The Standard Tech Stack
Workplace benefits and insurance provider serving mid-market employers
The Standard is a century-old financial services company offering group and individual insurance products—disability, life, dental, vision, accident, critical illness—alongside retirement plans and paid family leave administration. The tech stack (SQL, Python, R, Power BI, Azure, Workday, Bloomberg, FactSet) reflects a traditional insurance operations baseline with modest analytics depth; notably absent are modern data-pipeline or cloud-native tools, suggesting infrastructure modernization may be a secondary priority relative to sales and compliance. Hiring skews heavily toward sales (79 of 139 roles) with senior-level emphasis, indicating a growth-through-distribution push.
