About The Company
TIFIN is an AI platform focused on transforming wealth, asset management, and insurance. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Vinay Nair, TIFIN builds and operates technology that helps firms move from AI experimentation to real deployment. Through TIFIN.AI, the company is developing an agent-based operating layer that sits on top of existing systems, enabling firms to scale client service, distribution, and investment workflows without replacing their core infrastructure. Alongside TIFIN.AI, the platform includes operating companies such as TIFIN @Work, TIFIN AMP, and TIFIN Give, each focused on applying AI and data to specific parts of the wealth ecosystem. These solutions are already live with enterprise clients, with agents in production across key workflows. TIFIN has also incubated and scaled multiple companies, including 55ip (acquired by J.P. Morgan), and continues to build across the ecosystem. The firm is backed by leading investors including J.P. Morgan, Morningstar, Hamilton Lane, Franklin Templeton, Motive Partners, and Broadridge.

About the Role

WHO WE ARE

TIFIN builds the AI operating layer for wealth. Our platform delivers agentic workflows across the industry’s core personas—investors, advisors, investment teams, and operations—so financial institutions can move faster, serve more clients, and deliver better outcomes with the same (or fewer) resources. We combine finance-native AI, specialized data, and enterprise-grade controls to deploy secure, compliant capabilities into real production environments.

WHAT SETS US APART

  • Speed: We build and ship quickly—MVPs in ~3 months, production-ready products in ~6–12 months.
  • Track Record: Prior exits include 55ip (acquired by J.P. Morgan) and Paralel Technologies
  • Strategic Partners: Partners include J.P. Morgan, SEI, Franklin Templeton, Morningstar, Broadridge, Motive Partners and Tectonic Ventures.
  • World-Class Team: Complimentary expertise across AI and financial services, with experience from Google, Microsoft, Uber, PayPal, eBay, BlackRock, LPL, Franklin Templeton, Morgan Stanley, Broadridge and more. 

OUR VALUES

  • Grow at the Edge. We are driven by personal growth fueled by a beginner’s mindset. We get out of our comfort zone and keep egos aside. With self-awareness and integrity we strive to be the best we can possibly be. No excuses.
  • Understanding through Listening and Speaking the Truth. We communicate with authenticity, precision and integrity to create a shared understanding. We identify opportunities within constraints and propose solutions in service to the team.
  • I Win for Teamwin. We believe in staying within our genius zones to succeed and taking accountability for driving results. We are all individual contributors first and always thinking about what can be better.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Join our 2026 summer internship program! Build real-world AI systems and agent workflows used by leading financial institutions—while learning how to ship production-grade AI from day one. You’re paired with an AI Engineering leader and work on a single project for the three months. Top performers are invited to join the team full time! 

PROJECTS

  • Advisor Copilot (Multi-Agent Systems)
    Build a production-grade, multi-agent copilot for financial advisors that retrieves and reasons over client data, analyzes portfolio exposures and risk scenarios, generates personalized insights, enforces compliance guardrails, and drafts client-ready communications — all within a monitored, auditable architecture.
  • Workflow Automation
    Design end-to-end AI workflows spanning client discovery, investment research synthesis, portfolio construction and optimization, and compliant meeting preparation — replacing fragmented tools with intelligent, autonomous systems.
  • AI Agent Platform & Infrastructure
    Architect a scalable multi-agent platform with orchestration engines, memory and state management, dynamic tool invocation, structured output validation, observability, fault tolerance, and automated evaluation — solving reliability, explainability, and regulatory challenges at scale.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • Strong experience with Python
  • Familiarity through former internships, coursework or research with machine learning or AI, APIs, backend development
