Build the Technology Changing the World
Vanguard's mission is to give every investor the best chance for investment success. Advice is the most direct expression of that mission—the moment where our purpose meets a client's real life, real goals, and real decisions. Client Assist, Vanguard's first AI advisor, is how we scale that promise to every client we serve. What we build now will define how we connect with our clients, how Vanguard grows, and becomes synonymous with Advice.
Come work with us to build the AI Platform of the future. You will work with AWS Bedrock for model inference, LangGraph for agentic orchestration, and Gemini in a multi-model mix. You will implement RAG and agent memory so Client Assist learns and grows with every client, utilize MCP (Model Context Protocol) to unlock tools, data, and actions, and leverage Arize + Evals to ship with confidence. You will help reimagine novel interaction patterns for how humans and AI collaborate.
To succeed here, you must be hands-on, always learning, and willing to lead at the frontier.
