Full Job Description
Your Opportunity

CCAT is a key tower in Schwab Broker-Dealer Service Engineering. We build the Schwab Customer Identifier (SCID) — the unified identity layer that resolves the same client across Schwab affiliates and powers a true 360° view of every customer across all lines of business. As an Engineer on CCAT, you'll build and ship features that touch every Schwab client.We're specifically seeking engineers shaped by product-engineering environments, product companies, or in-house engineering orgs — where you owned what you built, not just delivered against a ticket. The bar at CCAT is high ownership and accountability: you treat the product as yours, you stay with what you ship, and you're measured by the outcome — not by the handoff.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, making sound decisions in fast-moving environments, and using AI-enabled development practices to improve productivity and code quality. You will use tools such as GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate development while maintaining ownership for reviewing, testing, validating, and releasing high-quality code. Your work will help modernize legacy processes, improve platform performance, reduce risk, and support consistent delivery across critical business applications.
