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).

As a Senior Full Stack Java Developer, you will design, build, and deliver secure, high-performing enterprise applications and services that power critical business capabilities and elevate the client’s experience. You will partner closely with product owners, architects, business partners, and fellow engineers to translate complex business needs into scalable technical solutions—owning your work from analysis and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. In this senior individual contributor role, you will lead end-to-end delivery of features and services, guide technical direction on items of moderate-to-high complexity, decompose narratives into well-scoped work, and champion engineering excellence through clean code, secure coding practices, automated testing, and reliable CI/CD delivery. You will also serve as a technical mentor—leading code reviews, clarifying requirements, explaining end-to-end system flows, and coaching junior engineers—while collaborating with UX experts, delivery managers, and scrum leaders to shape thoughtful designs, providing sizing estimates, identify risks early, and establish mitigation plans. A meaningful part of your work will involve leveraging GenAI coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code) across the SDLC—implementation, refactoring, unit testing, code reviews, scripting/automation, troubleshooting, and documentation—while applying strong engineering judgment, validation, and prompt engineering practices to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and shape team-level standards for AI-assisted development. Above all, you are a curious, collaborative engineer who thrives in Agile/Scrum environments, adapts quickly to new technologies, and delivers outcomes that meaningfully move the business forward

• 8+ years of hands-on software development experience delivering scalable, enterprise-grade Java applications and services
• 8+ years of hands-on Front-end design and development experience, preferably using Angular or React.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of professional-level Java web and service development experience with Java/Spring and Spring Boot
• 6+ years of experience developing Microservices and REST APIs, with working knowledge of messaging frameworks such as Kafka
• 6+ years of professional-level front-end experience with HTML, JSP, NPM/webpack build tooling, and Angular
• 5+ years of experience with CI/CD tools such as Bitbucket, Bamboo, Jenkins, or GitHub, applied to build, test, and deployment automation

• Working knowledge of agentic workflows, spec-driven development (translating low-level design artifacts such as class structures, API contracts, and data models into structured specs that guide AI-assisted implementation), and custom instructions and prompt engineering, with the ability to establish team-level practices for effective AI-assisted development
• Strong grasp of secure coding practices and familiarity with application security concepts and tools
• Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, and to build partnerships across multiple functions and levels within an organization
