They're a financial services company with a tech mindset that runs throughout the business, setting them apart from others in the industry. They're organized into tribes, with each tribe made up of small teams that have autonomy in designing, developing and deploying applications into the cloud.

What you’ll do

• You’ll work within the mobile platform engineering team they have at Capital One. They own the mobile platforms and set the pace for the multiple mobile engineering teams within the business.

• Their fully native mobile apps are their customers' favorite way to interact with them so you will be integral to their experience.

• Write well-factored, well-tested code both in the Android app and backend orchestration services.

• Work with senior engineers across other teams to ensure that their mobile offering stays compelling both for end-users and for the engineers working on it.

• Maintain a strong questioning (but diplomatic!) attitude about the way things are and a relentless focus on making it better by driving best current engineering practices across Capital One mobile communities of practice.

• You’ll work to achieve the goals and vision shared by Product Management and your more senior Tribe community.

• Innovate within your team, initiative area and contribute within your technical domain.

• Be a helpful, approachable and inquisitive problem-solver with excellent technical, supportive and communication skills and a demonstrable track record of continuous learning and improvement, to help them deliver frequent releases of high quality software in a complex regulated environment.

What they're looking for:

• ​Strong programming skills with a good knowledge of Kotlin and Java alongside modern Android toolsets like Android Studio, JUnit and Espresso.

• A capable, technical lead, who is willing to help grow and guide more junior engineers towards appropriate target architectures.

• A deep understanding of the Android platform and how it can be leveraged on a large enterprise scale consisting of multiple teams.

• You’re excited by the cloud/AWS and the opportunities that it brings.

• You’re able to effectively communicate and work together across engineering to maximize inner-sourcing opportunities and reduce waste.

• You’ll have a proven ability to deliver high quality applications at scale.

• You’re an advocate for quality and can support the team leveraging approaches such as Pair Programming, TDD and BDD.

• An interest in learning new languages, tools, libraries and frameworks.
