About Capital One Canada.
For 30 years, we’ve been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you!
About the Team:
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.
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.
