## Job description

## About Us

Clasp is a venture-backed, mission-driven startup transforming access to education and career pathways. We are revolutionizing the way employers attract and retain critical talent and the way colleges and universities support their students through education financing — all while tackling the student debt crisis. (Yep, we think BIG.) We like to think of ourselves as more than a fintech; we're a catalyst for economic mobility. A Forbes Fintech 50 company, portfolio company of SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management — the world's largest HR professional society), and one of Business Insider's "43 Start-Ups to Bet Your Career On in 2025," Clasp is driven by our commitment to social impact and innovation.

Full Stack Engineer - Evergreen Posting This posting is evergreen, meaning we're building a pipeline of strong candidates for anticipated openings on this team rather than filling a single, immediate role. We may reach out now or in the future as positions become available. Please note: We are not able to provide visa sponsorship of any kind at this time, including for current or future employment.

We’re looking for talented Full Stack Software Engineers to join our Engineering team as we scale our product to serve tens of thousands more students and expand partnerships with alternative education providers and employers. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building end-to-end features, collaborating closely with product and design, and growing their technical depth in a production environment. We’re especially excited about engineers who are deeply customer-obsessed—who think beyond the ticket in front of them, care about how real users experience the product, and take pride in leaving systems, code, and processes better than they found them. You’ll contribute meaningfully across the stack—frontend, backend, and infrastructure—while learning from experienced engineers and operating within a strong DevOps culture. At Clasp, engineers have real ownership over the systems they build. You’ll be trusted to take features from idea to production, improve existing systems, and continuously strengthen your craft as part of a supportive, mission-driven team.

## What You’ll Do

- Build, enhance, and maintain features across our application management and loan repayment platform, contributing to both frontend and backend systems
- Leave the codebase and systems better than you found them by improving clarity, reliability, documentation, and developer experience as you work
- Develop polished, accessible user experiences for students and administrators, and reliable APIs for internal and external partners
- Build with a strong sense of customer empathy, considering usability, accessibility, and long-term maintainability in everyday engineering decisions
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to understand requirements and translate them into well-designed, maintainable solutions
- Write high-quality, well-tested code and participate in code reviews to continuously improve team standards
- Contribute to system reliability and performance by improving existing services, fixing bugs, and addressing technical debt
- Participate in our DevOps culture by owning the services you build, supporting deployments, and helping maintain production stability
- Learn and grow by taking on increasingly complex problems over time, with support and mentorship from senior engineers
- Participate in on-call rotations as needed, contributing to resilient, observable, and well-monitored systems

## What You’ll Need

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience (bootcamp or professional experience)
- 5+ years of experience building web applications in a production environment (startup or fast-paced product team preferred)
- Experience contributing to full-stack systems, including frontend, backend, and basic cloud infrastructure
- A customer-first mindset and a sense of ownership over the quality and durability of the work you ship
- Care for craft—taking pride in improving existing systems, not just shipping new features
- Comfort working with modern CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins)
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners and communicate technical ideas clearly

Experience working in or interest in regulated environments (e.g., fintech, healthcare, education) is a plus, but not required

Technical Experience (some combination of):

- Languages & Frameworks: JavaScript / TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI, or similar)
- Frontend: HTML, CSS, responsive design principles; familiarity with Figma designs
- Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)
- Cloud: AWS or Google Cloud
- DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, basic cloud and container tooling

You don’t need to be an expert in everything—we value strong fundamentals, curiosity, and a growth mindset.

## What We Give in Return

- Competitive cash and equity compensation
- Health benefits (medical, dental, vision) and 401(k)
- Commuter benefits
- Flexible PTO policy
- A collaborative, mission-driven team with strong technical mentorship
- Opportunities to grow your skills and career as Clasp scales

Salary The salary range for this position is competitive and will be commensurate with the candidate's experience, qualifications, and industry knowledge, ranging between $135,000 to $165,000 annually. In addition to the base salary, we offer an attractive equity component as part of our compensation package, providing an opportunity for eligible employees to share in the success and growth of our company. We are committed to offering competitive compensation and benefits packages to attract and retain top talent.

Remote Policy To ensure smooth collaboration with the Boston-based team, we are limiting to Eastern/Central timezones with the expectation that it will be Boston hours. Additionally, they must be within 1 hour of a medium hub/ large airport with multiple daily flights to Boston. We are targeting the broader New England area to start as we expect that the candidate to have frequent travel to Boston for onboarding and ongoing collaboration.

Closing If you are a senior designer who cares about craft, thinks in systems, and wants to anchor design for a mission-driven company at a real inflection point, we want to hear from you. Join us in connecting healthcare students with meaningful careers and the financial benefits that change their lives. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.
