As a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One, you will be a part of a community of technical experts working to define the future of banking in the cloud.

You will work alongside our talented team of developers, machine learning experts, product managers and people leaders. Our Distinguished Engineers are leading experts in their domains, helping devise practical and reusable solutions to complex problems. You will drive innovation at multiple levels, helping optimize business outcomes while driving towards strong technology solutions.

At Capital One, we believe diversity of thought strengthens our ability to influence, collaborate and provide the most innovative solutions across organizational boundaries. You will promote a culture of engineering excellence, and strike the right balance between lending expertise and providing an inclusive environment where the ideas of others can be heard and championed. You will lead the way in creating next-generation talent for Capital One Tech, mentoring internal talent and actively recruiting to keep building our community.

Distinguished Engineers are expected to lead through technical contribution. You will operate as a trusted advisor for our key technologies, platforms and capability domains, creating clear and concise communications, code samples, blog posts and other material to share knowledge both inside and outside the organization. You will specialize in a particular subject area, but your input and impact will be sought and expected throughout the organization.

  • Architect and build highly secure & scalable systems that enable server-driven product experiences across devices, with exceptional reliability and availability.
  • Design high-throughput, low-latency services capable of handling millions of concurrent requests.
  • Design and implement API & federated BFF (Back-end for Front end) strategy for efficient data access (fetching, caching, request coalescing, etc.) between backend services and clients, with democratized data schema contribution.
  • Architect enhanced Observability and Monitoring frameworks to enable rapid issue detection, debugging and resolution, across the entire product system stack.
  • Provide organizational technical leadership to influence architecture, engineering standards, cross-team strategies, mentoring engineers and driving organization wide platform innovation.
  • Leverage proven leadership in driving platform strategy, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and influencing technical direction across the company
