Quantitative Staff Engineer

Arbol is a global climate risk coverage platform and FinTech company offering full-service solutions for any business looking to analyze and mitigate exposure to climate risk. Arbol’s products offer parametric coverage which pays out based on objective data triggers rather than subjective assessment of loss. Arbol’s key differentiator versus traditional InsurTech or climate analytics platforms is the complete ecosystem it has built to address climate risk. This ecosystem includes a massive climate data infrastructure, scalable product development, automated, instant pricing using an artificial intelligence underwriter, blockchain-powered operational efficiencies, and non-traditional risk capacity bringing capital from non-insurance sources. By combining all these factors, Arbol brings scale, transparency, and efficiency to parametric coverage.

The Ideal candidate is someone who has experience working with analysts, researchers and other quantitative developers in commodities or other financial products. This role requires a developer who has implemented models, frameworks and libraries to enable other stakeholders to focus on their own work.

• Work with Arbol’s insurance and derivatives teams to perform business-critical analytics

• 5+ years experience in quantitative development
• 4+ years experience using numpy, pandas
• 3+ years in finance (commodities is preferred)
