How do we do things at Capital One Canada? We listen - to our people, and to our customers. We change with the times and have adopted a flexible hybrid model.

Associates working in the hybrid model are expected to come into the office 3 days a week across Tuesdays and Thursdays, reserving Mondays and Fridays as company-wide virtual days.

As was true before the pandemic, expectations of being in the office will be balanced with personal life flexibility.

At Capital One 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.

Strive to build a culture where diverse perspectives are valued, innovative ideas are encouraged and to help challenge the status quo and create the best outcomes for everyone.

We're focused on helping associates live well-physically, financially and emotionally. When you join us, we support you and those who are most important to you, offering full coverage for spouses, domestic partners, and dependents.

We've designed our benefits program to be flexible, comprehensive and consistent across our organization. From health and fitness center discounts, to training and professional development programs-and much more-you'll discover that Capital One is committed to helping you live your best life.

A day in the life of a Capital One Staff Engineer

As a Solution Architect at Capital One Software Studio, you will orchestrate the creation of technology solutions that align with our business goals.

Your day begins with a review of ongoing solution designs that are in different phases of their life cycles. You'll spend your time designing scalable and secure solution architectures, evaluating new technologies, and overseeing the development of high-level designs (HLD).

You will engage in dynamic collaboration with cross-functional teams to advocate for best practices in architecture and design.

For the new projects, you will closely work with your business partners to create sound business architectures. By day's end, you will have contributed to solutions and strategies that will shape our future, ensuring that all solutions are not only innovative but also follow our architectural and security standards.

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. So, let's do something great together.
