Our primary goal at Schwab is to transform people’s lives by changing the way the world invests. We are beginning the process of re-architecting and rebuilding our core recordkeeping software platform to support our rapidly growing and evolving business.

  • Security & Compliance: Configure and enforce database security standards, including user access management, encryption, and data masking. Ensure that databases comply with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) and internal security policies.
  • Collaboration with Development Teams: Work closely with developers to ensure database designs align with application requirements. Assist in the creation and modification of database objects to ensure they are optimized for performance and scalability.
  • Code Review: Review and approve all database code submitted by application teams before deployment to production.
  • Monitoring & Incident Response: Use SQL Server monitoring tools to track key performance metrics, detect issues, and ensure high availability. Respond to database incidents, troubleshoot performance bottlenecks, and resolve issues promptly.
  • Capacity Planning & Scalability: Assess and plan for database growth by monitoring usage patterns and recommending infrastructure changes to meet the growing demands of our business partners.
  • Documentation & Best Practices: Maintain up-to-date documentation of SQL Server database configurations, procedures, and best practices. Provide recommendations for process improvements and enforce standards across the database environment.
  • Troubleshooting & Support: Provide advanced troubleshooting for database issues affecting applications, including resolving database connectivity problems, performance issues, and data integrity concerns.
