Solutions Engineering at hyperexponential
Our Solution Engineering team provides a world-class technical capability and domain knowledge to our Revenue function, with a mission to supercharge its three core pillars of Sales, Marketing, and Customer.
Our primary objective is to help our customers realise the full value of our platform - we specialise in handling only the most difficult and interesting problems that our customers face, where only a combination of technical depth, market expertise and Renew knowledge will do.
Your mission
As an Actuarial Solutions Engineer, you'll play a fundamental role in the day-to-day execution of the team's mission. This role has a unique split of 60% technical work including model development but also 40% client-facing work.
You'll be a trusted advisor to our prospects - but you know that trust has to be earned. To do so you'll use your excellent interpersonal skills and technical credibility to establish a rapport with your counterparts during the Sales process, catalysing a long-term relationship that'll underpin the success of our future partnership with some of the largest insurance companies in the world.
You'll be the experts' expert, knowing our product, hx Renew top-to-bottom, inside-out - both breadth and depth. You'll know its limits and which can be pushed. You'll know every trick in the book, the secret combos, and the cheat codes. You'll combine all of this with a deep knowledge of insurance technology to present 'the art of the possible' (and sometimes seemingly impossible!) to various stakeholders : actuaries, underwriters, IT, and exec.
You will collaborate closely with Sales, Engineering, Marketing, Product, Customer, and Model Development teams. Your approach will be customer-centric yet business-savvy, crafting solutions with the company's products and presenting them as viable options. You'll need to actively observe customer behaviour and predict future needs for product development.
You'll also be expected to play a pivotal role as we build out a community of pythonistas & product evangelists in New York and the wider US. This is expected to include joining, and occasionally hosting, meet-ups with other actuaries and developers as we build a developer community!
This, however, only scratches the surface of opportunity - hyperexponential is growing very quickly and our product is being used in an increasing (and sometimes unexpected!) number of ways across the market. If you join us, it's likely your journey could be similarly fast-paced and surprising!
What will you do?
- Shape the hx Renew demo and Proof of Concept (POC) offering with respect to the US insurance market, for both admitted and non-admitted businesses.
- Contribute to the creation of reusable sales assets to reduce sales cycle, such as :
