VanEck · New York, NY · 3 wk ago
HybridFinance$150k–$200k/yrFull-time

About the role

We run a concentrated, thesis-driven fund investing at the convergence of AI, technology, and blockchains. We're wrapper-agnostic with exposure spanning equities, convertible bonds, and tokens. We're hiring an analyst who underwrites like a private equity investor and builds as an engineer.

Responsibilities

  • Own deep fundamental research on single names across tech, internet, semis, payments/fintech, and blockchain-linked companies
  • Build the full underwrite: operating models, scenario analysis, and valuation you can defend
  • Turn convergence catalysts into explicit model inputs, not narrative
  • Build and maintain the team's AI research stack — agents, data pipelines, automated monitoring
  • Engage management teams, founders, other fund managers and developers across both ecosystems

Requirements

  • 4–8 years across investment banking (M&A) and private equity, growth equity, or fundamental public investing at a top firm
  • Owner's mindset: you've built models from unit economics up and defended them
  • Genuine conviction at the AI × blockchain intersection
  • BS/BA in finance, economics, or business; strong quantitative foundation
  • Ability to work in office a minimum of 4 days a week

Qualifications

  • The AI-native Edge LLMs are infrastructure in your workflow, not a search box
  • You've built with frontier-model APIs; agents, tool/MCP integrations, retrieval pipelines, coding-assistant projects
  • Working Python and SQL; fluency with on-chain and alternative data
  • You know where models fail and verify accordingly

Skills

  • Experience in investment banking, private equity, or fundamental public investing
  • Strong quantitative skills and ability to build and defend models
  • Knowledge of AI and blockchain technologies
  • Fluency in Python and SQL
  • Experience with on-chain and alternative data
