For enterprises, we offer a full suite of enterprise-grade APIs, including an Embedded Rollover API, which allows financial institutions to seamlessly power rollovers in their native experiences. We empower enterprises with delightful user experiences that make it easier for their end users to fund their accounts.

- Knowledge of relational databases and/or NoSQL databases
- Experience with monitoring solutions such as CloudWatch, and troubleshooting best practices
- Effective independent contribution, with a sense of ownership for creating great features, and a desire to work in “green-field,” brand new initiatives
- Experience working on products with rapid feature development, including fast iterations and tight feedback loops during QA processes
- Desire to take on growth-oriented initiatives outside of core feature work
- Experience with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines

What We Do
We believe all Americans should retire with enough money for a life of dignity. Over time, we intend to eliminate all of the friction & fees embedded in the retirement savings system that stops them from doing so. Our first product helps people digitally locate their old 401k and transfer it seamlessly into a new account at any financial institution - without the paperwork, phone calls, and faxes of the past. In doing so, we’re automating the process by which $650 billion in 401k assets is transferred each year. We’re also making sure that the 15 million 401k account holders who change jobs annually don’t do the wrong thing with their assets - like cash them out, leave them behind, or pay excessive fees that erode their savings over time.
