Front-end Engineer 4

Front-end Engineer 4

Capital One Travel is building a brand-new product area inside Emerging Verticals - a true greenfield bet within the fastest-growing credit card travel portal in the US. You won’t be optimizing an existing product, instead, you’ll be designing and shipping high-impact systems from scratch and defining the technical foundation for a category we expect to scale into a multi-billion-dollar market operation.

This is a rare pitch for true technical ownership. You’ll join a small, entrepreneurial team that is pioneering AI-native development - using tools like Claude to spec, prototype, build, and QA across many surfaces at 10x speed - all backed by Capital One’s massive distribution engine. If you love going zero-to-one, moving fast, and seeing your work reach millions of customers, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Build new, customer-facing products and platform services from the ground up across the front end - from data and APIs through to the experiences customers touch.
• Work AI-natively: use modern AI tooling to prototype, generate, test, and ship features across many different areas and surfaces at a pace traditional teams can’t match.
• Partner directly with product, design, business, and external supply/partner contacts - translating real-world business needs into technical solutions and owning them end-to-end.
• Lead a portfolio of fast-moving projects and help set the engineering bar for a new team, mentoring others and raising the standard for AI-accelerated delivery.
• Make pragmatic architecture decisions for systems that need to scale quickly and reliably as the vertical grows.
• Utilize programming languages like JavaScript (Angular, React, Node), HTML/CSS, TypeScript and Java, open source frameworks, RESTful web services, and work on cross-browser and cross-device development

What We’re Looking For

• Builders who have shipped their own projects end-to-end with AI - not just code-completion, but using AI across the whole build cycle.
• Engineers who move fast in ambiguous, zero-to-one environments and have launched new features at scale.
• People who are comfortable owning business and partner relationships, not just tickets.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree or higher in Computer Science or a related quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering)
• At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience (internship experience does not apply)
• At least 3 years of experience developing applications using TypeScript, HTML, CSS and modern web frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte)

Preferred Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience with TypeScript and JavaScript
• 4+ years of experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue, Svelte), HTML and CSS
• Demonstrated experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, Playwright) and web performance tuning
• Demonstrated experience designing scalable front-end architectures and reusable component libraries
• Experience implementing and maintaining comprehensive automated testing
• Demonstrated experience designing and developing client Backend-for-Frontends (BFFs) to orchestrate data using technologies like GraphQL and efficient networking protocols (e.g., gRPC/Protobuf)
• Demonstrated experience with micro frontend (MFE) architectures or federated architectural patterns
• Demonstrated experience in metrics-driven canary release and feature flag strategies
• Expertise with agentic AI coding tools and AI-assisted workflow patterns
