Job Description

<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About Prodigal</strong></h2>

<p>Prodigal is the connected AI platform leading financial institutions use to run their operations.</p>

<p>We work with banks, lenders, credit unions, and other financial companies that lend money to people and manage those relationships over time.</p>

<p>These institutions make millions of high-stakes decisions every day. Who should they reach? When should they reach them? What should they say or offer? When should a case move to a human? How should that change based on the borrower, the account, previous interactions, and the regulations involved?</p>

<p>Getting those decisions right requires a deep understanding of the people, processes, rules, and edge cases behind them.</p>

<p>Prodigal has spent the last eight years building that understanding. More than a billion interactions between financial institutions and their customers have shaped the intelligence, guardrails, and AI agents we now run in production across North America.</p>

<p>Today, our AI agents analyze conversations, capture context, guide human agents, decide the next action, conduct customer conversations, orchestrate outreach, and help people complete payments and resolutions. They are connected, so what is learned in one interaction can inform what happens next.</p>

<p>We are expanding this swarm of AI agents across more of the work financial institutions do: originations, document processing, back-office workflows, servicing, and other critical operations where money, identity, people, and regulation intersect.</p>

<p>We are backed by Y Combinator, Accel, and Menlo Ventures, and work with 100+ financial institutions across North America. Listen directly from our CTO, Cofounder - Sangram Raje</p>
