About Capital One Canada.

For 30 years, we've been on a mission to change banking for good.

We're a bank a tech company would build, where your work directly shapes innovative solutions that impact millions of Canadians.

We're driven by fearless curiosity, bold innovation, and a collective of authentic people working together to redefine what's possible. Technology isn’t just part of our strategy, it is our strategy. Everything we do serves our vision and the creation of what's next.

About the Team

If you're looking for challenging work with real impact, a team that cares deeply about the code they ship, and a product that real people use when they're planning their next trip — come build the next generation of the Travel portal with us. From the moment a traveler starts planning a trip, to browsing options, comparing rates, and finally hitting that booking button — your code is there for all of it. You're not working on one small corner of the product. You're touching the whole journey.

We are solving real customer problems: we need all hotels at the right price with accurate information, and we need to make sure the portal is the best place to book your travel.

• Spearhead the development of Android features, with a focus on leveraging Jetpack Compose and reactive programming, to fulfill Capital One Travel objectives while adhering to cutting-edge engineering best practices, design guidelines, and principles.

• Partner with fellow Software Engineers, UX/UI designers, and Product Owners/Analysts to craft high-performing, engaging, and purposeful customer experiences that exemplify simplicity and excellence.

• Actively engage in all team agile ceremonies, ensuring timely delivery of all commitments while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

• Continuously expand expertise in mobile development technologies, with a particular emphasis on Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, while also staying informed about relevant third-party libraries and tools.

• Lead discussions and provide valuable contributions to team initiatives, incorporating feedback from diverse stakeholders.

• Mentor junior and mid-level team members, fostering their growth and development in Android platform engineering and design system methodologies.

• Collaborate closely with developers across various disciplines (Android, iOS, APIs, Web, etc.), fostering a culture of cross-functional collaboration and learning.

• Take ownership of delivering major platform components and functionalities, working closely with Senior Engineers and Architects to ensure alignment with architectural vision and engineering excellence.

• Drive the adoption of best practices and process improvements within and across sprint teams, continuously striving for operational efficiency and excellence.

• Proactively identify technical challenges and work collaboratively with the team to devise innovative solutions, promoting a culture of problem-solving and creativity.

• Conduct thorough reviews of pull requests, ensuring adherence to Kotlin and Jetpack Compose idioms, and providing constructive feedback to enhance code quality and maintainability.

Basic Qualifications

• At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience

• At least 2 years of experience building native Android applications

• At least 2 years of experience with Kotlin

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master’s or Diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or in related field
