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 a Staff Engineer, you'll set the technical bar for how we build, how we adopt AI in our workflows, and how client-facing capabilities ship.

 

We're specifically seeking engineers shaped by product-engineering environments, product companies, or in-house engineering orgs — where you owned a system, not a statement of work. 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

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery of client-facing functionality from scoping through production rollout.
  • Set technical direction — architecture guidance, unblocking delivery, raising the engineering quality bar.
  • Build hands-on in Java on GCP and PCF; you remain a working engineer.
  • Establish team-level AI-assisted engineering practices — define how the team uses Copilot, Claude Code, agentic and spec-driven workflows; identify gaps and build the solutions to bridge them.
  • Mentor engineers and partner across product, architecture, vendors, and offshore teams.
What you have

Required Quialifications:

 

Education: Bachelor's in Engineering, CS, or related field.

 

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Hands-on with GitHub Copilot and/or Claude Code in IDE/CLI workflows.
  • Working knowledge of agentic and spec-driven development — translating low-level design (class structures, API contracts, data models) into structured specs, with custom instructions and prompt engineering to establish team-level practices.
  • Uses AI for code, tests, reviews, and automation — with clear ownership of correctness.

Core Engineering

  • 10+ yrs: Java, Spring, cloud, REST + SOAP web services in high-volume, highly-available environments.
  • 4–6 yrs: Distributed/NoSQL DBs — PostgreSQL preferred, MongoDB, Yugabyte.
  • 4+ yrs: real-time data and streaming.
  • 4+ yrs: continuous build (Bamboo, Bitbucket/Git).
  • 3+ yrs: GCP and/or AWS/Azure.
  • 3+ yrs: event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, message queues).
  • 2+ yrs: cloud deployment in a CI/CD model.
  • 1+ yr: batch / data pipelines (Spring Batch, PySpark).

Delivery & Collaboration

  • Agile + Atlassian stack (JIRA, Confluence).
  • Drives projects to completion — anticipates risks, proposes creative solutions.
  • Experience working with vendors, offshore teams, and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong interpersonal, analytical, influencing, and conflict-resolution skills; excellent written and verbal communication.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • End-to-end ownership partnering with technical and business experts; develops specs spanning architecture, design, production and test environments; drives POCs to validate new technology choices.
  • Strategic influence: drives data-based decisions, leads high-impact programs, and shapes business unit strategy and resource allocation.
  • Communication & standards: delivers persuasive verbal and written communication that engages diverse audiences; upholds high standards of reliability and subject-matter authority; raises quality benchmarks and establishes new standards of excellence.

 

In addition to the salary range, this role is also eligible for bonus or incentive opportunities.
