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).

As a Senior Manager, Software Development & Engineering supporting Portfolio Management Technology, you will set the vision and engineering direction for the Balances, Positions & Inquiry (BPI)and Advanced Credit and Risk (ACAR) platforms while leading a critical transformation of how software is built, delivered, and scaled across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of cloud modernization, enterprise data platforms, and emerging GenAI capabilities, with a mandate to modernize engineering practices and accelerate delivery.

You will drive a shift from traditional development approaches to a modern, AI-enabled software development lifecycle, where automation, intelligent workflows, and agentic AI are embedded across design, development, testing, and operations. Success in this role is measured by your ability to increase delivery capacity, improve quality, and simplify legacy systems without requiring proportional headcount growth.

The BPI platforms power real-time financial data and support credit and risk decisions across Schwab. Together, these platforms provide authoritative balances, positions, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and cost-basis data across Schwab client channels (e.g., Schwab.com, SSC.com, and mobile) and business partners (e.g., brokerage accounts, mutual funds, futures, portfolio margin, and fixed income), serving millions of brokerage accounts. Designed for high availability and continuous performance, the platforms use Aerospike-based distributed data capabilities and cloud-native technologies to meet the demands of a retail brokerage platform among the largest in the country.

Both teams are modernizing their applications through .NET migration and GCP containerization, positioning the domain for greater resilience and scalability. You will partner closely with architecture, product, infrastructure, security, and operations teams to align on scalable solutions and establish clear, opinionated engineering standards that accelerate delivery and reduce fragmentation.

Equally important, you will build and lead high-performing global engineering teams, evolving team structures, expectations, and capabilities to align with AI-driven development. You will foster a culture grounded in accountability, continuous learning, and adaptability, where engineers are empowered to experiment, solve complex problems, and deliver measurable business impact. Through clear communication and strong technical credibility, you will influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment on transformation priorities across the organization.
