Forward-deployed AI engineering

We embed AI engineers inside your team — and ship production systems in weeks, not quarters.

Alpha Proxima places senior engineers directly into your workflows to design, build, and ship AI systems that actually reach production. No decks. No 6-month roadmaps. Working software, fast.

The problem

Most AI pilots never make it to production.

Teams spend months on strategy decks and proofs of concept that stall before they touch a real workflow. The gap isn't ambition — it's the hands-on engineering needed to take AI from demo to dependable.

That's the gap we close.

What we do

Forward-deployed engineering, not slideware.

Forward-Deployed Engineering

We place senior engineers inside your team to build and ship — integrated with your stack, your data, your workflows, not a separate vendor track.

Custom Model Development

Fine-tuning, evaluation frameworks, and RAG pipelines built for your specific domain and data — not generic wrappers around a foundation model.

Agentic Systems

We design and deploy autonomous and semi-autonomous agents for real operational workflows, with the guardrails and monitoring production systems require.

AI Strategy & Audit

A scoped, time-boxed engagement that ends with a concrete build plan — not a 40-slide deck that sits unread.

Proof

Recent work

Series B logistics platform

Problem
Manual dispatch routing bottlenecked ops during peak hours.
What we built
Embedded engineers shipped an agentic routing system integrated with their dispatch stack.

Result

38% faster dispatch decisions

Fintech compliance team

Problem
Analysts drowning in unstructured KYC documents.
What we built
Domain-tuned RAG pipeline with evaluation harness and human-in-the-loop review.

Result

6× throughput per analyst

Healthcare SaaS

Problem
Legacy support workflow with 4-hour first response times.
What we built
Production agent framework with guardrails, observability, and escalation paths.

Result

72% reduction in response time

How we work

Three phases. One team, working alongside yours.

01

Scope

Week 1

We map your systems, data, and constraints, and agree on a concrete pilot with a clear success metric.

02

Build

Weeks 2–4

Our engineers embed with your team and ship a working system — not a prototype that dies in a repo.

03

Scale

Ongoing

We iterate alongside your team, monitor performance, and expand scope as results prove out.
