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 Reliability Engineer, you will help shape the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of mission-critical enterprise platforms that support our clients and business operations. This role blends software engineering, systems engineering, and operational expertise to drive resilient, high-performing technology solutions in complex distributed environments. Working closely with engineering, product, scrum, and operations teams, you will apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to improve system availability, accelerate delivery, reduce operational complexity, and strengthen platform observability.

You will play a key role in designing and implementing automation solutions that minimize manual effort, improve operational efficiency, and enhance system reliability at scale. Leveraging modern observability practices, AI/ML-enabled operational capabilities, and proactive monitoring strategies, you will help identify risks, detect anomalies, improve incident response, and support data-driven decision making. Your work will influence platform stability through automation, predictive insights, deployment optimization, rollout validation, capacity planning, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Success in this role requires strong problem-solving skills, sound technical judgment, and the ability to collaborate across teams to address complex operational challenges. You will contribute to the evolution of reliability practices, champion automation-first approaches, support continuous delivery initiatives, and help build systems that enable teams to operate with greater confidence, agility, and efficiency. As part of a highly collaborative environment, you will also participate in incident response and on-call support while helping drive long-term improvements that enhance customer and business outcomes.
