Capital One is seeking a Senior Director of Software Engineering to lead, manage, mentor, and build extremely talented software engineering teams to deliver a game changing SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and SOAR (Security, Orchestration, Automation & Response) technologies and experience for our security teams. This person must have the ability to attract and recruit the industry’s best talent, and simultaneously have the technical chops to ensure that we build compelling, customer oriented solutions in an iterative methodology.
