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 Southlake, TX location.

Schwab Technology Services enables the future of how clients manage their money by delivering innovative and reliable technology solutions that support investing and financial planning at scale. As a Senior Software Development & Engineering leader within the Sales and Service Technology organization, you will own and drive the delivery of modern, enterprise-grade applications across a highly distributed ecosystem. This role is accountable for defining and advancing front-end and full-stack engineering capabilities using Angular-based micro-frontend frameworks and Java-based microservices to deliver secure, high-performing, and accessible client experiences.

Joining this team means being at the forefront of a meaningful platform transformation—owning the modernization of a legacy system into a scalable, future-ready solution that directly enhances the day-to-day experience and productivity of internal representatives. You will lead the development of advanced, agentic experiences that extend beyond traditional software, leveraging AI-driven capabilities to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and drive measurable efficiency gains at scale. Your work will directly impact how efficiently internal clients operate and how quickly teams can deliver critical capabilities.

You will set technical direction and are accountable for outcomes across the full software development lifecycle—from architecture and design through implementation, testing, and long-term support. In addition to delivering product outcomes, you will define, standardize, and scale foundational frameworks that are adopted across the organization, establishing engineering patterns and practices that enable faster, more consistent delivery across multiple teams and domains.

Success in this role requires strong collaboration across product, design, architecture, and engineering teams to translate complex requirements into scalable technical solutions. You will influence cross-functional priorities, align stakeholders on technical strategy, and resolve complex engineering challenges to deliver high-quality outcomes. Through mentorship and hands-on leadership, you will elevate engineering capabilities, strengthen consistency, and build scalable practices that enable teams to adapt and deliver in an evolving environment.
