• Your scope of work is to take ownership of ambiguous problems and come forward with scalable solutions across the stack.
• In addition to this you’ll be involved in solving wider business problems, thinking at domain and system level (think things that get in the way of the businesses day-to-day!).

• Working collaboratively and committed to be part of a successful outcome with the key focus upon enabling others in their work both within and outside of the team.

Still founder-led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard Fairbank, Capital One is on a mission to help our customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity, and humanity to banking. We measure our efforts by the success our customers enjoy and the advocacy they exhibit. We are succeeding because they are succeeding.

Guided by our shared values, we thrive in an environment where collaboration and openness are valued. We believe that innovation is powered by perspective and that teamwork and respect for each other lead to superior results. We elevate each other and obsess about doing the right thing. Our associates serve with humility and a deep respect for their responsibility in helping our customers achieve their goals and realize their dreams. Together, we are on a quest to change banking for good.

We’re big on collaboration and connection, and so you will be based in our offices on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

What's in it for you
