Senior Software Engineer

About Us

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.
