For 30 years, we’ve been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you!
Since 2014, Capital One Canada’s software studio has grown from a team of 10 to a team of over 250. We’re passionate about what we do, and we’re always on the lookout for people who want to make a difference in the world of credit through technology. We’re obsessed with doing the right thing, and we achieve that by finding innovative ways to better serve our customers.
Here are a few of the ways we’re helping people take control of their credit:
Helping customers view and monitor their credit scores with Credit Keeper
Enabling customers to view and edit their Personal Information directly in the Mobile App
Providing customers 100% certainty which credit cards they’ll be approved for before they apply, by using Quick Check™
We’re all-in on the cloud and we’re leaders in the adoption of open source, RESTful APIs, microservices, and containers. We build our own products and release them with a speed and agility that allows us to get new customer experiences to market quickly. And, as a founder-led company, we’re inspired to make, break, do, and do good.
You’ll lead the teams in and drive the mission and vision of the Engineering organization focused on developing foundational technology capabilities that accelerate the pace of deliveries for customer-facing web and mobile applications. We have a diverse ecosystem of highly-available RESTful microservices and streaming real-time systems hosted on leading edge AWS Cloud assets. Our applications leverage open source frameworks and strong software engineering principles that offer a diverse array of challenging, fun, and impactful problems in scalability, monitoring, and automation capabilities.
