Member of the Technical Staff - Agentic Engineer

The posting, as Stand Insurance wrote it

Why Join Stand https://www.standinsurance.com/careers/why-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 https://frontier.standinsurance.com.

We stay when traditional insurers exit. We model what others approximate. And we build systems that change outcomes, not just prices.

Our leadership team https://www.standinsurance.com/vision has built category-defining companies (Metromile, Policygenius, WePay, HotelTonight) and brings decades of expertise in underwriting, capital management, and reinsurance.

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.

Role Summary

We are building the self-driving insurer: a national carrier whose standard operating procedure is explicit, instrumented, and handed to agents one proven step at a time — so the book grows without the org.

That bet has a single point of failure, and this role owns it. The runtime, contracts, and eval framework that every agentic capability at Stand is built on. Not one agent. The framework that enabled the team to build and manage hundreds of them

Concretely, the harness is four things

• An eval framework and diagnostic center. Turning an existing data stream into an eval, or wiring up the right metric when one doesn't exist yet, should take an afternoon not a week. The eval framework should make building new ones delightful. The diagnostic center gives anyone, not just the builder, a high-level read on whether a skill is actually working.
• A tooling center. Adding a new MCP capability, and making it permission-aware, should be easy to build and reuse. Deciding when someone's agent should be allowed to do X or Y isn't your call to make, it's your job to make it easy for an engineer to build that decision and codify it once, so the next builder doesn't start from scratch.
• The agent deployed the pipeline. Whether an agent is ready to ship or needs to sit on the bench shouldn't be a gut call. You build the opinionated framework, and the checks every agent has to pass, that decides it.
• The engineer/agent builder experience. A simple set of skills or agents that walk a builder through the whole process: which technology to reach for versus when to keep it simple, what deployment strategy a given agent needs. You make building on the harness delightful, not a scave
