Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Drive high-leverage technical initiatives end-to-end while serving as a trusted technical advisor across engineering teams. Establish engineering standards and best practices, including AI-native development patterns, while mentoring engineers across the organization.
Requires a Bachelor's degree and at least 6 years of professional software engineering experience. Candidates must have at least 1 year of experience with cloud computing platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Do you love building and pioneering in the technology space? Do you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, inclusive, and iterative delivery environment? At Capital One, you'll be part of a big group of makers, breakers, doers and disruptors, who solve real problems and meet real customer needs. We are seeking Front End Software Engineers who are passionate about using cutting-edge open source frameworks with emerging technologies. As a Capital One Sr. Lead Software Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of driving a major transformation within Capital One.
Enterprise Platforms Technology (EPTech) comprises many of Capital One’s most important enterprise platforms. We play an essential role in establishing practices for building technology solutions across the company, while also delivering capabilities that exemplify those practices.
In this role as a Senior Lead Software Engineer, you will make significant contributions to the Web Platform domain at Capital One, encompassing three mission-critical systems: the authenticated customer servicing platform, the marketing and acquisition platform, and Capital One's design system. Together, these systems represent multiple "front doors" of the company, directly shaping the digital experience for millions of customers and prospects.
What You’ll Do:
Drive high-leverage technical initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing through implementation and adoption
Operate as a trusted technical advisor across engineering teams, building credibility through expertise and clear communication rather than organizational authority
Own architectural and technical decisions for cross-team initiatives, balancing near-term delivery against long-term platform health
Bring a data-driven approach to technical problems — using evidence to make the case for investment, prioritization, or a change in direction
Establish and evangelize engineering standards and best practices, including AI-native development patterns and agentic tooling adoption
Mentor engineers across the organization and contribute to technical interviewing, onboarding, and community-building efforts
Collaborate with engineering, product, and design leadership to align technical direction with business priorities
Utilize programming languages like JavaScript (Angular, React, Node), HTML/CSS, TypeScript, open source frameworks, and cross-browser/cross-device development practices
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor’s Degree
At least 6 years of professional software engineering experience (Internship experience does not apply)
At least 1 year experience with cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)
Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s Degree
9+ years of experience in at least one of the following: JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Node, or TypeScript
Experience operating as a senior individual contributor without formal management responsibility, driving outcomes through influence and technical credibility
4+ years of experience in open source frameworks
Deep expertise in web performance, accessibility, and design systems at scale
Experience with web testing tooling and frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, Playwright)
Experience working on large-scale web platforms serving high-traffic, customer-facing experiences
2+ years of experience in Agile practices
Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical training/enablement efforts
Experience leveraging interactive AI tooling to accelerate productivity, utilizing capabilities beyond basic code completion
