A day in the life of a Capital One Staff Engineer

You’ll work alongside other Software Engineers on innovative projects. You’ll have the opportunity to learn, design and build software products from the ground up. You’ll share knowledge through conducting technical workshops/office hours, and participating in hackathons or community of practices or staff engineering forums. You’ll explain complex technical challenges and solutions to diverse stakeholders with tech and non-technical backgrounds.

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. So, let’s do something great together.
