TechOps IT Specialist I
Location: Boston, MA (Hybrid)-2 days a week in Boston
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, while simultaneously tackling the student debt crisis. (Yep, we think BIG.) Our innovative platform meaningfully connects employers, educational institutions, and diverse talent to drive mutual benefit—using accessible education financing as the thread. 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 largest HR organization out there!) and recipient of “43 Start Ups to Bet Your Career On in 2025” by Business Insider, Clasp is driven by our commitment to social impact and innovation. We are reshaping the future of the workforce one opportunity at a time. Join us on our journey to give power to learners and unlock fulfilling careers that drive positive change in their communities and beyond.
Clasp is looking for a TechOps Specialist to help build a world-class Information Technology and Help Desk experience as we scale rapidly from 50 to 100+ employees and from 30 to 100 enterprise customers.
This is not a traditional “helpdesk” role. You’ll be the frontline operator for IT, identity, and light security work, partnering closely with Information Security, PeopleOps & engineering leadership. You’ll support day-to-day employee needs while also contributing to foundational projects around automation, access control, cloud tooling, and AI enablement.
This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is hands-on, curious, scrappy, and wants to grow into DevOps, infrastructure, or security engineering over time.
