At Verisk, we help the world see new possibilities and inspire change for better tomorrows. Our analytics bridge data, science, and technology to help businesses and communities become stronger, more resilient, and more sustainable.
Within Verisk Catastrophic Risk Solutions (CRS), we build advanced stochastic models that simulate complex catastrophic events—such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods—and run large‑scale Monte Carlo simulations spanning hundreds of thousands of simulated years. These insights empower the insurance industry to make objective, data‑driven decisions about risk.
If you’re motivated by purpose, scale, and technically meaningful work—you’ll feel right at home here.
We’re hiring a Core QA Associate II to support the quality and integrity of our cloud‑based SaaS solutions. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of quality engineering, automation, analytics, and cloud technologies, and who wants to work closely with developers in an Agile environment.
You’ll play a critical role in ensuring that our scientific and financial models meet exacting standards for accuracy, validation, and performance—directly influencing products used across the global insurance market.
What You’ll Do
As a Core QA Associate II, you will:
- Ensure products meet strict accuracy requirements through explicit and implicit validation of scientific and financial algorithms
- Partner closely with developers to define test strategies and ensure full product test coverage
- Design, write, and maintain unit and integration tests using C# and Python, optimized for execution in AWS/cloud environments
- Build API‑based automated tests that validate core system functionality and determine pass/fail outcomes programmatically
- Contribute all testing to a fully automated testing framework
- Participate as an active member of cross‑functional Agile Scrum teams, handling concurrent workstreams
- Apply a quantitative and analytical mindset to solve complex problems and support strategic initiatives
- Bring a methodical, detail‑oriented approach to problem solving and quality execution
What We’re Looking For
We’re focused on strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to grow. Ideal candidates will bring:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a STEM discipline (e.g., engineering, data science, mathematics, science, finance/economics)
- 2+ years of QA experience in an Agile software development environment
- Experience developing or testing cloud‑native SaaS products, web applications, or serverless architectures
- Hands‑on experience with object‑oriented programming (C++, C#, Java); Python experience strongly preferred
- Exposure to analytical programming and data tools (Python, R, SQL, Pandas, data frames; R/MATLAB a plus)
- Familiarity with API testing (Postman) and end‑to‑end testing tools (e.g., Cypress)
- Strong quantitative thinking, analytical reasoning, and attention to detail
- The ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams and communicate clearly
- Experience with relational databases and working knowledge of on‑prem or cloud‑based database systems
