Director, Software Engineering- Risk Technology

The Risk Technology team at Capital One is tasked with building cutting edge software to manage the most critical risks across the bank. Our applications are used to prevent risks and automatically detect issues before they impact our business, our customers, or our communities. Whether it’s detecting and preventing financial crimes, modeling the financial risk of our credit portfolio, or identifying fraud, our engineers design, build, and support the applications that are foundational to one of Capital One’s key competitive advantages, Risk Management. There is a reason at Capital One we say “Risk Management is the business.”

As a Director of Software Engineering within Risk Technology, you’ll be tasked with building new solutions that align to our mission of transforming risk management with technology. Our data pipelines are responsible for monitoring, managing, and transforming data across the entire bank, processing billions of records every day in real time. Our internal tools are used by thousands of internal risk managers and investigators to detect, monitor, and resolve risks. And our models leverage machine learning to surface the most critical risks across the bank.

You will:

• Lead, manage and empower multiple teams of Software, Data, and ML Engineers.
• Hire and grow world class engineering talent, providing mentoring to guide the professional and technical development of your team. Build an organization that empowers your talent to perform at their highest level.
• Build systems that adhere to highest engineering quality standards, applying your vision and expertise to set the bar on resiliency, scalability, efficiency, and performance.
• Bring a passion to stay on top of emerging technologies, participate in internal & external technology communities, and mentor other members of the engineering community.
• Partner with product managers and our business teams to design solutions that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our risk management customers.
• Build systems that have an immediate impact on our business and on our customers.
• Ship early and often to production, bringing business value to our stakeholders quickly while failing fast and iterating when we miss the mark.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree
• At least 7 years’ experience in software development
• At least 5 years’ experience in people management

Preferred Qualifications:

• 9 years experience in Software Engineering or Data Engineering as an individual contributor.
• Experience in building data applications that leverage distributed technologies (Spark, Flink, Hive) to execute workflows at scale.
• 5 years experience developing front end applications using modern frameworks (React, Angular).
• Experience in operating applications using AWS, leveraging services such as Lambda, Fargate, RDS, and Kinesis, employing multi-AZ and multi-region practices to solve for resilency.
• Experience in developing personalized experiences, leveraging experimentation (A/B testing, multi-armed bandit) to optimize.
