, and help prove we can build a billion-dollar tech-native company with a small, insanely effective team.
Founder Mindset:
We’re looking for candidates with a founder mindset—the drive, ownership, and creativity it takes to build something from the ground up. Our founding team includes former founders and CEOs from Metromile, WePay, and HotelTonight, and many on our team have started or scaled early-stage startups. To us, a founder mindset means:
The annual base salary range for full-time employees in this position is $150,000 to $220,000 meaningful Equity Grant.
Compensation decisions are dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, an individual’s qualifications, location where the role is to be performed, internal equity, and alignment with market data.
Additional Benefits:
At Stand, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team redefining how insurance intersects with climate resilience. This is a unique opportunity to build something transformative—leveraging advanced technology, underwriting expertise, and data-driven insights to create a smarter, more adaptive insurance model.
