Based in Austin, Texas, Modernize is an online media company that connects homeowners with contractors who specialize in energy-efficient home improvement services. With a mission to bring "home improvement into the modern age," the company was established in 2005 by CEO Jason Polka. Prior to launching Modernize, Polka owned a large home improvement company based in California's Bay Area. When he was introduced to digital marketing, he recognized an opportunity to bridge gaps between contractors and homeowners and launched Modernize to help millions of homeowners upgrade their homes in creative, environmentally-friendly ways. The company's home improvements include solar installations, windows, heating and air-conditioning, and roofing services.

In 2016, Modernize was recognized by the Austin Business Journal as one of the "Best Places to Work in Central Texas." The company is comprised of a close-knit group of employees who "empower constant growth" and are authentic, bold, data-driven, fun, humble, motivated, objective, positive, full of energy, "and a little weird." Team members regularly collaborate with one another and cite their employer's energy, value in diversity, and appreciation of each employee's unique contributions as reasons for their job satisfaction.

In the past, Modernize has offered full-time, part-time, flexible schedule, temporary, and telecommuting jobs. Eligible team members enjoy benefits packages that may include a 401(k) retirement plan; dental, medical, and vision coverage; and transportation reimbursement. Additional perks of working for Modernize include a flexible PTO policy on top of eight company holidays, a pet-friendly office, career development and certification programs, catered lunches, team-building events, and more. The company supports the personal and professional growth of its staff across all career stages and provides each employee with role-specific tools and resources to help them succeed.
