This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on a platform that helps solve one of America's biggest challenges: retirement savings.

We offer a competitive compensation package ranging from $185,000 to $220,000, comprehensive benefits including health insurance, 401(k) matching, and various wellness programs. The position is fully remote, allowing you to work from anywhere in the United States while contributing to a mission-driven company backed by major investors like BlackRock, TPG, and SoftBank.

As a team member, you'll be part of a culture that values customer obsession, long-term thinking, and continuous improvement. You'll work in an environment that emphasizes documentation, security, and scalability, while helping to build systems that make retirement savings accessible to millions of Americans.
