STS Description

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.

Organization / Role Description

This position is for a Senior Software Application Engineering Leader responsible for driving the delivery of innovative technical solutions within a highly distributed Java-based application ecosystem, leveraging modern micro-frontend and microservices architectural patterns. The role requires deep experience leading web platform engineering with Angular (including RxJS, state management, and component architecture) to deliver high-performance, accessible, and secure client experiences at scale.

As a leader within the Sales and Service Technology organization, this role provides both strategic and hands-on engineering oversight to ensure scalable, resilient, and high-quality systems that support key business capabilities. The leader sets front-end engineering standards for Angular applications—covering design systems, module federation/micro-frontends, performance budgets, accessibility (WCAG), observability, CI/CD quality gates, and testing strategy.

Applicant will guide engineering teams through the full software development lifecycle—from solution design and architectural alignment (Java back-end services and Angular front-end integration) through implementation, testing, release, and long-term support across the Sales and Service Technology portfolio. This includes establishing Angular best practices, ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture, and maintaining delivery excellence across multiple agile teams.

This role collaborates extensively with business stakeholders, product owners, architects, and technology partners across Schwab. The leader is accountable for influencing technical direction, coordinating cross-team dependencies, and ensuring the engineering organization executes effectively in support of strategic initiatives requiring robust, enterprise-grade Angular user interfaces integrated with Java-based services.

•           Collaborate closely with product, UX, and platform teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
•           Ensure high standards of code quality, security, performance, and reliability across the full technology stack.
•           Work with relational and/or NoSQL databases, including schema design, query optimization, and data access patterns.
•           Apply CI/CD practices, automated testing, and DevOps principles to support rapid and reliable deployments.
•           Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across front end, backend, and infrastructure layers.
•           Mentor engineers and promote best practices in full stack development, design patterns, and engineering standards.
