About the Team

Cloud Operations Resilience Engineering (CORE) is at the heart of our approach: CORE delivers foundational infrastructure and reliability tooling enabling Capital One to thrive on and within the cloud. To further scale our efforts in this space, we are building a world class Cloud Infrastructure, Reliability, Recovery and AI/ML Data platform for deploying data driven, resilient and customer focused solutions in the Cloud. This work is core to Capital One's mission.

As a Senior Product Manager on the CORE Product team, you will design and deliver best in class, innovative and data driven technology products that delight customers. In this role, you will own and drive Observability across the CapitalOne Cloud ecosystem of AWS, GCP and Azure by collecting key inventory attributes, configurations, relationships & dependencies, then enriching and delivering the data to internal customers via APIs, UI visualizations. This key area drives unparalleled visibility into CapitalOne Cloud and supports SRE, DevOps, Cyber, Analytics, Governance and other Enterprise use cases. We're passionate about building platform software for the next generation of technologists at Capital One and are looking for someone excited to build tech platforms at scale.

You will set long-term strategy, collaborate on build-vs-buy decisions at enterprise scale, and guide Capital One's software engineers and site reliability engineers toward well-managed, well-governed cloud observability infrastructure. You will also interact with our AI/ML teams to apply new, greenfield use cases to our observability data.

Transformational Teamwork

• Comfortable working in the gray space: you are comfortable working through ambiguity and the change management that comes with it

We are looking for candidates who are:

• Communicator & Influencer. You can communicate complex ideas clearly regardless of your audience. Our team knows their priorities and why they're doing what they're doing. You always can rally associates to work with you
