Job Description
About Clasp
We're a team of builders, united by our passion for simplifying the most complex industries. At Clasp, we're on a mission to transform the health insurance industry by modernizing and automating the entire benefits experience.
We started in 2023 backed by investors such as Base10 Partners, Terrain, Conversion Capital, and SemperVirens, firms that have led investments and helped grow companies like Ramp, Rippling, and Blend from the seed stage.
The problem we're solving:
Employers collectively spend over a trillion dollars on benefits every year, yet more than 85% of employees find their benefits confusing. This confusion stems from outdated systems and manual processes that lead to errors, delays, and widespread frustration.
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where everyone benefits:
Brokers eliminate busy work and enhance their advisory roles
Employers receive a tailored, efficient benefits experience with better coverage and service, often at lower costs
Employees gain clear, accessible information about their benefits, leading to higher satisfaction and engagement
Partners like HR and payroll platforms expand their offerings effortlessly with our embeddable solutions
What will you do in this role
We're seeking early Product Engineers that want to own problems end to end, from architecture to shipping to the partner conversation that shapes what gets built next. You'll have autonomy and the room to make an outsized impact on the core product.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for:
Owning the transformation of our core products to best in class experiences from the benefit administration workflows and carrier integrations to embeddable user interfaces
Driving product direction as a critical member of the early product engineering team.
Establishing robust technical foundations that scale with our largest partners' needs and future growth.
Cultivating partner relationships to identify and shape our roadmap and feature development.
Who you are
You could be a great fit if you:
Possess exceptional engineering skills to build complex systems with elegant design and robust architecture.
Collaborate effectively with customers and partners to solve complex problems.
Exhibit strong product sense and translate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders effortlessly.
Learn quickly, motivate yourself, and execute rapidly while maintaining high quality standards.
Exhibit a profound curiosity for exploring overlooked nuances and niche areas within complex technical and industry domains.
Bonus:
Enjoy technical writing and sharing knowledge and your work with the broader team and wider community.
Bring 5+ years of experience designing and building systems through multiple lifecycles.
Have expertise in Django (Python) and/or React (TypeScript) - not required, but it will help you ramp quickly.
Value code maintainability, testability, and clarity highly.
Communicate excellently, especially with non-technical team members and customers.
How the team works today
We’re a team of ~15 and growing headquartered in NYC, with teammates between both coasts. Small enough that everyone knows what everyone else is shipping, but big enough that nobody’s alone on a problem. A few things that are true about working here:
You get to own the whole problem, not the ticket. Scoping, tradeoffs, and customer conversations all belong to the same person. Roadmaps are for direction, not instruction.
Quality is not negotiable, speed usually is. We ship fast when it's reversible and slowly when it isn't. Knowing which is which is most of the job.
We write things down. Decisions live in docs and public channels, not in DMs. It's how a team stays fast.
Compensation details
We offer competitive salaries in line with years of experience and work location. Our benefits include health insurance that is 100% covered, a $5K office budget, a stipend for home internet expenses, and unlimited PTO (with a 15-day minimum), among others.
Base compensation for this position ranges from $180,000-$220,000.
Final offer amounts are determined by experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed.
