- # Distinguished Software EngineerApplylocations: McLean, VA: New York, NY: Wilmington, DE: Philadelphia, PAtime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: R245242Distinguished Software EngineerAs a **Distinguished Engineer** in Solutions Engineering, you will be the technical cornerstone of Bank Tech's internal professional services organization — a team that deploys cross-domain expertise to accelerate Bank Tech's most critical initiatives.Unlike other roles embedded in a single product, you will operate across multiple domains, teams, and technology stacks simultaneously. You will build trusted relationships with senior leaders across Bank Tech, serve as the technical authority on our engagements, and provide hands-on contributions that set the standard for engineering excellence. You will move between high-priority initiatives in a SWAT-style model, rapidly orienting to new problem spaces and delivering technical direction that unblocks teams and de-risks delivery.Our team works on Bank Tech's top priorities: Integration, Modernization, Reliability, Automated Testing, and Machine Learning. You will shape technical strategy across these engagements while mentoring a team of ~30 engineers spanning full-stack development, Cloud/DevOps, SRE, and AI/ML.If you thrive at the intersection of deep technical expertise, relationship building, and rapid context switching — and you want to have outsized impact across the entire bank rather than a single product — this role is for you**.**## ## **Key Responsibilities******Technical Leadership & Hands-On Contribution***** Provide hands-on technical contributions across active engagements — architecture decisions, code reviews, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts that set the quality bar* Define and drive technical direction for engagements spanning multiple domains (payments, account servicing, observability, cloud infrastructure, ML)* Decompose complex, ambiguous problems into practical solutions with clear milestones and exit criteria* Ensure non-functional quality across engagements: performance, scalability, operability, and security* Make pragmatic technology choices that balance engineering ideals with delivery timelines****Relationship Building & Stakeholder Influence***** Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with VPs, Senior Directors, and engineering leaders across Bank Tech* Communicate technical strategy, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders* Navigate organizational complexity — understand who owns what, how decisions get made, and how to unblock teams through influence rather than authority* Represent Solutions Engineering credibility in intake conversations, helping sponsors understand what's possible and scoping engagements realistically* Partner with receiving teams during knowledge transfer to ensure clean handovers and long-term ownership****Domain Expertise & Bank Context***** Develop and maintain deep knowledge of Bank Tech's systems landscape: payments, account servicing, data platforms, core banking systems, and cloud infrastructure* Leverage understanding of how the bank's technical systems interconnect to identify risks, dependencies, and integration challenges early* Apply institutional context to accelerate onboarding and delivery — understanding regulatory constraints, deployment patterns, and operational realities that external hires or contractors would miss* Stay current on bank-wide technical strategy and translate that into actionable guidance for engagement teams****Mentorship & Engineering Culture***** Mentor and grow engineers across multiple teams, building a bench of technical leaders who can own engagements independently* Foster a culture of engineering excellence, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing* Lead by example through high-quality technical contributions, clear documentation, and principled decision-making* Actively recruit and develop talent suited to the unique demands of a professional services engineering model****Engagement Model***** Operate effectively in a SWAT-style model: rapidly orient to new problem domains, deliver high-impact contributions in compressed timelines, then transition cleanly to the next priority* Balance multiple concurrent engagements, allocating time and attention to maximize organizational impact* Thrive with variety — this role serves multiple stakeholders across different domains rather than deep-diving into a single product for years# # **Basic Qualifications*** Bachelor's Degree* At least 7 years of experience in software engineering* At least 7 years of experience with cloud computing (AWS)* At least 5 years of experience working across multiple technical domains or in a consulting/professional services engineering capacity# # **Preferred Qualifications*** Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science or a related field* 10+ years of software engineering experience with broad exposure across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and application development* 10+ years of professional experience in Java, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar* 8+ years of full lifecycle system development — conception through architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support* Experience at Capital One or a large financial institution with understanding of regulated environments, compliance requirements, and enterprise-scale systems* Demonstrated track record of building relationships and influencing technical decisions across organizational boundaries without direct authority* Experience leading technical direction in a consulting, professional services, or rotational engineering model where context-switching across domains is the norm* Experience with multiple of the following: serverless architectures (Fargate, Lambda), event-driven systems, observability platforms, ML/AI pipelines, automated testing frameworks, cloud migration at scale* Experience leveraging interactive AI tooling to accelerate productivity, utilizing capabilities beyond basic code completion* Strong written and verbal communication skills — ability to produce clear ADRs, technical briefs, and stakeholder-facing materials# # **What Sets This Role Apart****You should apply if:*** You prefer breadth and variety over deep single-product ownership — you'll work across payments, cloud infrastructure, testing, observability, and ML in a single quarter* You are energized by building relationships and earning trust with stakeholders as much as writing code* You excel at rapid context switching — onboarding to a new domain in days, not months* You want outsized organizational impact — your technical decisions will shape the bank's most critical initiatives, not just one team's roadmap**Capital One will consider sponsoring a new qualified applicant for employment authorization for this position.**The minimum and maximum full-time annual salaries for this role are listed below, by location.
