Skills
Must have
- 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.

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
