About Capital One Canada.

For over 20 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!

Our Capital One Software Studio.

Since 2014, Capital One Canada’s software studio has grown from a team of 10 to a team of over 270. 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.

This is a senior technical position (manager equivalent) that does not have direct reports. We require advanced hands-on development, technical design, and architecture.

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.
