About The Position

Capital One is seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to own the technical roadmap for the Capital One Travel Core Platform Team, which builds the foundational tooling used across Travel experiences. This is a deeply technical, builder-minded product leadership role for someone with experience shipping software end-to-end who can manage stakeholders and influence partner roadmaps toward shared goals.

The Platform Team centralizes the shared component library used across six Travel funnels; enables AI-driven front-end development through design-to-code mapping, component metadata, and CI guardrails; modernizes testing, deployment, release, and observability; and improves the platform experience for teams building on it. The product manager will bring these workstreams together into a coherent, sequenced program with measurable outcomes.

The role partners with engineering leadership, design, funnel teams, and agency teams. It translates technical priorities into a roadmap and operating cadence, runs quarterly stakeholder reviews, owns the platform placemat, and communicates credibly in both architecture reviews and executive discussions. The role calls for fluency with modern engineering practices and hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools to prototype and validate technical concepts.

The position requires a qualifying degree by the scheduled start date, or a bachelor's degree in any field plus at least four years of Product Management experience. Capital One will not sponsor new employment authorization or provide immigration-related support. The position is eligible for performance-based incentive compensation. The full-time annual salary range is $200,700–$229,100 in McLean, Virginia, and $219,000–$249,900 in New York, New York; location-specific ranges apply elsewhere. Benefits are described as comprehensive and competitive, with eligibility varying by employment status and management level.

• Deep technical credibility with engineering partners and comfort participating in architectural discussions and evaluating technical tradeoffs.
• Fluency in modern front-end platforms, design systems, CI/CD, and observability.
• Hands-on experience using AI-powered development tools such as Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Stitch by Google, or similar platforms to prototype and validate ideas; comfort working with autonomous AI workflows.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain priorities, strategies, and tradeoffs to engineers and executives.
• Ability to influence partner teams toward long-term platform adoption.
• Ability to work with ambiguity and limited information, take initiative, frame problems, and iterate toward clarity.
• Strong problem-solving skills in complex, multi-stakeholder, multi-team environments.
• Customer-first approach that understands platform engineers’ and consuming teams’ pain points and reflects them in roadmap decisions.

Responsibilities

• Lead AI-driven development enablement through design-to-code mapping, component metadata for AI grounding, and ESLint/CI guardrails to prevent shadow components.
• Modernize deployment, testing, and observability, including test strategy and coverage compliance, regression-test automation, feature-flag and A/B automation, and proactive monitoring such as RUM, crash detection, and session replay.
