Define your career in tech
On the OppLoans tech team, we build innovative systems that create new financial products and enable a five-star customer experience. Our team members approach every new challenge with an unparalleled ability to see what could be rather than settle for what is — and are granted the autonomy to own their ideas.
Meet the Opptimists
OppLoans employees prioritize collaboration, honesty, and letting the best ideas win the day. That’s why we call ourselves Opptimists.

We value developers
At OppLoans, we give our engineers the right tools and processes to succeed. That support starts with providing modern tools and top-of-the-line hardware, but the most important thing we give our tech team members is autonomy. Teams can choose their own tools and build the processes that work best for them. We put new software into production multiple times a day. If you’re tired of writing great code and then watching it languish in the pipeline for months, drop us an email.
You can make an impact
When we look for talent, we look beyond languages and prior experience. Our tech is a web of interconnected systems — both internal and external — that allow the business to function smoothly, safely, and efficiently. We code in a variety of different languages — including Ruby on Rails, Clojure, and Salesforce. We want tech talent that understands the broader business context, that can put themselves in our customers’ shoes and deliver the best products and solutions they need to build a better financial path.
We prize diversity and inclusion
At OppLoans, we cultivate an inclusive culture where employees are encouraged to be their best selves. Through our Oppt for Tech Diversity meetup series, we provide inclusive networking opportunities for all members of the Chicago tech community regardless of race, gender, or identity. Our tech team also includes members from both traditional CS backgrounds and more non-traditional backgrounds, including PhDs in bio-medicine and astrophysics, a clarinet major, and a former member of our Loan Advocate team. We believe in letting our best ideas win — and a more diverse, inclusive workplace enables great ideas to thrive.
You can develop your career
As a member of the Chicago tech community and sponsor of the Illinois Technology Association, we understand the importance of industry representation and professional development. Most of our engineers attend at least one conference per year, and several of our teams hold weekly internal seminars on subjects like Clojure and Kubernetes. Our Chief Technology Officer, Andy Pruitt, is a long-time member of the Chicago tech scene and frequently speaks at panels and events around the city. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills and broaden your network within Chicago tech, we’re the spot for you.
