About the role

  • We're looking for a full-time AI Engineer to help shape and execute Fanatics' AI strategy across the company.
  • This is not an "ideate and hand off" role.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with business stakeholders across Fanatics to identify, prioritize, and deliver on AI automation opportunities that meaningfully move the business.
  • Design, build, and deploy custom agents and agentic workflows using frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and the modern agent stack (MCP servers, agent SDKs, orchestration tools, computer use / browser automation, evals).
  • Take ideas from concept to production: scope the problem, design the solution, build the prototype, run evals, and drive adoption.
  • Bring your own ideas. This role rewards creativity and judgment as much as execution.
  • Hands-on experience building with frontier LLMs, including designing and shipping custom agents or agentic workflows that solve real business problems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. Explaining your AI work clearly is just as important as building it.
  • Explaining your AI work clearly is just as important as building it.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with the modern AI stack: LLM APIs, MCP, agent frameworks (Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar), prompt engineering, RAG, and evaluation methods.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Software Engineering, or a closely related field preferred.
  • Comfort working in code (Python preferred) and a willingness to learn whatever the right tool for the job turns out to be.

Skills

  • which tools to invest in, which workflows to prioritize, and how to measure impact across functions.

Compensation

  • $90,000 - $95,000 USD

Benefits

  • Bonus points if you're a fan of sports, collectibles, or fandom culture (because we're a little obsessed).
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Generous paid time off, paid holidays, and parental leave.
  • Wellness benefits and a learning & development stipend.
