Senior Director, Distinguished Engineer (CORE)
As a Sr. Distinguished Engineer at Capital One, you will be a part of a community of technical experts working to define the future of banking in the cloud.
You will work alongside our talented team of developers, machine learning experts, product managers and people leaders. Our Distinguished Engineers are leading experts in their domains, helping devise practical and reusable solutions to complex problems. You will drive innovation at multiple levels, helping optimize business outcomes while driving towards strong technology solutions.
At Capital One, we believe diversity of thought strengthens our ability to influence, collaborate and provide the most innovative solutions across organizational boundaries. You will promote a culture of engineering excellence, and strike the right balance between lending expertise and providing an inclusive environment where the ideas of others can be heard and championed. You will lead the way in creating next‑generation talent for Capital One Tech, mentoring internal talent and actively recruiting to keep building our community.
Distinguished Engineers are expected to lead through technical contribution. You will operate as a trusted advisor for our key technologies, platforms and capability domains, creating clear and concise communications, code samples, blog posts and other material to share knowledge both inside and outside the organization. You will specialize in a particular subject area, but your input and impact will be sought and expected throughout the organization.
Join us to define the future of observability at enterprise scale — where OpenTelemetry meets Generative AI. You’ll drive strategy and innovation across our engineering ecosystem, shaping how millions of signals become real‑time intelligence for Capital One line of business. As a Distinguished Engineer, you’ll influence engineering direction across product lines, architect deep telemetry intelligence, and partner with senior leaders to transform how we see, understand, and act on technology operations data in the cloud.
