Job description

About Morningstar
Morningstar's mission is to empower investor success. The Direct Platform team does this by creating products that help financial professionals, and the investors they serve, achieve their financial goals. The Morningstar Direct Platform team is one of the largest business units that strive to give clients access to the data, analytics, and tools that help financial professionals be more efficient, innovative, and connect with their clients in a more meaningful way.
This role is based in our Chicago office, and we follow a hybrid policy of 4 days onsite. Morningstar's hybrid work environment gives you the opportunity to collaborate in-person each week as we've found that we're at our best when we're purposely together on a regular basis.
Role Overview
We are seeking Forward-Deployed AI Engineers to rapidly prototype AI solutions in real-world advisor workflows. This role is embedded in our discovery team, working alongside Product Managers, UX designers, and researchers to translate ideas into functioning prototypes.
Success is measured by speed, feasibility validation, and actionable prototypes that can move downstream.
What Success Looks Like:
  • Prototypes validate advisor workflows quickly and reliably
  • Downstream production engineers can operationalize prototypes with minimal friction
  • Team moves from idea → evidence → validated workflow efficiently
  • Experiments reduce risk and uncertainty for AI product decisions

Why This Role Matters
Product minded forward-deployed engineers collapse the gap between concept and reality, enabling the team to make fast, evidence-based product decisions while reducing wasted effort downstream.
Key Responsibilities
  • Build and iterate AI prototypes for advisor workflows
  • Integrate signals, models, and UX designs into working experiments
  • Test feasibility and performance of AI behaviors in real workflow scenarios
  • Collaborate closely with PMs, UX designers, and Research & Signals Lead
  • Capture technical learnings and provide handoff documentation for production teams
  • Rapidly validate ideas before long-term engineering investment

Required Skills
  • AI prototyping - Ability to build working AI systems quickly
  • Data integration - Connect signals, APIs, and datasets for prototypes
  • Collaboration in cross-functional teams - Work side-by-side with PMs, UX, and researchers
  • Experimentation and iteration - Rapidly test and refine ideas with user feedback
  • Technical documentation - Clearly communicate prototype behavior and limitations

Qualifications
  • 3-5 years of AI engineering experience
  • Expert user of AI Coding tools like Claude Code and/or Cursor
  • Expertise with Python, LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI frameworks
  • Ability to rapidly prototype with limited infrastructure
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Total Cash Compensation Range
$145,170-182,820 USD Annual
Inclusive of annual base salary and target incentive
