About Basic Capital
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. We are designing products that unlock access to capital markets and make long-term investing feel simple, intuitive, and trustworthy.
This is a company where product matters deeply because the stakes are real. When we ship, we are not shipping “features.” We are shipping tools people rely on for their financial future.
We are hiring a Product Manager to help build and scale a brand new product experience that simplifies the complex in service of a solution with immense societal need.
