Your mission

About StockStory


Index.dev is partnering with StockStory (CNBC / VERSANT) to hire a Senior AI Engineer in Prague.


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, now part of CNBC under VERSANT, is building the next generation of AI-powered equity research for individual investors. This is a chance to help build the platform behind products that can shape how millions of CNBC readers understand markets and make investing decisions.


We offer the best parts of a startup environment — small team, high ownership, fast execution, and room to build with real autonomy — with the backing and stability of VERSANT, an independent publicly traded media company.


You will be joining a team of exceptional engineers, analysts, and investors at a pivotal stage of growth. This is a rare opportunity to help transform a startup system into a mature, rock-solid platform: shaping how we scale for significantly higher data volumes, a larger engineering organization, and broader product reach. You will own foundational decisions across cloud infrastructure, security, observability, and developer experience, while improving the reliability and resilience of systems already serving real users.


The Role


We're looking for a highly capable Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our team to build the next generation of AI-powered equity research.


This role is for engineers who enjoy building and operating the infrastructure foundations behind demanding product, data, and machine learning workloads. It is especially well suited to people who want to own meaningful infrastructure domains, lead complex technical initiatives, and help ensure the systems that power product and AI experiences remain reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-efficient.


You will design, build, and operate core infrastructure systems that support our products: containerized platforms, distributed services, deployment and runtime environments, and the systems that enable ML training, batch processing, and low-latency inference. Your work will directly shape the quality and resilience of the engineering platform used across the company.


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 platform, engineering, and infrastructure decisions while working closely with application, ML, and leadership teams 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.

About us

Index is a UK-based company providing end-to-end remote-work services, powered by our digital platform. We help leading companies like GoEuro, Vodafone, Venly, YC startups, and 100 more companies to scale their engineering team by finding and managing high-performing tech talent.

The company was founded 2019 and headquartered in London. We unite top engineering talent from around the world and connect them with innovative companies seeking high-performing teams.

It was co-founded by an Oxford alumnus and tech executive with a track record of building successful global teams and scaling output rapidly.

Why Join Index.dev

We are officially recognized by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies: in 2024 we ranked 29th overall and 6th in IT & Software among the FT 1000.

We scale faster than market average — enabling us to offer frequent, meaningful opportunities for those who perform.

From Talent Marketplace to Full-Service Software Powerhouse

In October 2025 we completed the acquisition of Codemotion — a seasoned, U.S.-based custom software development company with a 60+ strong engineering team, decades of enterprise-project experience, and clients such as NASA, Neom, and MongoDB.

This strategic move transforms us from a talent-matching platform into a full-fledged software delivery partner: end-to-end solutions, from MVP to production, including CTO-level leadership, project management, design, QA, and scalable engineering teams.

As a result — along with helping hire developers, we’re delivering entire products and complex systems. We now serve clients in 180+ countries, offering broad timezone overlap, flexible staffing models, and a diversity of technical skills and cultural backgrounds.

Our growth trajectory ensures that high-performers don’t just onboard — they accelerate. With access to enterprise-level clients, cross-functional teams, and varied domains (FinTech, Blockchain, Healthcare, AI), talent can grow in ways rarely possible in traditional setups.

Our Vision & Mission: Where We’re Going Next

We are growing fast and have the vision of building the leading software development company in the world.
We believe that remote-first, globally distributed engineering teams are the future.


Our goals include:

1. Expand into a full end-to-end software delivery partner — delivering complete engineering solutions, from CTO-level leadership to full product development.
2. Attract and serve enterprise-level clients — by strengthening delivery quality, project reliability, and compliance to handle complex, high-stakes projects.
3. Deliver speed, quality, and flexibility at scale — ensuring clients get vetted, ready-to-interview talent and high-performing teams with exceptional turnaround time.
4. Sustain rapid, high-quality growth — continuing our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech companies while preserving performance, culture, and delivery excellence.


Giving back is part of our DNA. We donate around 10% of the revenue to support vulnerable groups — including children, women, refugees — and invests in education programs for young students and future IT professionals.

If you’re motivated by scale, impact, complex projects, and global collaboration, Index.dev is the kind of place where your efforts will be amplified.
