For over 20 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!

This is a senior individual contributor role (equivalent to manager level) that does not have direct reports. We require advanced hands‑on software development, technical design, and architecture.

Live well—physically, financially and emotionally. Receive support for you and those who are most important to you, with full coverage for spouses, domestic partners, and dependents.

With up to $3,000 in mental health coverage and up to $5,000 in tuition subsidies per year—and much more—you’ll discover that Capital One is committed to helping you live your best life. We’re committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging. We strive to build a culture where diverse perspectives are valued, innovative ideas are encouraged and inclusive behaviors are embedded in everything we do to positively impact associates.

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. So, let’s do something great together.
