**Mission**
Our mission at Penguin Benefits is to help families access their benefits with
ease.
**Help Working Parents Access Parental Leave Benefits With Ease**
We help expecting parents access their parental leave with ease and
confidence. As new parents embrace the joy and responsibilities of parenthood,
a lot of important planning takes place. Navigating maternity and parental
leave benefits can be very confusing - consisting of job protection laws at
both the state and federal levels, group short term disability insurance,
employer benefits and policies, and state disability or paid family leave
benefits. According to a research on the key challenges for new parents - 32%
of new parents didn’t understand the Family Medical Leave Act prior to having
a child, 38% did not understand short-term disability insurance, and 49% of
new moms did not meet with their HR to develop a leave plan.
We clear the confusion for families on HR, insurance, and benefits processes
that are too important to be misunderstood.
**Tremendous Growth Opportunity**
We are an angel-backed Insurtech/HRtech startup based in silicon valley, with
proven traction from revenue-generating partnerships with industry-leading
enterprises and a strong market opportunity. Our market leading, patent-
pending leave planning tool is adopted by Fortune 100 companies. We have the
support of many advisors/investors/mentors, who are experts and former c-level
executives in leave management and insurance industries. This role has
tremendous opportunity to grow with the company. As one of the early members
of Penguin, you will work closely with the CEO, the founding team, and our
customers to iterate on our product. You will help drive product and technical
roadmaps. You'll get support and advice from our technology advisor, who held
roles as technology executive in various Silicon Valley high growth technology
startups and the world’s largest internet technology companies.
**Role & Responsibilities**
You will build a cloud-based, fast, responsive web application to help
expecting parents learn about their paid parental leave benefits. You will
implement security features needed to safeguard client’s privacy. You need to
