<div class="content-intro"><p style="text-align: justify;">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.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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.&nbsp;</p></div><h2 data-section-id="1uboqym" data-start="129" data-end="150"><strong data-start="132" data-end="150">What You’ll Do</strong></h2> <ul data-start="151" data-end="889"> <li data-section-id="1o28nr6" data-start="187" data-end="318">Build and deploy <strong data-start="206" data-end="256">LLM-powered AI agents (including voice agents)</strong> in production, designed for real-world use cases</li> <li data-section-id="1d5b8sd" data-start="319" data-end="455">Own the <strong data-start="329" data-end="353">end-to-end lifecycle</strong> of AI systems — from problem scoping and design to deployment, monitoring, and continuous iteration</li> <li data-section-id="z7v9jb" data-start="456" data-end="579">Design and optimize <strong data-start="478" data-end="531">prompts, RAG pipelines, and evaluation frameworks</strong> to improve accuracy, latency, and reliability</li> <li data-section-id="1be6z5a" data-start="580" data-end="747">Work directly with <strong data-start="601" data-end="648">customers and Implementation Managers (IMs)</strong> to understand workflows, solve real-world problems, and drive successful go-lives and iterations&nbsp;</li> </ul> <hr data-start="891" data-end="894"> <h2 data-section-id="xs10nj" data-start="896" data-end="925"><strong data-start="899" data-end="925">What We’re Looking For</strong></h2> <ul data-start="926" data-end="1244"> <li data-section-id="roixvd" data-start="926" data-end="989">1–3 years experience in <strong data-start="952" data-end="987">backend / data / AI engineering</strong></li> <li data-section-id="1otwrkv" data-start="990" data-end="1040">Strong in <strong data-start="1002" data-end="1018">Python + SQL</strong></li> <li data-section-id="vrrg2x" data-start="1041" data-end="1107">Experience or exposure to <strong data-start="1069" data-end="1105">LLMs, RAG, or prompt engineering</strong></li> <li data-section-id="bqo8ni" data-start="1108" data-end="1174">High ownership, ability to <strong data-start="1137" data-end="1172">work in ambiguity and ship fast</strong></li> <li data-section-id="p5ehsx" data-start="1175" data-end="1244">Comfortable working with <strong data-start="1202" data-end="1242">customers and cross-functional teams</strong></li> </ul> <hr data-start="1246" data-end="1249"> <h2 data-section-id="1jw6yup" data-start="1251" data-end="1281"><strong data-start="1254" data-end="1281">Preferred Qualification</strong></h2> <ul data-start="1282" data-end="1390"> <li data-section-id="1ev5ggm" data-start="1282" data-end="1390">B.Tech, BE, or M.Tech in Computer Science or a related discipline, with 1–3 years of relevant experience</li> </ul> <hr data-start="1392" data-end="1395"> <h2 data-section-id="18b3jgg" data-start="1397" data-end="1409"><strong data-start="1400" data-end="1409">Bonus</strong></h2> <ul data-start="1410" data-end="1658"> <li data-section-id="g8g9b5" data-start="1410" data-end="1468">Experience with <strong data-start="1428" data-end="1466">production LLM systems / AI agents</strong></li> <li data-section-id="bh0ey7" data-start="1469" data-end="1532">Familiarity with <strong data-start="1488" data-end="1530">evaluation, agent tooling, or voice AI</strong></li> <li data-section-id="nvhhwc" data-start="1533" data-end="1600">Experience with <strong data-start="1551" data-end="1598">Databricks, MongoDB, or distributed systems</strong></li> <li data-section-id="h2ftcq" data-start="1601" data-end="1658">Startup or <strong data-start="1614" data-end="1645">customer-facing engineering</strong> experience</li> </ul> <hr data-start="1660" data-end="1663"> <h2 data-section-id="1ykaiup" data-start="1665" data-end="1685"><strong data-start="1668" data-end="1685">Why This Role</strong></h2> <ul data-start="1686" data-end="1863"> <li data-section-id="enqdij" data-start="1686" data-end="1740">Work on <strong data-start="1696" data-end="1738">real production AI systems (not demos)</strong></li> <li data-section-id="1x76z9r" data-start="1741" data-end="1795"><strong data-start="1743" data-end="1767">End-to-end ownership</strong> and fast iteration cycles</li> <li data-section-id="hq22kw" data-start="1796" data-end="1863">Direct impact on <strong data-start="1815" data-end="1861">enterprise customers and business outcomes</strong></li> </ul> <p>Mode of Work - In-Office</p><div class="content-conclusion"><p style="text-align: justify;">From day 1, Prodigal has been defined by talented, humble, and hungry leaders and we want this mindset and culture to continue to blossom from top to bottom in the company.
