F= inanciero - a very unique, profitable start-up and technology company

who need access to responsible and empowering fi= nancial products and
services. Unlik= e mainstream institutions, Progreso Financiero provides

Progreso Financiero(PF)= is at a critical point in pivoting from a
financial servi= ces mindset into a technology company that provides
financial services. This is a brand new position = and an opportunity to
design and buil= d modern data-driven algorithms and machine learning

of engineers who dream of data, simple user e= xperiences and the
endless possibi= lity of applying new tech to build the algos and
internal / consumer facing platform to enable social= ly responsible
lending practic= es -- from scratch.

Founded in 2005 - the b= usiness stemmed from a Stanford Graduate School
of Business pro= ject. Progreso Financiero is essentially micro lending
on a massive scale. It is a *for profit- compa= ny committed to social
responsibility.= To date the company has extended over $400M in capital
to underserved Hispanic families. The company= has over 70 locations
across CA, TX

Currently, we have several openings across v= arious levels (Senior,
Staff, Principl= e and Architects) in the following areas: Data & Risk,
Core Engines & Ops and Consumer Facin= g Apps.
