Distinguished Engineer, Bank Tech

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.

In this role, you will be a part of our Bank Modernization team and will be designing services at the heart of our new core banking platform as well as supporting other critical initiatives such as migrating clients to a core agnostic interface that can abstract away the clients from the underlying systems of record and ensure there is no disruption of services for the clients.

Key responsibilities:
  • Articulate and evangelize a bold technical vision for your domain
  • Decompose complex problems into practical and operational solutions
  • Ensure the quality of technical design and implementation
  • Serve as an authoritative expert on non-functional system characteristics, such as performance, scalability and operability
  • Continue learning and injecting advanced technical knowledge into our community
  • Handle several projects simultaneously, balancing your time to maximize impact
  • Act as a role model and mentor within the tech community, helping to coach and strengthen the technical expertise and know-how of our engineering and product community
  • Abstract clients from core systems of record
  • Migrate clients to a core agnostic GraphQL interface layer
  • Provide automation and tooling to accelerate client onboarding to the modern core efficiently
  • Ensure all the client applications and use cases function as expected post migration


Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's Degree
  • At least 7 years of experience in software engineering
  • At least 5 years of experience working with at least one of the following programming languages: Java, Python, or Node.js
  • At least 3 years of experience in public cloud technologies (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform)


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Masters' Degree
  • 9+ years of software engineering experience
  • 5+ years of experience in AWS
  • 5+ years of experience architecting cloud-native applications
  • Experience working with event-driven and microservice architectures
