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 the world of 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.

Team Description

Have you ever seen the headline in the news “ Banks Pass Federal Reserve Stress Tests ” and wondered how Capital One determines how much savings (or “capital”) it needs? Or maybe how we analyze the potential impact of the next recession? At the heart of these questions are sophisticated econometric loss models that help us understand the ways in which the economy impacts our loan portfolios and guide strategic decision making at the highest levels of Capital One.

In the Consumer Credit Risk Management Models and Data Team, we blend cutting-edge quantitative methods, with a deep understanding of our business, data, and regulatory environment to build and deploy predictive models for losses, account volumes and outstanding balances. These models drive key strategic decisions for loss allowances, stress testing, and capital allocation as well as informing our earnings calls and recession preparedness.

If this sounds interesting to you, join us! As a Data Scientist on the deployment & platform side of the team, you’ll be at the forefront helping us to usher in the next wave of disruption by using the latest technology to deploy, optimize and modernize model pipelines and execution platforms that enable machine learning models to provide powerful insights about our portfolio and growth opportunities through new data sources. You will partner with best-in-class data scientists, analysts, and engineers to innovate solutions that directly impact the company’s bottom line in a meaningful way. You will do it all in a collaborative environment that values your insight, encourages you to take on new responsibilities, promotes continuous learning, and rewards innovation.

Role Description

In this role, you will:

  • Partner with a cross-functional team of data scientists, software engineers, and product managers to deliver a product customers love

  • Leverage a broad stack of technologies — Python, Conda, AWS, H2O, Spark, and more — to reveal the insights hidden within huge volumes of numeric and textual data

  • Optimize and deploy machine learning models through all phases of development, from design through training, evaluation, validation, and implementation

  • Flex your interpersonal skills to translate the complexity of your work into tangible business goals

The Ideal Candidate is:

  • Customer first. You love the process of analyzing and creating, but also share our passion to do the right thing. You know at the end of the day it’s about making the right decision for our customers.

  • A leader. You challenge conventional thinking and work with stakeholders to identify and improve the status quo. You're passionate about talent development for your own team and beyond.

  • Technical. You’re comfortable with open-source languages and are passionate about developing further. You have hands-on experience developing data science solutions using open-source tools and cloud computing platforms.

  • Statistically-minded. You’ve built models, validated them, and backtested them. You know how to interpret a confusion matrix or a ROC curve. You have experience with clustering, classification, sentiment analysis, time series, and deep learning.

  • A data guru. “Big data” doesn’t faze you. You have the skills to retrieve, combine, and analyze data from a variety of sources and structures. You know understanding the data is often the key to great data science.
