Executive Silver Point Capital Jobs in Delaware (NOW HIRING)

Distinguished Engineer -Developer Insights & AI Telemetry

As a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One, you will be part of a community of technical experts working to define the future of banking in the cloud. You will operate as a hands-on technical visionary, leading the strategy, implementation, and long-term vision for our enterprise Developer Insights domain, with a dedicated focus on Data Engineering strategies, ML/AI engineering, distributed AI telemetry, and AI Insights.

In this role, you will work alongside our talented team of developers, data engineers, machine learning experts, product managers, and people leaders. Our domain-driven organizational structure drives higher accountability and ownership, empowering you to bridge the gap between deep technical implementation and executive-level business value. You will champion Capital One's native, vendor-agnostic AI impact telemetry platform, scaling it into an enterprise-grade "Mission Control" layer that captures, analyzes, and optimizes human-AI collaboration for multi-disciplinary users.

If you are ready to provide thought leadership, inject high-engineering rigor into the software delivery lifecycle, and build engineering excellence across Capital One, come join us in our mission to change banking for good.

Key Responsibilities

• Vision & Strategy: Architect the long-term enterprise roadmap for distributed AI telemetry, streaming data engineering, and automated developer insight frameworks.

• Enterprise Scaling & Telemetry: Lead the technical evolution of our internal developer telemetry platform from a high-performance Agent Hook Architecture into a stateless, low-latency utility capable of handling billions of annual high-fidelity events across global regions.

• ML/AI & Intelligence Layer: Spearhead the deployment of advanced inference capabilities, including LLM-as-a-Judge models, to autonomously score code complexity, categorize AI use cases (e.g., Core Logic vs. Testing), and calculate the TrueThroughput and return on investment (ROI) of generative AI tools.

• Data Engineering & Architecture: Own the end-to-end data strategy, shifting from traditional batch reporting to real-time event-driven architectures utilizing a scalable Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) data structure feeding directly into our enterprise data lake.

• Business Metric Correlation: Partner with Bank Tech Analytics to link AI code density data and telemetry directly with core business outcomes-such as lowering Feature Lead Time (FLT) and PR cycle time-without compromising quality and risk bars.

• Risk & Privacy Governance: Design and enforce rigorous privacy-by-design principles, implementing automated PII masking, token management, and secret filtering to guarantee a completely safe space for engineering innovation.

• Culture & Technical Contribution: Lead through direct technical contribution-prototyping systems, evaluating build vs. buy paths, authoring code patterns, and deeply mentoring principal and senior engineers across the Developer Enablement tower.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree.

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or enterprise architecture.

• At least 5 years of experience with big data engineering, distributed computing, or data architecture (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Kinesis, ClickHouse, Snowflake, or cloud data warehouses).

• At least 3 years of experience with Big Data and data streaming

• At least 4 years of experience building and optimizing production-grade ML/AI lifecycles, pipelines, or frameworks.

• At least 2 years of cloud computing experience (AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud).

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

• 10+ years of professional experience coding in commonly used languages like Python, Go, Java, or TypeScript.

• 6+ years of experience designing and managing high-throughput distributed streaming architectures or edge collection telemetry platforms (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Protobuf interception hooks).

• 3+ years of experience in a technical leadership role directly influencing VP/SVP/Executive stakeholders on multi-million dollar technology or AI strategy initiatives.

• Deep understanding of compliance, data privacy, and cybersecurity constraints within a highly regulated environment (BankTech), including experience co-authoring risk assessments alongside Cyber and Risk teams.

• Proven track record of operating within a product-centric organization (Domain Category Owner/Technical Product Owner model), delivering tactical values in continuous validation cycles.

• Experience utilizing advanced engineering metrics (DORA, SPACE, AI Telemetry, Feature Lead Time) to demonstrate how developer tool investments translate into measurable corporate velocity and efficiency gains.
