Specialty P&C insurer automating claims and catastrophe modeling
Argo Group is a New York-based specialty property and casualty underwriter with 501–1,000 employees across US, Peru, and Bermuda. Active hiring is concentrated in claims (53 open roles) and insurance operations (28), with 143 positions posted in the last 30 days — a pace that suggests operational scaling or claims-handling capacity buildout. The tech stack (SQL, Python, Tableau, Nest.js, Angular on Azure/Kubernetes) is classic insurance-ops infrastructure, but the project list reveals a strategic pivot: real-time capital intelligence, end-to-end catastrophe modeling, and data-driven claim management.
