Across the globe, rapid urbanization and escalating climate change impacts are driving skyrocketing risks from disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires—yet exposed building inventories are unstandardized, static, and incomplete, preventing decision making across verticals, from public policy to real estate transactions.
At ResiQuant, we're on a mission to empower insurers, financial institutions, and asset managers with the world’s first single source of truth for property data that actually provides engineering-relevant building characteristics.
Founded by Stanford PhDs and backed by Pear VC, ResiQuant is driven by an unwavering commitment to protect communities and businesses from the devastating impacts of disasters. We believe that every organization deserves access to best-in-class property risk intelligence to build resilience against the storms to come—and we won't stop until this is the norm, not the exception.
We're seeking a passionate individual to join us as our Founding Engineer, becoming the pivotal third member of our team. We prize candidates who share our company's vision and are ready to help foster an inclusive and collaborative culture. As a lean pre-seed startup, we need someone with a scrappy, hands-on approach, eager to evolve alongside our team. The ideal candidate is excited to apply their expertise, to shape the trajectory of a groundbreaking company.
