Senior Manager, Data Science – US Card (Upmarket Segments)

Data is at the center of everything we do. As a startup, we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting‑edge technology in 1988. Fast‑forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in data‑driven decision‑making.

As a Data Scientist at Capital One, you’ll be part of a team that’s leading the next wave of disruption at a whole new scale, using the latest in computing and machine learning technologies and operating across billions of customer records to unlock the big opportunities that help everyday people save money, time and agony in their financial lives.
