Solutions Architect

About Us Capitalize is a mission-driven company solving critical problems in the $20 trillion retirement savings market with delightful products, scalable technology, and a world-class team. At our core, we’re modernizing the $1 trillion in retirement account transfers (401(k) rollovers) that happen annually and currently involve manual, paper-based processes. 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 rather than lose them to fees and taxes. Our Enterprise offering includes a full suite of enterprise-grade APIs used by leading financial institutions to help their users find and transfer retirement accounts as part of their core funding flows. Our Consumer offering helps individuals digitally locate forgotten 401(k)s and consolidate them into one of our brand-name financial partners. 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 and by Forbes as one of the Top 50 Fintech Companies in the US.
