Job Description
At Prodigal, we are building AI Agents for loan servicing and collections. Founded in 2018 by IITB alumni, our journey began with one bold mission: to eradicate the inefficiencies and confusion that have plagued the lending and collections industry for decades. We are backed by Y Combinator, Accel and Menlo Ventures.
Today, we stand at the forefront of a seismic shift in the industry, building Agentic AI applications for consumer finance. Powered by our cutting-edge platform, Prodigal’s Intelligence Engine (PIE), we’re creating the next-generation agentic workforce - one that empowers companies to achieve unprecedented levels of operational excellence and intelligence.
With over half a billion consumer finance interactions processed and a growing impact on more than 100 leading companies across North America, we’ve established ourselves as the go-to partner for organizations that demand more from their AI solutions. Our unparalleled experience, coupled with our trusted customer relationships, uniquely positions us to build Agentic AI applications that will revolutionize the future of consumer finance.
At Prodigal, we are driven by a singular, unrelenting purpose: to transform how consumer finance companies engage with their customers and, in turn, drive successful outcomes for all.
What You’ll Do
- Build and deploy LLM-powered AI agents (including voice agents) in production, designed for real-world use cases

- Work directly with customers and Implementation Managers (IMs) to understand workflows, solve real-world problems, and drive successful go-lives and iterations
What We’re Looking For
- 1–3 years experience in backend / data / AI engineering
- Strong in Python + SQL

Preferred Qualification
- B.Tech, BE, or M.Tech in Computer Science or a related discipline, with 1–3 years of relevant experience
Bonus
- Experience with production LLM systems / AI agents
- Familiarity with evaluation, agent tooling, or voice AI
- Experience with Databricks, MongoDB, or distributed systems
- Startup or customer-facing engineering experience
Why This Role
