At Schwab, you're empowered to make an impact on your career and the financial industry. Here, innovative thinking meets creative problem solving as we challenge the status quo together. We believe in the power of collaboration and value being together in the office, which is why this role is based on-site in our San Francisco office. Joining Schwab means joining a company committed to transforming the financial industry and putting clients at the center of everything we do.
Schwab's AI Strategy & Transformation team, known as AI.x, is the central hub for Artificial Intelligence at Schwab. We are an integrated product, engineering, strategy and risk team, all based in San Francisco. We help set the enterprise vision for AI, invest in the most promising opportunities, and accelerate delivery across the company. We also build the research platform that powers AI at scale and explore next-generation GenAI efforts that will redefine how we serve our clients.
As a Sr Responsible AI Researcher, you will bridge the gap between regulation, ethical principles, and technical innovation, shaping how AI is safely and ethically deployed across our products and services. In this highly visible and cross-functional role, you will ensure Schwab's AI systems set industry benchmarks for safety, fairness, and transparency.
You'll work closely with teams across research, engineering, product, legal, compliance, and risk to address complex and emerging challenges in responsible AI. This role offers significant opportunities to innovate—designing and implementing solutions for problems where established best practices may not yet exist—and to help shape the technical and organizational standards that guide Schwab's AI systems. Your work will directly inform executive decision-making, regulatory engagement, and the development of trusted AI products at scale.
