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.

Basic Qualifications

• At least 4 years of experience leading a team within an agile environment
• At least 4 years of experience providing direct people leadership including talent development, performance management, team building and succession planning
• At least 10 years of experience as a hands‑on software engineer
• Knowledge of software engineering best practices including security, automated testing, continuous delivery (CI/CD), high‑availability and system resiliency

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, or another cloud service
• Experience with full stack software development
• Exposure to financial/tech industry
• Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or in related field
• Experience leading multiple teams
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior business and product stakeholders (Director+) on strategy and roadmaps
• At least 5 years of experience managing relationships with Business and/or Product stakeholders, and/or external partners
• At least 4 years of experience leading software engineers creating customer facing and enterprise facing web applications and/or supporting application services
• At least 10 years of experience contributing to application and/or data design, architecture and development

Working at Capital One.

• Take ownership of your own potential:

  Whether you're looking to upskill, pivot into new business areas, or master your craft, you'll have access to tools and mentorship to reach your potential and define your career trajectory.

• Find your rhythm:
