Telematics and behavior-based insurance platform powered by ML and real-time data
Quanata builds insurance products around telematics and driver behavior data, running a modern ML stack (Python, Kafka, Snowflake, Databricks, SageMaker) with heavy emphasis on data pipeline reliability and model validation. Active hiring across engineering and data roles (senior-weighted, 13 of 14 open positions) paired with projects in test automation, feature stores, and ML governance suggests the company is scaling its data science velocity and hardening production ML systems. Recent security tool adoption (SAST, DAST) indicates a push toward automated compliance in AI/ML product validation.
Quanata develops context-based insurance solutions designed to encourage safer driving behaviors through telematics and behavioral data. The product sits at the intersection of insurance underwriting and mobile/connected device data, serving insurers and drivers. The team—comprising data scientists, actuaries, engineers, designers, and marketers—operates from San Francisco with 201–500 employees. Internally, they manage complex benefits, payroll, and HR workflows (leave of absence, 401k, open enrollment) alongside the core product platform, reflecting operational complexity common to mid-market insurtech companies.
Core stack: Python, Kafka, Apache Airflow, Snowflake, Databricks, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS (Step Functions, SageMaker, EKS). ML tooling includes MLflow and Snowpark. API layer uses GraphQL and gRPC. Recently adopting SAST and DAST for security scanning.
Active projects include: scalable test automation for data pipelines and ML models; a shared feature store (Snowflake + Snowpark + Kafka); ML pipeline testing (data quality, drift, bias, model accuracy); product security for AI/ML; and internal HR systems (benefits renewal, payroll, leave compliance).
