- ## About ProSights
ProSights is a data transformation partner to the largest private equity-backed portfolio companies. We help them solve their biggest data ingestion and migration problems: unifying messy data after M&A, turning documents into clean structured data, replacing spreadsheet workflows with real software, and keeping CRM and financial data in sync across 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 top 20 funds are already customers. We work with the investment firms themselves and the portfolio companies they own, which gives us a direct line into hundreds of companies.
## What you would build
* Custom apps, data pipelines, integrations, and AI agents, pointed at the problems every portfolio company has:
* **Post-M&A data migration.** Unify messy contract, customer, and financial data after an acquisition into one source of truth.
* **Document & 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 & CRM operations.** Clean pipeline data, automate renewals and pricing, and keep customer records in sync across systems.
* **System integration & AI agents.** Pipe clean data into the ERP, CRM, and warehouse, and stand up agents that handle the repetitive work.
### **What the job is actually like**
* **Embed with a portfolio company.** Sit with the people doing the work, learn how the business runs, and find the problem worth solving.
* **Prototype fast.** Get to a working prototype in 48 hours, not a slide deck.
* **Ship to production.** Take it from prototype to live software in about four weeks, running on their real data.
* **Own the outcome.** Stay on the hook until it works and creates value, then hand over software the company owns.
* **Move across the portfolio.** Carry what you build from one company to the next so each engagement is faster than the last.
* **Be the face of ProSights on site.** Work directly with founders, operators, and PE deal and value-creation teams.
## Who you are
* **Experienced builder.** 4+ years building and shipping production software, with real ownership of outcomes.
* **Strong and fast.** Python, SQL, APIs, and data pipelines; comfortable building with LLMs (RAG, evals, prompting, 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, talk to operators and executives, and decide what is worth building.
* **High agency.** You go onsite, navigate a messy company, and make things work without waiting for a spec.
* **NYC-based** and happy to travel to customer sites.
We sponsor any and all visas necessary for work.
