Forward Deployed Engineer

ResiQuant Technical Engineer

At ResiQuant, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges in disaster resilience: the lack of accurate, standardized, and dynamic property data. In a world increasingly impacted by climate change and natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires, decisions about risk are often made with incomplete or incorrect information.

Our mission is to empower insurers, financial institutions, and asset managers with AI systems fused with structural engineering expertise. These systems bridge critical data gaps to deliver precise, actionable building insights for better decision-making.

Founded by Stanford PhDs, we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge AI to protect communities and businesses from disaster impacts. At ResiQuant, we're building a future where every organization has access to world-class property risk intelligence to drive resilience and safeguard what matters most.

You will be the technical bridge to enterprise insurance customers, owning the end-to-end journey from initial technical discovery through full product integration. As our first forward deployed engineer, you'll work directly with underwriters, executives, and engineering teams at top-tier insurance carriers to implement AI solutions that reshape how trillion-dollar portfolios assess wildfire, earthquake, and hurricane risks. Your work will directly impact how communities and businesses build resilience against escalating climate disasters.

You will get to:

• Travel extensively (weekly) to work on-site with large insurance companies across the US
• Shadow underwriters and risk managers to map complex workflows that have never been digitized
• Build custom integrations and automations that save customers millions in operational costs
• Present technical solutions to C-suite executives at top-tier insurance carriers
• Shape product direction by translating real customer needs into engineering roadmap priorities
• Become a recognized expert in the intersection of AI, structural engineering, and insurance technology
• Work directly with founders where your impact is immediately visible
