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.

Shape the experience thousands rely on for their financial security

Tackle the challenge of building the UX and UI for a brand new product that makes complexity disappear.

This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain a backlog.

This is a role for someone who wants to own a product surface end-to-end, move fast with high standards, and ship improvements that compound into something people trust with their retirement.

You will guide the continued development and refinement of the Basic Capital product. Ship product updates with speed and grace. Own the user experience that thousands of Americans rely on for their long-term financial security.
