Job description

Senior Director of Software Engineering

Capital One's People Tech Engineering Organization is seeking a Senior Director of Software Engineering to lead, manage, mentor, and build exceptional software engineering teams to deliver game changing technologies. We are on a mission to transform our organization by building an innovation infrastructure and mindset so that we can deliver on bold goals and OKRs. The Sr. Director must have the ability to attract and recruit the industry’s best talent, and simultaneously have the technical chops to ensure that we build compelling, customer focused solutions in an iterative methodology. The People Tech Engineering Organization is the Technology arm for 10+ business partners, providing staff tech functions for Capital One associates.

As a candidate for this role, you’re able to seamlessly switch from diving deep into technology with engineers to driving high-level, strategic discussions. You are a naturally curious technologist and stay on top of emerging trends, including hands-on prototyping of nascent technologies. You are not afraid to question any existing processes and solutions, yet you display a keen sense of business value proposition and focus on the right priorities.

The person we’re looking for:

• Lead, manage and grow multiple teams of product focused software engineers
• Mentor and guide the professional and technical development of engineers on your team
• Work with product leaders to define the strategy, roadmap and destination architecture, helping establish a product mindset within the organization and business partners
• Manage a portfolio of diverse technology platforms and projects to build scalable applications that meet our customer needs
• Continuously improve software engineering practices
• Work within and across Agile teams to design, develop, test, implement, and support technical solutions across a full-stack of development tools and technologies
• Lead the craftsmanship, availability, resilience, and scalability of your solutions
• Bring a passion to stay on top of tech trends, experiment with and learn new technologies, participate in internal & external technology communities,
