Peer-to-peer lending marketplace for personal loans, home equity, and credit cards
Prosper operates a multi-product lending marketplace serving 2M+ customers across personal loans, home equity, and credit products. The tech stack—BigQuery, dbt, Looker, Python, R, and production-grade containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)—reveals a data-driven underwriting and risk-analytics operation. Active hiring skews heavily toward data (5 roles) and finance (4 roles) relative to engineering (2), signaling Prosper is scaling credit decisioning and capital management rather than platform infrastructure.

Prosper is a peer-to-peer lending marketplace founded in 2005 that has grown to serve over 2 million customers. The company offers three main product lines: a personal loan marketplace (the original platform), home equity loans and lines of credit, and the Prosper Card (a credit card issued through partner banks). Prosper operates as a licensed lender and marketplace operator, with personal loans originated through partner banks and capital sourced from both retail investors and institutional funders. The San Francisco-based firm operates at 201–500 employees and is privately held.
Prosper runs on BigQuery, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server for data warehousing; dbt and Python for analytics and modeling; Looker and Tableau for visualization; React for front-end; Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform for infrastructure; and Java, C#, and Go for backend services.
Prosper has helped over 2 million customers since its founding in 2005. The platform serves borrowers seeking personal loans, home equity products, and credit card access, as well as investors in the peer-to-peer marketplace.
