Your OpportunityAt 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."
