## Job description

## ABOUT PROSPER AI

Prosper is building the most advanced conversational AI agents for healthcare — human-like phone agents that handle the administrative work draining the system: claims status checks, benefit verification, prior authorizations, patient scheduling, and balance reminders. Our mission is to eliminate $200B in administrative waste so healthcare professionals can focus more on healing and less on paperwork.

Headquartered in New York with an office in Barcelona, we work with dozens of large and enterprise healthcare organizations, and we've raised $35M from top investors including a16z, Base10, YC, and Emergence. We're a highly motivated team of 40 — ex-MIT, HBS, Bain, and Math/CS/Physics olympiad medalists — and as we prepare for our next stage of growth, we're looking for ambitious, exceptionally talented people to help scale our product and grow with us.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

At Prosper, we're pushing the limits of what's possible with real-time AI. We're not just making voice agents that "talk" — we're engineering systems that sound human, reason under strong latency constraints, and integrate seamlessly with our customers' complex internal tools. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work side by side with our AI PMs to find technical opportunities that increase the performance of our agents for each of our clients.

Day to day, you'll:

- Build features that ship fast — develop new capabilities, MVPs, and internal tooling across our FastAPI (Python) + PostgreSQL backend and React (TypeScript) frontend, with a bias toward getting things in front of clients quickly.
- Integrate with messy real-world systems — build and maintain integrations with EHRs and payor systems (and the APIs, edge cases, and quirks that come with them) so agents fit seamlessly into each client's stack.
- Debug live, high-volume systems — diagnose and resolve issues for agents making thousands of daily phone calls, where reliability and call quality directly affect patient and provider experience.
- Turn client feedback into product — close the loop with AI PMs and engineering, surfacing patterns across clients and feeding them back into the core platform.
- Tune and optimize voice agents — iterate on LLM prompting, voice and transcription configuration, and conversation logic to make agents sound more human and perform reliably under real-time latency constraints.
- Manage multiple clients at once — prioritize across competing deadlines while keeping quality high.

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Experience with software development, ideally through an internship or side project.
- A good understanding of the technologies that power our stack or their equivalents in other languages: FastAPI (Python) + PostgreSQL backend with a React (TypeScript) frontend.
- Experience working closely with clients and finding creative solutions to their needs is a plus.
- Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents or other ML models is a plus.
- Founder mindset: ownership + hard work. You see Prosper as a learning step for your future startup.
- Be ready to handle the challenges of supporting AI voice agents making thousands of daily phone calls.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Maths, Physics or related field (or equivalent experience).

## WHAT WE OFFER

- The opportunity to work alongside an experienced team that has built and scaled a fast-growing, Series A company backed by top Silicon Valley investors
- Work on innovative products that are transforming US healthcare operations and sit at the heart of conversational agents.
- Significant growth opportunities as the company scales and the team takes on increasing ownership
- Competitive compensation
- Join an international team based in the heart of Barcelona
- Have real ownership and impact from day one
- Be part of a culture that rewards bold thinking, analytical rigor, and tangible results

## INTERVIEWING PROCESS

1. Initial conversation to understand who you are, what you want to do, and where you want to go (30 minutes)
2. Work on a take-home challenge to discuss in the following interview
3. Review your solution with a couple of engineers from the team (60 minutes)
4. Talk with the co-founder (30 minutes)
5. Offer stage

This is a full-time role in Barcelona office.

- Mission or purpose statement: "Unlock universal access to care by helping healthcare organizations achieve unprecedented efficiency with AI agents" and "wipe out $200B in admin waste, freeing healthcare to focus on what it does best—healing, not holding."

## Products & Services
- **AI Voice Agents for Patient Access**: Handles scheduling, rescheduling, cancellations, new patient intake, and insurance information collection in a single, natural conversation. Available 24/7 across all providers and locations.
- **AI Voice Agents for Payor Calls**: Automates benefits verification, eligibility checks, claims status inquiries, and prior authorizations by calling payers directly, navigating IVR trees, waiting on hold, and speaking with live representatives.

- **Deep EHR integration**: 80+ out-of-the-box integrations with read/write capabilities — "built into your practice, not bolted onto it."
- **Payor call capability**: When APIs fail, Prosper AI agents call the payer directly, navigating IVR and speaking with live reps — a critical moat in healthcare RCM.
- **Enterprise readiness**: HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 Type II compliant, 99.99% uptime, on-premise or cloud deployment, dedicated AI Strategist for onboarding.
- **Founding team pedigree**: Founders from MIT and Harvard with operational experience in healthcare call centers and insurance.

## Strategic Focus
