Senior Software Development Engineer - Velocity Black UK

Velocity Black by Capital One harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, the warmth of human experts and the convenience of the latest interfaces to help high-performance people actualize the full potential of their lives. It's concierge, reimagined for the digital age.

By harnessing 24/7 chat, AI, and mobile payments, we help our customers do more and be more in the digital age. From access to the hottest restaurants to guaranteed upgrades at the world’s finest resorts. Make a custom request through the app and you will be chatting to our team within 1 minute, 24/7/365.

What unites us are the values we share: the relentless pursuit and celebration of excellence, actualising the full potential of our lives, and impacting the world in a positive way.

We are looking for talented software engineers to join our global Velocity Black by Capital One engineering team, with the opportunity to specialise in frontend, backend or work in a full stack capacity. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of driving a major transformation with the marrying of these two innovative companies. Joining a startup deeply invested in technology with Capital One’s entrepreneurial spirit and customer-first, tech-led culture, creates an environment where engineers can continue to disrupt the status quo to develop best-in-class customer experiences for the digital age.

You will work in a small but passionate team, and have a great deal of autonomy. You should be self-driven, willing to take ownership, ask the right questions and seek knowledge when necessary. If you think innovatively, and like to embrace bleeding edge technology, with a pragmatic approach, you will enjoy working here.

The service we offer and build upon is unlike anything ever built before, and our product is rapidly evolving. Velocity Black is our core product, built in React Native and offering exclusive access and unbeatable world-wide service across Travel, Experiences, Luxury Goods and Dining. Our internal and bespoke request management platform, Gravity, is built with React and Node.js micro services, virtually augmenting our expert customer service agents with AI, delivering the unrivalled personal service our members expect and love.
