Our vision is to establish a global ecosystem of risk analytics for renewable energy infrastructure, both offshore and onshore.

We are a well-funded London-based startup, having recently closed a major funding round. With established global clients and partners, we are scaling rapidly and aim to triple our headcount in the next two years.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Catastrophe Model Developer to play a pivotal role in the development, enhancement, and communication of our catastrophe models. The first role will be on our Onshore US Severe Convective Storm (SCS) Models for Solarfarms and Windfarms (including hail, tornado, straight-line wind, lightening), and so candidates with experience of modelling hail and tornado, and/or handling climate reanalysis data etc are preferred. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team to incorporate cutting-edge science and engineering into our models, with a focus on renewable energy assets. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative catastrophe models tailored specifically for renewable energy infrastructure, helping insurers, developers, and investors manage their risks in the transition to a sustainable future.

Key responsibilities:

1. Model development

• Develop and maintain catastrophe models with a specific focus on renewable energy assets (e.g., offshore/onshore windfarms and solar farms).
• Work across model components: Exposure, Hazard, and Vulnerability, with region-peril focus (e.g., Tropical Cyclones, Earthquakes, Windstorms, Severe Convective Storms).
• The first role will be on our Onshore US SCS Models, and so candidates with a background in this region-peril are preferred, particularly those with experience of modelling hail and tornado, and/or handling climate reanalysis data etc.

2. Technical implementation

• Build and maintain production-grade backend modules (preferably using Python) for catastrophe model components – particularly hail & tornado hazard components.
• Collaborate with the R&D and Engineering teams to incorporate renewable energy-specific engineering insights into vulnerability models (e.g. hail/tornado impacts on solar farms).

3. Validation and quality assurance

• Engage in and improve the model validation process to ensure scientific rigor and market applicability.
• Conduct robust quality assurance checks to deliver high-confidence outputs to clients.

4. Data handling and insights

• Manipulate and analyse large datasets to derive meaningful insights for model calibration and validation (e.g. climate reanalysis data).
• Support the integration of asset-level exposure data into Industry Exposure Databases.

5. Client support and collaboration

• Run catastrophe models for clients and effectively communicate results in terms of risk quantification and actionable insights.
• Create data-driven narratives that support clients in pricing, portfolio optimization, and contingency planning.

6. Process improvement

• Streamline existing workflows and implement new methodologies to enhance model development efficiency.

Required qualifications & experience:

• Deep Knowledge of atmospheric sciences, particularly related to Severe Convective Storms (hail, tornado, straight-line wind, lightning).
• Master’s degree (or higher) in engineering, geophysical sciences, or related fields.
• Proficiency in Python (including libraries such as numpy, pandas, scipy).
• Strong mathematical and statistical knowledge, particularly in the context of modeling and data analysis.
• Experience working with GIS software (e.g., QGIS) for spatial analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to work with large datasets in Python, Excel and SQL.

Desirable:

• Experience of Manipulating atmospheric datasets (NETCDF).
• Experience in Exposure modelling (e.g. Industry Exposure Databases) highly valued.
• Passion for renewable energy and sustainability.
• Familiarity with catastrophe modelling platforms and, ideally, the Oasis Loss Modelling Framework.
• Experience with renewable energy-related datasets (e.g., windfarms, solar farms, or other energy/industrial assets/facilities).
• Understanding of financial loss metrics (e.g., AAL, OEP, AEP) and their application in insurance and reinsurance.
• Knowledge of the commercial and regulatory environment for catastrophe modelling.

Interpersonal skills:

• Initiative-driven and able to work independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and analytical mindset.
• Excellent communication skills to translate technical findings into actionable business insights.
• Passionate and proactive with a drive to contribute to the green-energy transition.

Why join us?

• Be part of the world’s first company to develop catastrophe models specifically for renewable energy assets.
• Work in a dynamic, fast-growing startup environment with opportunities for career advancement.
• Collaborate with world-class clients and partners in the renewable energy and insurance sectors.
• Contribute to meaningful work that supports the global transition to renewable energy.
