Senior Software Engineer

Capitalize is building critical infrastructure for the $20 trillion retirement savings market with scalable technology and a world-class team.

We’re bringing a digital, API-first approach to modernize the $1 trillion in retirement account transfers and rollovers that happen annually. By doing so, we’re helping the almost 20 million Americans who change jobs each year with a 401(k) do the right thing with their assets.

Our Enterprise offering includes a full suite of APIs used by leading financial institutions such as Robinhood, Morgan Stanley, SoFi, TIAA, and many more. Our Advisor offering helps wealth management firms and advisors leverage that same technology, helping end-users seamlessly find and consolidate their retirement savings into one account.

We’ve raised $35mm+ from leading venture capital investors including RRE Ventures, Canapi Ventures, Greycroft, and others, and we’ve been recognized as one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions, one of the Most Innovative Companies in America by Fast Company, and by Forbes as one of the Top 50 Fintech Companies in the US for several years running.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Capitalize, your work will be instrumental in our efforts to help more people gain control of their retirement savings. We’re looking for someone with strong back-end development experience to join us in building the APIs and infrastructure to power our platform.

In your day-to-day, you will create meaningful product functionality, execute on testing new ideas, handle development on new product initiatives, design and build APIs, touch data processes, and enhance other internal functions that drive our business forward and enable us on our mission. We are a small, fast-paced team, and collaborate frequently on what is created (from Figma to deployment), and ownership is a key driving factor for our engineers.

If you have experience in early-stage startups, thrive in cross-functional environments, and enjoy working on initiatives that people interact with daily, we’d love to hear from you!
