Lead Software Engineer, Enterprise CI/CD (AWS, Python, Groovy)
About The Position
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 seeking Full Stack Software Engineers who want to build for an audience of engineers. Our customers are the thousands of developers who ship Capital One's software every day, and our product is the CI/CD platform they build on — the difference between a pipeline that takes an afternoon and one that takes a coffee break. You'll operate that platform at enormous scale while re-architecting it underneath for the velocity of the agentic AI era. As a Capital One Lead Software Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of driving a major transformation within Capital One.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree
- At least 4 years of experience in software engineering (Internship experience does not apply)
- At least 1 year experience with cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)
Nice To Haves
- Master's Degree
- 7+ years of experience in at least one of the following: JavaScript, Java, TypeScript, SQL, Python, or Go
- 3+ years of experience with AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, or another cloud service
- 4+ years of experience in open source frameworks
- 1+ years of people management experience
- 2+ years of experience in Agile practices
- Experience leveraging interactive AI tooling to accelerate productivity, utilizing capabilities beyond basic code completion
Responsibilities
- Own the design and delivery of platform capabilities used by thousands of software pipelines across the company, where a single change you make is felt by every engineering team at Capital One
- Help re-architect our CI/CD platform for a future where software is produced at a fundamentally higher rate, defining the contracts and abstractions that let the system evolve without breaking the teams building on it
- Lead a portfolio of diverse technology projects, providing technical leadership and mentorship to engineers across the organization, setting engineering standards, and raising the bar on the quality and craft of what we ship
- Build compliance and control into the platform itself, so that meeting the company's regulatory obligations is an automatic property of how software gets delivered rather than a manual burden on every team
- Share your passion for staying on top of tech trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, participating in internal and external technology communities, and mentoring other members of the engineering community
- Work across a deliberately broad stack — JVM languages, Go, Python, and TypeScript; containers and Kubernetes; distributed systems and workflow engines; and a wide range of AWS services
Benefits
- comprehensive, competitive, and inclusive set of health, financial and other benefits that support your total well-being
