About The Position

Are you interested in leading programs that deliver on critical business goals and build large scale products & platforms? At Capital One, we’re changing banking for good. We were founded on the belief that no one should be locked out of the financial system. We’re dedicated to helping foster a world where everyone has an equal opportunity to prosper. We’re a bank, but we don’t think like one. We’re always thinking about what’s next, about how we can innovate and inspire, and about how we can develop the tools our customers need to improve their financial lives - by leveraging best in class technology. That’s where you come in. Risk Tech is responsible for transforming risk management into a real time, intelligent discipline powered by modern products and technical capabilities. Our mission is divided into two primary functional pillars: Risk Management Tech (RMT), which develops the frameworks and tools for monitoring risks, testing controls, and managing regulatory requirements; and AML and Compliance Tech (ACT), which ensures our products are delivered ethically and in strict compliance with BSA/AML regulations and global laws. Reinforcing these pillars are our commitment to Architecture & Engineering Excellence. Our Architecture team bridges the gap between business strategy and technical execution through a customer centric, domain oriented lens, while our Engineering Excellence team empowers our talent to build better, more resilient systems every day. Together, we ensure that Risk Tech isn't just a safeguard - it’s a competitive advantage.
