Job Description

Cantor Fitzgerald is creating a dedicated AI function within its Investment Banking division. Reporting to the Head of AI, you will design, prototype, and launch AI‑driven applications that streamline pitch preparation, comparable analysis, diligence summarization, and market surveillance. This role blends deep investment‑banking knowledge with hands‑on AI engineering to deliver production‑grade tools that enhance banker productivity and client outcomes.

  • 2+ years of experience in investment banking, corporate finance, equity research, or a closely related financial‑services role.
  • Hands‑on experience building and deploying LLM‑based applications beyond tutorials, including context pipelines and evaluation frameworks.
  • Full‑stack prototyping skills: data integration, back‑end logic, and user‑interface development; proficient in at least one programming language (Python, JavaScript, etc.).
  • Familiarity with financial data APIs and platforms such as Bloomberg, PitchBook, FactSet, and SEC EDGAR.
  • Strong understanding of IB deal processes: pitch construction, financial modeling, CIM/OM preparation, and capital‑markets execution.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously, define problems, and drive solutions from concept to production.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to translate technical concepts for senior bankers and business context for engineers.
  • Experience navigating compliance, data‑privacy, and regulatory requirements in a financial‑services environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, computer science, engineering, or a quantitative discipline; advanced degree a plus.
  • Ownership mindset and judgment in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments.

Salary: $130,000 - $170,000 + Discretionary Bonus
