About Us:

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.

The Role

You will architect and own the backend systems that power AI-driven property risk intelligence at enterprise scale.

Collaborate with founders, engineers, and customers to iterate quickly on impactful features.

Who You Are

Thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments with strong ownership mentality.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with observability (logs, metrics, traces) and performance tuning.
