Job Abstract

Distinguished Engineer (Director IC) - Fraud Technology

As a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One, you will be a part of a community of technical experts working to define the future of banking in the cloud.

You will work alongside our talented team of developers, machine learning experts, product managers and people leaders. Our Distinguished Engineers are leading experts in their domains, helping devise practical and reusable solutions to complex problems. You will drive innovation at multiple levels, helping optimize business outcomes while driving towards strong technology solutions.

At Capital One, we believe diversity of thought strengthens our ability to influence, collaborate and provide the most innovative solutions across organizational boundaries. You will promote a culture of engineering excellence, and strike the right balance between lending expertise and providing an inclusive environment where the ideas of others can be heard and championed. You will lead the way in creating next-generation talent for Capital One Tech, mentoring internal talent and actively recruiting to keep building our community.

Distinguished Engineers are expected to lead through technical contribution. You will operate as a trusted advisor for our key technologies, platforms and capability domains, creating clear and concise communications, code samples, blog posts and other material to share knowledge both inside and outside the organization. You will specialize in a particular subject area, but your input and impact will be sought and expected throughout the organization.

If you’re interested in ML and big data, we’ve got it - in the Fraud Tech space, we integrate with all of the most significant systems in Card. Whether we’re scanning 10 new credit applications per second, 100 payment requests per second, or even 250 card authorizations per second, we’re constantly on the lookout for fraudsters. We use ML, bot detection, voice printing, and rule-based systems, among other things to spot the latest trends and issues. 

We coordinate complicated business processes across a huge (and growing!) fleet of microservices to do everything from sending real time alerts to deleting credit cards to releasing restricted accounts. We support Capital One customers at some of their most confusing times - trying to make the complex process of reviewing and reporting potential fraud issues and resolving disputes as simple as possible. We also support the workflow of the agents who investigate and resolve those issues. 

We are looking for a Distinguished Engineer to lead our modernization journey of Fraud disputes and claims processing. You will partner with engineers, product and business stakeholders across the Card Fraud domain and build scalable & resilient solutions that leverage modern tech and design patterns.

If you are ready to provide thought leadership and build engineering excellence across Capital One's engineering teams, come join us in our mission to change banking for good.
