As part of this role, you will keep the environment healthy on Linux, diagnose and fix defects, and partner with Architecture to plan platform changes, add-ons, and upgrades. A core focus is a critical modernization, migrating the workloads from the current legacy platform to a modernized solution, Farnam, while de-centralizing analytics to business units and strengthening day-to-day operational support. The work is highly visible and cross-functional, with broad exposure to Java, Python, C#/ .NET, Control-M, BigQuery, and SQL as we advance platform security, automation, and developer experience across Schwab., 1. Own platform health and reliability for the self-service environment: monitor/triage, root-cause and resolve issues, and perform installation, upgrades, and application support on Linux. 2. Lead the modernization effort to migrate Batch Framework workloads to Farnam; ensure robust operational support for Batch Framework during transition and partner with scheduling/orchestration stakeholders (e.g., Control-M) to bridge metadata and process gaps. 3. Onboard new user groups and partner with Architecture on environment changes, add-on usage, and upgrades; implement security best practices for batch usage, version control, code migration, UNIX scripting, logging, and release procedures. 4. Drive operational excellence by evaluating and implementing utilities and automation that increase platform/process efficiency and reduce support toil; measure and communicate improvements. Ensure disaster recovery and resilience strategies are defined, tested, and continuously improved for mission-critical data platforms and services. 5. Build with a rigorous, multi-language toolbox-Java, Python, C#/ .NET (and .NET APIs), Control-M, BigQuery, and SQL to enhance the platform's developer experience and scalability for federated analytics teams. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Node and Package Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2138-wearedevelopers-live-node-and-package-security) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [The Time Paradox: Building Timezone-Safe Python/Django Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1915-the-time-paradox-building-timezone-safe-python-django-applications) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
