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. These systems play a critical role in ensuring timely collateral allocation, regulatory compliance, operational accuracy, and efficient use of firm assets. You will be working on essential applications that source and integrate data from multiple internal and external systems, translate it into a unified domain model, drive real‑time and end‑of‑day collateral calculations, and provide downstream services and reporting that support key business processes.
We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer who can design, build, and enhance complex applications that process large‑volume financial data multiple times a day. 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.”
What You Are Good At

- 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.

- A Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree in computer science or related field.
- 4+ years of hands‑on Java development (writing and reviewing production code).
- Experience with full stack application development technologies using Java 17, Spring Framework, Angular, REST Web Services, JSON/XML and Relational (T-SQL/PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases including data warehouses.
- 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.
- Experience integrating AI tools into development workflows.
- Understanding of distributed systems, messaging, and integration patterns (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
- CI/CD pipeline experience using Bamboo, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
- Experience across the full SDLC using Agile or Scaled Agile methodologies.
- Strong communication, analytical thinking, and problem‑solving abilities.
- Knowledge of secure coding practices, performance optimization, and system resiliency.
