Senior Director, Cloud Architecture and Engineering Oversight

Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today, powered by our passion for our customers. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity, reliability, and managing technology risk.

For years, the cybersecurity community has debated whether the CISO should report to the CIO or not. In regulated financial services, the answer is: both. The first-line CISO has operational responsibilities and reports to the CIO. The second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Technology Risk Management (TRM) organization have broader responsibilities for cybersecurity but also reliability, software quality, resilience, and other technology risks. The CTRO is independent, reports to the Chief Risk Officer, and oversees the work of the CISO and the CIO.

Technology Risk Management (TRM) is a small organization that packs a big punch. The ~100 professionals in TRM are trusted experts who oversee ~14,000 developers at Capital One. We raise the bar for excellence in cybersecurity, reliability, and tech risk. We shape strategy and decisions, challenge activities to ensure they meet our standards, and perform independent tests of our security and technology risk.

Our business leaders must make technology decisions constantly. TRM makes sure they have the tech risk information they need to make good decisions. Associates within TRM are highly-skilled information security, cybersecurity, site reliability engineering, technology, and risk management professionals. They have a wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to add value with their advice and to deliver high-impact results.

We are currently seeking a dynamic leader with in-depth experience related to public cloud architecture and engineering, specifically AWS and Google Cloud Platform. This individual will challenge our cloud infrastructure programs, providing expert advice on design, standards, and best practices. The ideal candidate for this role will have a deep understanding of advanced practices around automation, containerization and serverless, and polycloud implementation. The associate in this role will lead a team and a program to develop relationships and influence engineering and risk teams across the organization to provide effective oversight.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Provide oversight and challenge to our public cloud strategy, operation, tooling, processes, and requirements
  • Influence Capital One's cloud architecture and design decisions, representing our corporate risk appetite
  • Establish Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to accurately measure and track our public cloud infrastructure's compliance with our risk appetite
  • Work closely with enterprise architects, product managers, cloud engineers, and SRE teams to understand our processes and approaches and influence change where appropriate
  • Challenge platform architecture and engineering standards and ensure compliance
  • Advise on best practices and approaches to polycloud and the implementation our generative AI strategy on multiple public clouds
  • Provide oversight and challenge to our containerization and serverless strategies and implementations


Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's Degree or Military Experience
  • At least 3 years of experience leading a cloud architecture organization
  • At least 3 years of practitioner experience with containerization (Kubernetes), cloud technologies (AWS and Google Cloud Platform), cloud tooling (Cloud Custodian, OPA, and AWS and Google Cloud Platform tools), or technical practices such IaC and PaC
  • At least 7 years of experience in Enterprise IT


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Engineering or equivalent
  • At least 5 years of experience in cloud architecture or engineering organization
  • Cloud certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect Associate or Professional and Google Cloud Platform Professional Cloud Architect
  • At least 3 years experience in a highly regulated environment, preferably financial services
  • Outstanding interpersonal skills, innovation, and the ability to motivate, inspire, and lead cross group/functional teams with a high degree of independence and success
