About Capital One Canada.
For 30 years, we've been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people - in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you!
About the Team:
Since 2014, Capital One Canada's software studio has grown from a team of 10 to a team of over 250. We're passionate about what we do, and we're always on the lookout for people who want to make a difference in the world of credit through technology. We're obsessed with doing the right thing, and we achieve that by finding innovative ways to better serve our customers.
Here are a few of the ways we're helping people take control of their credit:
  • Helping customers view and monitor their credit scores with Credit Keeper
  • Enabling customers to view and edit their Personal Information directly in the Mobile App
  • Providing customers 100% certainty which credit cards they'll be approved for before they apply, by using Quick Check™

We're all-in on the cloud and we're leaders in the adoption of open source, RESTful APIs, microservices, and containers. We build our own products and release them with a speed and agility that allows us to get new customer experiences to market quickly. And, as a founder-led company, we're inspired to make, break, do, and do good.
About the Role:
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.
This is a director equivalent role that does not have direct reports. We require advanced hands-on development, technical design, and architecture experiences.
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.
If you are ready to provide thought leadership and build engineering excellence across Capital One's engineering teams, come join us in our mission to change banking for good.
