About The Position

Lead Software Engineer, Fullstack (Enterprise Platforms Technology) Do you love building and pioneering in the technology space? Do you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, inclusive, and iterative delivery environment? At Capital One, you'll be part of a big group of makers, breakers, doers and disruptors, who solve real problems and meet real customer needs. We are hiring Lead Software Engineers and Sr. Lead Software Engineers to build and operate the content infrastructure that powers marketing across all customer-facing channels. You will work on our CMS and Digital Asset Management (DAM) platforms: building APIs, authoring workflows, asset pipelines, and content delivery systems that serve millions of customers daily. This is foundational platform work in a regulated financial services environment where reliability, security, and compliance are non-negotiable. Enterprise Platforms Technology (EPTech) comprises many of Capital One’s most important enterprise platforms. We play an essential role in establishing practices for building technology solutions across the company, while also delivering capabilities that exemplify those practices. What You’ll Do Build and maintain APIs and microservices for content authoring, versioning, approval workflows, and multi-channel publishing. Design and operate digital asset pipelines — ingestion, transformation, metadata tagging, rights management, and CDN-backed delivery with security controls (signed URLs, token-based access). Contribute to content migration efforts, including ETL pipelines for moving content between CMS platforms (e.g., AEM to Bloomreach) with data integrity validation. Implement search and retrieval capabilities using Elasticsearch or similar technologies, optimizing for read-heavy content serving workloads. Write well-tested, production-ready code with comprehensive unit, integration, and contract tests; participate in CI/CD pipeline development. Support RTO/RPO requirements and build resilience patterns (circuit breakers, graceful degradation, failover) appropriate for a banking regulatory context. Collaborate with product managers, content strategists, and compliance teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
