## 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 This confusion stems from outdated systems and manual processes that lead to errors, delays, and widespread frustration.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.

## About Clasp

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Clasp provides AI-driven health benefits administration infrastructure for HR, payroll, and benefits brokers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Zach Zhang and Amar Jasarbasic

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: InsurTech / Health benefits administration
- **Target customers**: B2B – HR platforms, payroll companies, benefits brokers and brokerages
- **Mission**: Make employee benefits easier for everyone by automating administration, compliance, and carrier connections.

## Products & Services
- **[Clasp Admin Platform]**: SaaS platform for managing employee benefits – medical enrollment, HSA/FSA, COBRA, ACA compliance, and configurable eligibility rules. Integrates with existing HR/payroll systems via API, SDK, or MCP server.
- **[Developer API]**: API-first infrastructure that lets partners embed benefits administration directly into their own software, enabling quote-to-bind workflows and carrier feed automation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $7.88M raised across 2 rounds (Seed & Series A)
- **Notable Investors**: Base10 Partners (lead), Eric Stromberg, Andrew Brown, Willem Van Lancker
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew from 8 (earlier in 2026) to 17 as of May 31, 2026 (per Tracxn). Actively hiring for roles including Account Executive and Business Operations Associate. Cited as “powering benefits at scale for industry leaders.”

## Competitive Advantages
- **Modular infrastructure** that plugs into existing stacks via API, SDK, or MCP server – not a monolithic platform.
- **High carrier connection automation rate** (claimed “hands-free carrier connections”) reducing eligibility discrepancies.
- **24/7 compliance monitoring** for ACA, COBRA, and regulatory feeds.
- **Built specifically for brokers** – an underserved segment in the employee benefits space.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue automating the end-to-end benefits administration lifecycle (quote → enrollment → compliance → carrier feeds).
- Expand integration partnerships with payroll, HRIS, and vertical SaaS platforms.
- Scale sales and customer success teams to capture more of the broker and employer market.

## Why Work Here
- **Early-stage startup** (Series A) with a clear product-market fit in InsurTech – opportunity to have outsized impact.
- **Culture**: Emphasizes automation, engineering excellence, and “building the future of benefits.”
- **Work policy**: Flexible – roles posted as both “In-Office or Remote” (Account Executive) and “Hybrid” (Business Operations Associate). Based in a NYC office (Flatiron area) with options for remote/hybrid depending on role.
- **Team**: Small, tight-knit group of ~17 people as of mid-2026; co-founders are hands-on (Zach Zhang and CEO Amar Jasarbasic).
- **Engineering culture**: API-first product; developers work on infrastructure that integrates with dozens of carrier systems and compliance frameworks.
