An F1 OPT job refers to employment that a student on F-1 visa status can undertake under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. OPT allows international students in the U.S. to gain temporary work experience related to their field of study for up to 12 months (or up to 36 months for STEM graduates with an extension). The job must be directly related to the student's academic major, and they must obtain authorization from USCIS before starting work.

What are some common challenges F1 OPT employees may face in the workplace, and how can they be addressed?

F1 OPT employees may encounter challenges such as adapting to U.S. workplace culture, managing visa and work authorization deadlines, and navigating professional growth in a limited work period. Many companies provide orientation sessions, mentorship programs, and ongoing HR support to help new hires adjust and remain compliant with regulations. Proactively communicating with supervisors, seeking feedback, and engaging in continuous learning can help maximize both performance and personal growth. Employers and colleagues are often supportive resources, especially for questions related to compliance or cultural adaptation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the F1 OPT position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an F1 OPT (Optional Practical Training) employee, you need a relevant degree from a U.S. educational institution, strong technical or functional expertise in your field of study, and eligibility for F1 OPT status. Familiarity with work authorization documentation systems, payroll procedures, and company onboarding software is important for seamless integration into the workplace. Excellent communication, adaptability, and cross-cultural collaboration skills help OPT employees excel in diverse and fast-paced environments. These abilities are crucial for navigating work authorization requirements, integrating into U.S. teams, and maximizing professional development during the OPT period.

Lead Software Engineer (Finance Tech)

Do you love building and pioneering in the technology space? Do you enjoy solving complex business problems in a fast-paced, collaborative, inclusive, and iterative delivery environment? At Capital One, you'll be part of a big group of makers, breakers, doers and disruptors, who solve real problems and meet real customer needs. We are seeking Lead Software Engineers who are passionate about marrying data with emerging technologies. As a Capital One Lead Software Engineer, youโ€™ll have the opportunity to be on the forefront of driving a major transformation within Capital One.

Finance Tech is responsible for transforming Capital One's financial engine into the most trusted, nimble, and insightful in the industry. Our core mission is to engineer outcomes that strategically enable the Finance organization and the broader Enterprise to remain efficient. This mission is driven by four technical and functional pillars: Forecasting & Resiliency, providing advanced decision support; Treasury & Trade managing sophisticated cash and investment lifecycles; and Accounting & Reporting, ensuring the integrity of our general ledger and regulatory commitments. Powering these pillars are our Data and Core capabilities, which manage the orchestration, sourcing, and pipelines for critical financial data products.

By defining the next generation of financial technology, we ensure that every business process is backed by high fidelity tracking and reporting. Together, we are not just supporting the bottom line - we are building a strategic enabler that operates as a world class financial engine.

What Youโ€™ll Do:
  • Lead a portfolio of diverse technology projects and a team of developers with deep experience in distributed microservices, and full stack systems to create solutions that help meet regulatory needs for the company

  • Share your passion for staying on top of tech trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, participating in internal & external technology communities, mentoring other members of the engineering community

  • Collaborate with digital product managers, and deliver robust cloud-based solutions that drive powerful experiences to help millions of Americans achieve financial empowerment

  • Utilize programming languages like Java, Python, SQL, Node, Go, and Scala, Open Source RDBMS and NoSQL databases, Container Orchestration services including Docker and Kubernetes, and a variety of AWS tools and services

Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelorโ€™s Degree

  • At least 4 years of experience in software engineering (Internship experience does not apply)

  • At least 1 year experience with cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master's Degree

  • 7+ years of experience in at least one of the following: Java, Python, Scala, or Go

  • 3+ years of experience with AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, or another cloud service

  • 4+ years of experience in open source frameworks

  • 1+ years of people management experience

  • 2+ years of experience in Agile practices

  • Experience leveraging interactive AI tooling to accelerate productivity, utilizing capabilities beyond basic code completion

At this time, Capital One will not sponsor a new applicant for employment authorization, or offer any immigration related support for this position (e.g. H1B, F1 OPT, F1 STEM OPT, F1 CPT, J-1, TN, E-3, and O-1, or any other forms of work authorization that require immigration support from an employer).
