About the Team

As a Capital One Machine Learning Engineer (MLE), you will join an Agile team dedicated to productionizing machine learning applications and systems at scale. Our mission is to bridge the gap between data science innovation and real-world business impact, ensuring that machine learning solutions are robust, scalable, and ready for the demands of a financial services environment.

About the Role

This Senior Lead position sits at the intersection of Operations, Modeling, and Data Engineering.

You will collaborate closely with Product and Data Science teams to translate theoretical models into production-ready solutions. A key part of your day involves ensuring that models are well-governed, following best practices in Responsible and Explainable AI, and that the underlying code is secure, maintainable, and optimized for performance.

As a leader, you will guide the development of optimized data pipelines and cloud-based architectures, while mentoring teams to adopt continuous integration and deployment best practices. You will have the opportunity to continuously learn and apply the latest innovations in machine learning engineering, driving the evolution of our platform to serve millions of customers.
