Why Prizeout

At Prizeout, we're redefining how people engage with their money through smarter, data-driven rewards. We're looking for curious, analytical builders who love turning complex, messy data into meaningful insights that drive loyalty and better financial outcomes. We keep the user at the center of every decision and we value humility, curiosity, and ownership.

About This Role

As a Data Engineer at Prizeout, you'll own the data that powers CashBack+ and our credit union rewards ecosystem. Managing the end-to-end lifecycle of financial institution data, you'll ensure every transaction is accurate, every action is recognized, and every reward is delivered on time. Working with core banking systems, card networks, and digital event data, you'll turn complex, messy inputs into clean, reliable signals that drive real-time insights and loyalty programs.


What You'll Do

• Own and manage the full lifecycle of credit union core and card data pipelines
• Build and maintain scalable pipelines that clean, standardize, enrich, and classify transactional and behavioral data
• Translate raw transactions into meaningful insights using classification models (direct deposits, ACH events, MCC logic, etc.)
• Develop and maintain automated validation and monitoring systems
• Create and manage high-quality dashboards and reporting tools for credit unions and internal teams
• Collaborate with Product, Data Science, Operations, and Integrations teams to refine data models and onboarding processes
• Continuously improve data models, infrastructure, and internal tools
• Stay current on fintech data architecture trends and emerging technologies to guide ongoing platform evolution

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years experience in software/data engineering, ideally in microservice or event-driven architecture
• Advanced SQL and database design skills
• Experience with cloud environments and distributed systems
• Experience with financial/transaction data pipelines or interest in learning deeply
• Familiarity with Snowflake or similar data warehouse tools (preferred)
• Bias for action and comfort working with ambiguity
• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative, mission-driven team
• Clear communicator who brings clarity, not complexity
• Scrappy, resilient, and energized by building things that work in the real world at scale
• Preference for candidates located in New York or Boston
