Build the Future of AI Consulting

In the 1960s and '70s, joining Bain or BCG meant becoming part of a revolution—reshaping how the world’s top organizations made decisions. Today, Tailored AI offers you the same opportunity—this time, at the forefront of AI.

About Us

Tailored AI is a premium AI consultancy solving the toughest problems that businesses face in the age of intelligent systems. Founded by IIT Bombay and IIM Ahmedabad alumni, our mission is simple: to bring the immense power of AI into production in the real world—fast, securely, and at scale.

We’re not your typical IT consultancy. We're a new breed—elite, hands-on, and obsessed with real-world outcomes. Think of us as Bain or BCG for the AI era. We’ve assembled a world-class team of engineers and product minds from institutions like IIT Bombay, IIIT Hyderabad, IIM Ahmedabad, and companies like Amazon, Samsung, Trexquant, and high-growth startups. Together, we partner with organizations to rethink entire workflows, build transformative AI systems, and bring them to production in record time.

Where We’re Headed

AI is not just changing technology. It’s transforming how entire industries operate. Yet, very few people in the world know what it takes to build production-grade, privacy-compliant, robust AI systems. We are among those few—and we’re building the future.

We’re early—but growing fast. And just like the founding teams at BCG or McKinsey back in the day, the people who join us now won’t just shape their careers—they’ll shape the DNA of a firm that could define the next decade of enterprise AI.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a builder. A thinker. Someone who thrives in ambiguity, leads without waiting for permission, and gets excited about solving hard, high-stakes problems. You’ve built systems that ship. You care about quality and impact. And above all, you want to work with people who take pride in being the best at what they do.

You’re not just looking for a job—you’re looking for a mission.

What You'll Do

As a Senior SDE at Tailored AI, you will:

• Lead and deliver across 3–4 high-impact product tracks.
• Own the architecture and execution of a core track—hands-on.
• Mentor bright engineers from top schools and top firms.
• Guide system design, best practices, and execution strategy.
• Communicate directly with clients (who are Founders and Executives)
• Ship real AI products, across industries, that create 10x value.

And you'll do all this while learning how to run and scale cutting-edge AI systems, working shoulder-to-shoulder with one of the most capable engineering teams in India.

What’s In It For You

• Career acceleration: Direct mentorship from founders, early access to leadership roles, and exposure to multi-industry use cases.
• Equity and ownership: High performers move fast and grow into partners early.
• Elite engineering culture: Solve real problems with elite teammates who care deeply about craft.
• Real-world impact: You won’t just write code—you’ll ship AI systems that transform how people work.
• Alumni trajectory: Whether you grow here or move on, you'll be primed for CTO, AI Lead, or Founder roles at the next generation of global companies.

What You’ll Work On

Here’s a glimpse of the kinds of problems our team is solving right now:

• AI Freight Broker: A Gen AI-powered freight broker that captures demand and supply information, autonomously matches supply to demand, and fixes rates.
• Legal Copilot: Helping Indian lawyers access case law, insights, and documents via intelligent retrieval and summarization tools.
• AI Career Coach: A multi-agent platform that recommends careers, finds jobs, rewrites resumes, and preps users for interviews—all in one chat interface.
