Job Description

Your Opportunity

At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us challenge the status quo and transform the finance industry together. We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location(s).

Schwab Technology Services enables the future of how clients manage their money by providing innovative and reliable technology products and services as part of our ongoing commitment to democratize access to investing and financial planning.

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.
