Your role in our mission
At Prosper, we're building the technology that makes borrowing simpler, faster, and more transparent. Our vision is to advance financial well-being by democratizing access to credit -- meeting people wherever they are, on any device. We're looking for exceptional talent to help us get there.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Personal Loans team, you will own the borrower-facing experiences that drive Prosper's core business -- from rate check through funding. Using modern web and mobile technologies, you will build and maintain the applications that guide borrowers through one of the most important financial decisions they'll make. Your work will directly impact conversion, borrower satisfaction, and Prosper's top-line growth.
We are investing heavily in AI across our engineering organization -- from AI-assisted development workflows to intelligent borrower experiences. You'll be joining a team that actively embraces AI tools to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and explore new ways to make the borrower journey smarter and more personalized.
How you’ll make an impact
- Collaborate within a cross-functional team that includes product, design, backend engineering, and quality engineers to deliver seamless borrower experiences across web and mobile.
- Own projects end to end -- from technical design and architecture through launch, iteration, and measurement -- driving outcomes that move the business forward.
- Build and evolve our React and React Native applications within a pnpm/Turborepo monorepo, shipping features that work beautifully on every platform.
- Design and maintain shared component libraries and cross-platform modules that accelerate development across multiple product teams.
- Partner with backend and platform engineering teams to integrate with GraphQL and RESTful APIs in a performant, reliable, and secure manner.
- Identify and drive improvements in performance, testing, accessibility, and developer experience that make the entire team more effective.
- Uphold high standards of code quality and user experience while iterating rapidly in a regulated environment.
- Leverage AI-powered tools (coding assistants, automated testing, code review) to amplify your productivity and help establish best practices for AI-assisted development across the team.
-
Contribute to a strong, inclusive engineering culture by mentoring peers, championing best practices, and participating in thoughtful code reviews.
Skills that will help you thrive
