At Schwab, you are empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together. The AI Strategy and Transformation (AI.x) team at Schwab is where cutting-edge ideas come to life. Our mission is to develop new and novel generative AI applications that transform the way Schwab serves its clients, enhancing experiences and driving value across the organization. We don't just solve today's challenges, we anticipate tomorrow's opportunities, pioneering solutions that position Schwab as a leader in financial services innovation. We are looking for a technical, hands-on Applied AI Scientist to join the GenAI Lab in the AI.x team. This team is responsible for creating innovative AI solutions, selecting AI models and prompts, implementing quantitative evaluations of models and prompts, and experimenting with the latest AI tools. We have a short-to-medium term time horizon, so in this role you will not only be experimenting with models, tools and multi-agent systems, but also applying them to tangible business goals. You have a bias to action and can context switch between different research projects. You will work directly with the engineering team: not only mentoring them on the latest in AI but also creating solutions and writing code that can go all the way into production. You are confident in your traditional data science and coding skills and have also leveled up by applying the latest AI tools. You want to build fast but also know how to reduce risk and work in a regulated environment, upholding the trust that our clients give us.
