Product Engineer

Product Engineer Opportunity At 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 and our most recent funding was led by key investors such as Base
10 Partners, Terrain, and Conversion Capital, firms that have led investments and helped grow companies like Ramp, Rippling, and Blend from the seed stage. So we like to think we're in good company

Here's 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 This confusion stems from outdated systems and manual processes that lead to errors, delays, and widespread frustration.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 a founding product engineer driven by the chance to collaborate with an exceptional team and build products that delight users. This is a rare, ground-floor opportunity where you'll have autonomy, ownership, and the ability to make a significant impact across the entire product.

As a product engineer at Clasp, you'll evolve our technical processes, own major projects, and be a core contributor to our vision. You'll build scalable solutions that automate workflows, shipping software daily, while championing our users and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

In this role, you'll be responsible for:

• Building product by collaborating with the founding team to define, architect, and construct our core offering from the ground up.
• Establishing robust technical foundations that scale with our largest partners' needs and future growth.
• Driving product direction and team construction as a critical member of the founding product engineering team.
• Cultivating partner relationships to identify and shape future product needs, informing 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. While these aren't hard requirements, expertise in React (Type Script) and Django (Python) are added bonuses.
• 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 life cycles.
• Value code maintainability, testability, and clarity highly.
• Communicate excellently, especially with non-technical team members and customers.
