Company Description:

Want to save lives and make the world more resilient to earthquakes? At Safehub, we are reshaping catastrophe risk and resilience from individual buildings to portfolios. Through our SaaS/IoT solution, we provide real-time building-specific earthquake damage information and support the world’s only sensor-based earthquake insurance product. Our platform and devices have the potential to transform the way individuals and companies respond to earthquakes by providing accurate understandings of damage inflicted to buildings.

Safehub raised its series A from Silicon Valley’s top early-stage funds and investors. We have excellent traction, having developed our core product, and are working with a wide variety of customers including numerous Fortune 500 companies. Yet, we’re still small enough to offer the ground-floor benefits of a venture-backed startup, including significant career growth and financial upside potential. You will join a strong team from diverse backgrounds who are experts in their fields. We are also a fully remote company with 2-3 in-person all hands meetings per year.

Safehub is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
