Your Opportunity

At Schwab, the Collateral Management Technology team is responsible for engineering the platforms that support the firm’s enterprise‑wide collateral operations, optimization workflows, exposure management, and tri‑party interactions.

You will contribute to the modernization of our collateral platforms through cloud‑ready architecture, microservice design, strong engineering practices, and CI/CD automation. You’ll work within a collaborative, high‑energy team of engineers, architects, and SMEs committed to continuous improvement and to delivering scalable, resilient technology that supports the firm’s mission to see the world “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

  • Interpreting complex user and business requirements and clearly communicating technical objectives, constraints, and solution options to partners and stakeholders.
  • Contributing to medium‑to‑large scale engineering efforts with meaningful complexity, including multi‑service integrations, data workflows, and cloud‑ready components.
  • Positively influencing your team, supporting design sessions, mentoring junior engineers, and reinforcing strong engineering practices across the development lifecycle.
  • Designing and implementing RESTful services, APIs, microservices, and web‑based applications with clean, maintainable, and testable code.
  • Embedding quality throughout the SDLC, leveraging unit tests, integration tests, automated validation, and end‑to‑end QA automation.
  • Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, Maven/Gradle, Bamboo, Sonar, Veracode, Code QL, Blackduck or equivalent tools—supporting secure, automated, and consistent deployments.
  • Collaborating effectively with Tech Leads, Business SMEs, Product Owners, and BSAs to clarify requirements, align on priorities, and deepen shared system knowledge.
  • Troubleshooting production and intra‑day processing issues quickly, partnering with Production Support to ensure availability, data accuracy, and timely completion of critical collateral cycles.
What you have

  • A strong knowledge of cloud technologies including cloud-ready architecture best practices. Experience with GCP/BigQuery would be preferred.
  • Understanding of AuthN/AuthZ, Cert-based, Token-based and mTLS/ SSL mechanisms.
