Senior Design Engineer

About

Neptune is building a different kind of insurance company, one designed from the ground up as a technology platform.

We are the largest provider of private flood insurance in the U.S., operating in a market that for decades was almost entirely served by the federal government. By bringing modern technology, data, and automation into this space, we are helping redefine how flood insurance is priced, distributed, and experienced.

At our core, we are an AI-native engineering organization. Our platform integrates large-scale geospatial, environmental, and property-level data to make real-time underwriting and pricing decisions. Instead of relying on manual processes, we have built systems that are fast, consistent, and continuously improving.

Nearly half of our team is made up of engineers and data scientists, including individuals with deep academic and industry experience. We are attracting a level of technical talent not typically drawn to insurance and applying it to a field that has been slow to change.
