Equity Research /Financial Data Analyst, AI Platform
About The Position
VERSANT is seeking a highly driven and intellectually curious equity and financial data analyst to join their team to build a new generation of AI-powered equity research.

The analyst will oversee the data ingestion and transformation behind the AI equity research engine, including LLM workflows that convert unstructured information into structured signals, and factor models that turn those signals into consistent, scalable outputs for individual investors. This role is part of a small, growing, high-caliber team where individuals are expected to operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy, supporting core research, product, and modeling decisions. The position involves close collaboration with both the equity research and engineering teams in a highly collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment with direct access to decision-makers.
