Sr. Distinguished Engineer - Developer Enablement (Remote Eligible)

You will work alongside our talented team of developers, machine learning experts, product managers and people leaders. Our Senior 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.

Senior 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.

As a Senior Distinguished Engineer, you will join the Developer Experience organization within the Enterprise Platform Technology (EPTech) line of business. You will own and execute on high priority initiatives that enable developers to be more productive, while influencing across the enterprise to drive our Developer Experience strategy. Specifically, you will be partnering closely with cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance to teams and defining the strategy for how we develop and maintain software at Capital One, paying special attention to how we ensure software stays current while minimizing the effort required of developer teams to do so. You will drive adoption of low surface area container images (“distroless”), standardize software build processes with technology like CNCF Buildpacks, and move up the stack from the automated update of base images that we have today, to addressing all types of software dependencies at scale, for all applications developed at Capital One. Experience with tools that automate dependency updates, as well as an understanding of how Generative AI might play a role in software updates will be valuable. This role will be responsible for big picture thinking, strategic direction, presenting to executive stakeholders, and holding engineering teams accountable for overarching delivery goals.
