You’ll partner with product, analytics, and business teams to understand their needs and make data easier to find, use, and share. We value engineers who solve problems, sweat details, and simplify complex systems. If you like improving tools and processes and want to help shape Prosper’s culture of innovation and collaboration, we’d love to talk.

  • Evaluate new tools and approaches; bring forward practical ideas that improve speed, quality, or cost.
  • Bring curiosity, ownership, and clear thinking to tough engineering problems.

Skills that will help you thrive

  • Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of object-oriented programming in an enterprise setting. Deep experience in Python; experience with Java, C#, or Go is a plus.
  • Proficiency in a SQL (e.g. BigQuery, T‑SQL, Redshift, PostgreSQL), with an interest in dimensional modeling and data warehouses.
  • Solid Git / GitHub skills and familiarity with Agile and the SD.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.
  • DevOps experience with CI / CD, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar).
  • Proficient with LLM‑assisted development in IDEs such as Cursor.
  • Commitment to an inclusive, learning‑focused culture and continuous improvement.
  • What we offer

  • The opportunity to collaborate with a team of creative, fun, and driven colleagues on products that have an immediate and significant impact on people's lives.
  • The opportunity to work in a fast‑paced environment with experienced industry leaders.
  • Flexible time off, comprehensive health coverage, competitive salary, paid parental leave, and other wellness benefits.
  • A bevy of other perks including Udemy access, childcare assistance, pet insurance discounts, legal assistance, and additional discounts through Perkspot.
  • Interview Process

  • Recruiter Call : A brief screening to discuss your experience and initial questions.
  • Department Interview : Deeper dive into technical skills and project alignment with the Hiring Manager or team member.
  • Take‑Home Assignment : Analyze a real‑world problem, propose solutions, and present findings, evaluating analytical, strategic thinking, and presentation skills.
