This role is hybrid, 3 days in office. This role is for engineers who enjoy turning LLM and agentic AI capabilities into reliable product systems embedded in real-world workflows. It is especially well suited to people who want to work hands-on across architecture, implementation, and operations while helping define how AI capabilities get integrated into products used by individual investors. You will be joining a team of exceptional engineers, analysts, and investors working at the intersection of AI and public markets. A particularly rare part of this role is the level of direct access to experienced market professionals, including former hedge fund managers and top-tier analysts, whose insights can directly inform how you think about modeling, signals, and product design. For an ambitious AI engineer, it is an unusual opportunity to work with cutting-edge LLMs and advanced data systems while learning firsthand how sophisticated investors analyze businesses and markets. You will design, build, and operate core components of our AI platform: distributed agentic workflows, retrieval and reranking systems, model integrations, and the infrastructure required to make these systems reliable, observable, and scalable in production. This role sits within a small and growing, high-caliber team where individuals are expected to operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy, contributing directly to core product, engineering, and AI systems decisions while working closely with peers, product stakeholders, and senior leadership in a highly collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment with direct access to decision-makers. A genuine interest in investing, public markets, and fundamental business analysis is expected., * Build end-to-end distributed agentic AI solutions that are reliable and scalable * Own complex features or subsystems from design through deployment and operation * Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI capabilities into products and data pipelines * Contribute to architectural decisions and technical standards for AI systems * Maintain observability and operational health, including cost metrics, quality monitoring, drift detection, alignment, alerting, and incident response * Support the team's overall technical growth * Identify and mitigate risks in AI systems, including performance regressions, bias, and operational issues * Use and improve model lifecycle management, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks Location: At CNBC Headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, you'll have access to great perks and amenities: * Sweat it out -- Free onsite fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, plus daily group classes * Eat up -- Gourmet cafeteria with daily specials plus soup and salad bars * Extras -- Dry cleaning, shoe shining and sneak peeks * Don't have a car? No problem! We offer free shuttle transportation to and from multiple locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City In addition to these benefits, employees in this group will be joining at a time of meaningful and continued investment in data, technology, and product development, with the opportunity to contribute to a growing team within CNBC that is expected to scale significantly over time, offering meaningful exposure to senior leadership and the ability to influence how the platform evolves., VERSANT Media is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices.
