About Capital One Canada.

For 30 years, Capital One Canada has aimed to change banking for good 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 over 270. We focus on doing the right thing and finding innovative ways to better serve our customers through technology.

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

A day in the life of a Capital One Staff Engineer

You will work alongside other Software Engineers on innovative projects. You will learn, design and build software products from the ground up. You will share knowledge through conducting technical workshops and participating in hackathons or staff engineering forums. You will explain complex technical challenges and solutions to diverse stakeholders with both technical and non-technical backgrounds.

Here are a few ways we help 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 certainty about which credit cards they’ll be approved for before they apply, by using Quick Check

We are all-in on the cloud and leaders in open source, RESTful APIs, microservices, and containers. We build our own products and release them with speed and agility to bring new customer experiences to market quickly. We are inspired to make, break, do, and do good as a founder-led company.
