Full Job Description
About Versant VERSANT is an independent, publicly traded company that brings together powerhouse brands such as CNBC, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Golf Channel along with dynamic digital and direct-to-consumer brands such as Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, GolfPass, and SportsEngine. StockStory, a newly acquired part of CNBC, is building the next generation of AI-powered equity research for individual investors. We continue operating like a startup: small team, high ownership, fast decisions, direct access to leadership, and a culture focused on building rather than managing. At the same time, we have the backing of a large, well-capitalized public company with iconic brands, meaningful free cash flow, and a long-term commitment to investing in data, technology, and our team. That means the upside of a fast-paced builder environment without the fragility and resource constraints of a typical early-stage startup.

It is especially well suited to people who want to future-proof their investing career by learning how great equity analysis gets translated into software, models, and AI-enabled products. You will build and operate core components of our AI equity research engine: LLM workflows that convert unstructured information into structured signals, and factor models that t
