We’re Prosper, a UK-based fintech startup on a mission to maximise the wealth of our customers. We do this through low or no fees, great cash savings rates and access to financial guidance.
We’re building out our data infrastructure to support business reporting, insight generation, and future machine learning use cases—and we’re looking for an experienced Data Engineer Contractor to lead this work.

- Ingest data from third-party platforms via APIs or ETL tools on a scheduled basis.
- Build Transformations & Views
- Create clean, reliable datasets and views from raw data.
- Using Athena (or similar) for querying and joining data.
- Deploy Business Intelligence Tools
- Connect a BI tool to transformed datasets.
- Deliver essential dashboards for Finance, Ops, Product, and Marketing teams.
- Document & Handover
- Document the data architecture, pipeline logic, and key views.
- Support a smooth transition for internal maintenance post-delivery.
