Our Capital One Software Studio.

Since 2014, Capital One Canada’s software studio has grown from a team of 10 to a team of over 250. We’re passionate about what we do, and we’re always on the lookout for people who want to make a difference in the world of credit through technology. We’re obsessed with doing the right thing, and we achieve that by finding innovative ways to better serve our customers.

We’re searching for engaged and motivated people at the Associate Level for our Arcus Engineering Enablement team. We want someone who has a passion for making engineers’ lives better.

Working with us.

How do we do things at Capital One? We listen — to our people, and to our customers. We change with the times, currently working remotely with plans to move to a flexible hybrid model (remote and/or in-office) in the future. A flexible hybrid working model is one that creates the opportunity to match the work that we do to the environment that best supports that work. We recognize that everyone has a unique working pattern so we’re open to discussing flexible working arrangements that will best accommodate you.

At Capital One Canada the health and safety of our associates, customers and communities are our highest priorities and as a result, our offices are currently closed. When and how we transition from virtual to flexible hybrid will be guided by local government and health authority guidance.

We want our associates to have a voice, and we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging. We give everyone a seat at the table, bringing together different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences 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 centres and 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 an Enablement Engineer

At Capital One, we do DevOps differently, our team sees our goal as empowering our feature teams to deliver well-engineered and well-managed solutions by automating away the goo. Our team helped build the CI/CD framework that’s become the standard for the entire engineering organization. Our team builds tools with Developer Experience at their heart and that software quality and craftsmanship forms the foundation of anything we build. We advocate for best practices across the Canada division and the Enterprise at large. We design solutions together and consider everyone’s input regardless of title. For a small team we have a big impact while remembering to have fun!

New or early in your Software Development career? Our team is a cordial team that deeply cares about each other but also Software Craftsmanship, code quality, and developer experience. We believe in mentoring our new members so they can accelerate their software development career and learn more in 1 year than in 10 at other companies? Have you ever wanted to see what it takes to build truly great tools that empower developers to ship awesome products to the AWS cloud? Then you’ve come to the right place!

What we build.

Here are a few 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 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.
