Working at Oportun: Join our dynamic team and make an impact

Every day is an opportunity to put our mission-driven, technology-powered solutions to work by lending a hand to people who are typically shut out of the financial mainstream. We even won the FinTech Breakthrough Award for best consumer lending product and have been recognized for our role inventing the future as one of Time magazine’s Genius Companies. We count ourselves lucky to work within a diverse community of interesting, intelligent, and insatiably curious people who arrive at Oportun with expertise in a variety of backgrounds.

And we’re proud that our team loves showing up to work every day. We’ve been named a best place to work in the San Francisco Bay Area for three years running and by American Banker as a Best Fintech to Work For in 2018.

Gaurav Rana, SVP, Data & Analytics: Oportun is more than just a company. It’s really a cause. Working at Oportun, to serve nearly 100 million customers who have little to no credit history is, for me, the privilege of a lifetime.

Maria Barajas, Senior QA Engineer: Working here for me is a blessing because I see my story in the customers.

Alejandro Betancourt, District Manager: The stories that we hear range from the simple, “I just want to build credit,” to heartbreaking stories of people who really need our help.

Tuan Nguyen, Director, Retail Store Development: It’s something that touches my heart—to be able to give back—by helping so many people without a credit score establish their credit score. It gives them an opportunity to really establish the American dream.

Karuna Kandagatla, Staff Engineer: Everybody respects everybody. You’re working with the people you actually like, and you treat them like they’re actually your family members. It’s definitely a unique feature here.

Tuan Nguyen, Director, Retail Store Development: One of the great benefits of working at Oportun is just a lot of flexibility. The importance of having a great work-life balance here has been stressed so much.

David Needham, Chief Technology Officer: And it’s the silly things, in terms of how we make each other laugh, to our happy hours, to just the relationships that we’ve been able to build with each other over time.

Sarah Livnat, VP, Communications & Impact: I feel like every day I step into work, I am here with like-minded people who really want to make a difference. And it’s very energizing.

Maria Barajas, Senior QA Engineer: Everyone who comes to this company doesn’t come to us only to work, they come to be a community, to be a family here, so we can have the same values. It’s a great place to be.
