## Description

At Schwab, you're 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. We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location(s).

As an AI Researcher within Schwab's Artificial Intelligence Strategy & Transformation (AI.x) organization, you'll operate at the intersection of advanced applied research and production-grade AI systems that support millions of investors, advisors, and employees. This role is designed for researchers who want their work to ship, scale, and deliver measurable impact in real environments-where latency, reliability, cost, and regulatory considerations matter as much as model performance.

In this role, you'll take ideas from early problem formulation through modeling, evaluation, deployment, and iteration, contributing directly to LLM and Agentic-based systems used across the enterprise. Your work will include designing and operating large-language-model-based and agent-driven systems, establishing robust evaluation and monitoring practices, and improving performance under real-world constraints. You'll collaborate closely with platform engineers, product partners, and risk stakeholders to ensure solutions are accurate, observable, safe, and reliable in a regulated financial services environment.
