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, FactSet, 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.

  • Shape AI-driven investment intelligence by embedding LLMs, ML, and generative AI directly into research, analytics, and advisor workflows.
  • Own a high-impact product roadmap at the intersection of quantitative finance and AI, with direct influence over revenue-generating capabilities.
  • Work hands-on in Python alongside engineering to build scalable, production-grade investment systems on a cutting-edge digital wealth platform.

WHO YOU ARE:

  • MS/PhD in a quantitative discipline (Financial Mathematics, Statistics, CS, Engineering, or similar)
  • 5–10+ years in quantitative investment research, portfolio optimization, or investment product development
  • Proven ability to bridge quant research and production platform implementation
  • Strong Python skills; hands-on coder comfortable working alongside engineering
  • Deep expertise in quant strategy development — portfolio optimization, risk/factor modeling, and statistical/predictive modeling
  • Practical experience applying modern AI/ML (transformers, LLMs, NLP, embeddings) to production investment workflows, including agentic pipelines

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PACKAGE:

$150,000 - $225,000 USD, commensurate with experience.

Relocation assistance is available for candidates currently outside of the Boulder area.
