AI Forward Deployed Engineer Job New York New York USA,Software Development

Prosights is a data transformation partner to the largest private equity-backed portfolio companies. We unify messy data after M&A, turn documents into clean structured data, replace spreadsheet workflows with real software, and keep data in sync across disparate systems. We embed engineers inside the company, ship a working prototype in 48 hours, and have production software live in about four weeks.

More than 70% of the 10 largest PE firms have used Pro Sights.

What you would build

Post-M&A data migration. Unify messy contract, customer, and financial data after an acquisition into one source of truth.

Document and data pipelines. Turn documents and systems of record into structured, cited output that downstream teams can trust.

Custom operational apps. Replace paper, binder, and spreadsheet workflows with software the team actually runs on.

Revenue and CRM operations. Clean pipeline data, automate renewals and pricing, and keep customer records in sync.

System integrations and AI agents. Pipe clean data into the ERP, CRM, and warehouse, then automate repetitive work.

What the job is actually like

Embed with a portfolio company and find the problem worth solving.

Get to a working prototype in 48 hours, then take it to production in about four weeks.

Stay accountable until the software works, creates value, and is owned by the customer.

Work directly with founders, operators, and PE deal and value-creation teams.

Carry proven patterns from one portfolio company to the next.

Who you are

Experienced builder. 4+ years shipping production software with real ownership of outcomes.

Strong and fast. Python, SQL, APIs, and data pipelines; comfortable with LLMs, RAG, evals, prompting, and agents.

Full-stack enough to ship. You can put a usable app in front of a non-technical team, not just a backend.

Strong judgment. You can diagnose an ambiguous business problem and decide what is worth building.

High agency. You are NYC-based, happy to travel, and comfortable making progress without a spec.

About the interview

Three to four conversations with the founders and team, followed by a paid work trial on a real Pro Sights problem. We use the trial as mutual diligence on how you diagnose, scope, and build with minimal instructions. You will also meet the team over dinner, lunch, or coffee. For the right person, we can move from first call to decision in about a week.
