If you think Capital One is just a credit card provider, think again. In many ways, we're as much a technology business as a finance company. We pioneered the use of predictive modelling in this industry, and today we still look at credit the way tech companies look at everything – with a view to changing the way people live. This is why Software Engineers are essential to our business.
One of the happy consequences of making finance easier for our customers is that Capital One is an inspiring place to launch your career. Join us, and you can expect early responsibility as you take on meaningful work in collaborative teams.
We are committed to creating a level playing field and seek to create teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve. We’d love to hear from you if you identify with an under-represented group in our industry and are particularly keen to hear from women, the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minority candidates.
We want to help you grow. That’s why we invest heavily in your learning and development. We’ve got a great track record of hiring graduates and enabling them to reach their full potential. Just look at our CEO, Lucy Hagues. She started as a graduate and now leads the UK business. And that’s just one of many success stories.
Software Engineers at Capital One
Our software engineers challenge the status quo and make an impact on millions of customers every single day. And that's what makes engineering at Capital One like nowhere else.
As part of our Software Academy, you’ll learn how to build great systems, languages, tools and frameworks. That’s going to involve working across several teams, using the latest JavaScript frameworks for web development, native iOS and Android mobile development, plus Cloud-hosted microservices.
You’ll learn about Quality Engineering, spend time in our Development Tools team, and support our drive to AWS in Infrastructure Engineering. And in Cyber, you’ll make sure our systems are watertight – safe and secure.
What you’ll need
You'll need baseline coding skills in any language, but you don't necessarily need a background in Computer Science. And because you'll be working across multiple channels, we’ll want to see the flexibility and aptitude for learning it takes to master lots of different tech.
Where and how you'll work
This is a permanent graduate position based in our Nottingham or London offices. But you should know we’ve adopted a flexible hybrid working model - one that creates the opportunity to work both remotely and in our offices, which provide great spaces for in-person collaboration.
Our core office days are Tuesday and Wednesday, but the number of days you actually spend in the office will be led by your team, the work you’re doing. Many of our associates have flexible working patterns, so we’re open to discuss flexible working arrangements with you.
Capital One is committed to diversity in the workplace.
