The DARE (Data Archival & Corporate Records | Reliability Engineering) organization owns mission critical OnDemand

and ePresentment platforms supporting the archival, integrity, and delivery of regulatory client communications at

enterprise scale. These platforms are actively experiencing sustained growth in file volumes, increasing regulatory and

operational risk, and expanding upstream dependencies. To support operational growth, DARE team is modernizing

all its legacy platforms to improve scalability, resiliency, and stability.

This role is a compelling opportunity to shape how quality, reliability, and risk mitigation are engineered into

mission‑critical, highly regulated platforms at enterprise scale within the DARE organization, which supports the

archival, integrity, and delivery of regulatory client communications amid rapidly growing volumes and increasing

operational complexity. As a trusted SDET/QA leader, the role drives platform modernization by embedding

intelligent automation, AI‑enabled testing, and CI/CD‑first quality practices directly into delivery pipelines—ensuring

scalability, resiliency, and compliance are built in by design. Equally important, the role carries a clear mandate to

mentor and elevate SDET and QA talent, set technical direction, raise engineering standards, and foster a culture of

ownership and continuous improvement. With broad platform visibility, deep technical influence, and meaningful

people leadership, this role is ideal for a quality leader excited to leave a lasting imprint on enterprise systems,

engineering maturity, and the next generation of quality engineering leadership.

• Own enterprise‑level quality strategy and outcomes for mission‑critical OnDemand and ePresentment

platforms, ensuring archival integrity, regulatory compliance, and reliable delivery at scale as file volumes and

upstream dependencies continue to grow.

• Serve as a key advisory leader across complex, multi‑year critical technical and business initiatives including

legacy platform modernization (OCAPI and OnDemand Portal), ANEX account number expansion, Schwab Crypto,

replatforming legacy applications (IGR), and ongoing regulatory maintenance workloads.

• Define and govern end‑to‑end test strategy, including automation frameworks, quality metrics, and risk‑based

testing approaches, providing enterprise accountability for quality, reliability, and scalability outcomes across

platforms.

• Embed intelligent automation and AI‑enabled testing into CI/CD pipelines to improve test coverage, reduce

execution risk, and modernize quality practices in alignment with forward‑looking engineering standards.

• Ensure performance, scalability, resiliency, and reliability assurance are built into platform design and delivery

through data‑driven risk identification and continuous quality signal monitoring.

• Set technical direction for SDET and QA engineers, raising engineering standards and ensuring consistent,

scalable quality practices across teams and initiatives.

• Mentor, develop, and grow SDET and QA talent, fostering a strong culture of ownership, accountability, and

continuous improvement while building future technical and people leaders within the organization.

• Reduce enterprise execution and regulatory risk by formalizing quality ownership at the appropriate scope

and level, ensuring sustained delivery of reliable, compliant outcomes for Schwab and its clients.
