More about this role
Basic Capital is a fintech company disrupting America’s $1T retirement industry by building the mortgage for retirement, unlocking market ownership, and making wealth accessible to every American. Our mission is to create products, platforms, and a credit marketplace that power a fundamentally new retirement system.
Our founding team includes leaders from Goldman Sachs, Uber, Block, and Robinhood, and we’re backed by top investors such as Lux, BoxGroup, SVAngel, Inspired Capital, and Henry Kravis. Based in SoHo, NYC, we’re assembling a lean, high-performance team committed to reducing wealth inequality.
About the Role
Basic Capital is building a new wealth system for everyday Americans, and we are doing it by unlocking access to capital markets in a way the world has not seen before.
To do that, we need to rethink the entire retirement investing stack. Not just the UI. Not just the fees. The actual financial products themselves. The strategies, the wrappers, the incentives, the constraints, and the outcomes.
This is a role for someone who wants to redesign retirement investing from first principles and ship products that feel inevitable in hindsight.
