Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'Production Support Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 8+ years requirement and scope (executive-facing incident command, cross-team reliability leadership, setting SLOs) firmly support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is framed as Production Support / SRE and emphasizes operating and stabilizing existing systems (incident command, observability, on-call) more than building new software, which points to 15-1244. However, the automation, scripting, and platform-direction responsibilities could support 15-1252 (Software Developers); 15-1252 is listed as the runner-up.
The posting mentions a 'salary range' and bonus/incentive eligibility but does not disclose any specific figures.
Work location is described as on-site at an unspecified Schwab office; no city or CBSA is named in the posting.
The 4-year degree requirement is waived by 'or equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
'Distributed systems' is listed as a required troubleshooting domain rather than a named tool; it is retained here because the JD explicitly gates on expert-level troubleshooting in that environment. 'Scripting' similarly names no specific language but is explicitly required as a hard gate under Required Qualifications.
