While the financial accounts services industry might not seem like it breeds innovation at first glance, NextCapital is definitely breaking the mold. As the first company to build an automated 401(k) finance system, the team at NextCapital is always keeping their eye on ways to continue pushing the envelope.
“The industry we’re in is growing and so is the company,” shares Software Engineer Alex Lang. “We’re a small, fast growing company with the ability to try new things.”
