Capital One has grown from a promising credit card startup into a Fortune 100 company. Our businesses span Card, Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, and Financial Services, backed by an Enterprise Services group that is Capital One's digital and technology backbone.
Within that enterprise, the Global Payment Network (GPN) is one of the company's most ambitious builds: the unification of three legacy networks — Discover Network, PULSE, and Diners Club International — into a single, modern payment network. Rather than three separate acceptance footprints, three separate data models, and three separate operating teams, GPN is being rebuilt from a clean sheet so that a card issued anywhere on the network works everywhere on the network. This is the kind of ground-up platform build most engineers only read about — a chance to define how data moves through one of the largest payment networks in the world, not maintain what's already there.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Senior Staff Full-stack Engineer (IC) for GPN will be responsible for architecting and delivering the real-time and batch data infrastructure that every other team on the network builds on — ingestion, streaming, the canonical data model, and the catalog and metadata layer that gives the network a single source of truth. This role sits at the cross-section of Core Network, Fraud/AML, Analytics, and the Modeling teams building on top of this data, and offers the rare opportunity to define how a payment network's data platform gets built from the ground up rather than inheriting one. A deep understanding of distributed systems, real-time streaming architecture, data modeling at scale, and cloud infrastructure is required. This is a highly visible and influential individual-contributor role, with no direct reports, that requires a combination of deep technical skill, setting vision and architecture, and effective partnership across engineering, data science, product, and risk.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect the real-time, event-driven data pipelines that move authorization, transaction, settlement, and fraud-relevant events across the network with the latency and exactly-once delivery guarantees a payment network requires — this is not a dashboard-refresh pipeline, it is infrastructure fraud and risk decisioning will run on.
- Define the canonical data model that reconciles three legacy schemes — each with its own merchant hierarchies, participant identities, and transaction semantics — into one shared model, with legacy formats translated at the network's edge only, never propagated inward.
- Design and build the catalog and metadata layer (schema registry, lineage, data contracts, access policy) that gives every downstream team — fraud models, analytics, canonical modeling — one trustworthy source of truth instead of each team reverse-engineering its own.
- Set the technical architecture and standards for streaming, storage, and low-latency serving at network scale, and serve as an evangelist for data standardization both internally and with the partner teams building on this platform.
- Operate as the deep technical authority and trusted advisor across the data engineering function, reimagining what a modern, portable data platform should look like — favoring open, well-understood components over one-off tooling, so the platform is something new engineers can reason about on day one.
- Partner directly with Fraud/AML, Analytics, and Canonical Modeling leadership so your architecture directly unblocks their roadmaps rather than trailing behind them.
- Mentor and raise the technical bar for engineers across the organization, acting as a force multiplier on a brand-new network build without owning a reporting chain of your own.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's Degree or higher in Computer Science or a related quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering)
- At least 9 years of experience in all of the following:
- Software engineering and solution architecture
- Enterprise architecture and design patterns
- Cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)
- Data architecture
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Master’s Degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering
- 12+ years of experience in all of the following:
- Software engineering and solution architecture
- Enterprise architecture and design patterns
- Web technologies (JavaScript, TypeScript and SPA frameworks)
- Designing and building distributed HPC and ML systems
- Cloud computing (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)
- Data architecture
- Deep experience designing event-driven, real-time streaming architectures at scale (e.g. Kafka, Flink, or equivalent)
- Experience with distributed storage, catalog, and metadata/lineage systems (e.g. Iceberg, data lakehouse architectures)
- Experience designing canonical or shared data models that unify disparate or legacy systems
- Experience architecting high-availability, low-latency distributed systems in a regulated, high-stakes domain (payments, fraud, financial transaction processing, or similar)
Capital One will consider sponsoring a new qualified applicant for employment authorization for this position.
COMPENSATION
- McLean, VA: $314,800 - $359,300 for Sr. Staff Full-stack Engineer
- New York, NY: $343,400 - $392,000 for Sr. Staff Full-stack Engineer

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Staff Engineer
Verify your degree aligns with the role
Senior Staff Engineer positions require a directly related degree field, not just any engineering background. A degree in civil engineering won't support a software infrastructure role. Cross-check your specific degree discipline against the job's technical requirements before applying.
Search for employers using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Staff Engineer roles by employers with active H-1B1 Chile visa filing history. DOL Labor Condition Application data shows which companies have sponsored this visa category for engineering roles, so you're targeting verified sponsors, not guessing.
Confirm the prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for Senior Staff Engineer in their specific location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC code 15-1252 before your offer conversation so you know the floor and can negotiate from an informed position.
Ask employers about their LCA timeline upfront
Unlike H-1B visa, H-1B1 Chile requires a fresh LCA for every two-year renewal. Ask hiring managers whether their legal team files LCAs in-house or through outside counsel, since slow LCA processing can create gaps if you're already working in the U.S. on a prior status.
Prepare a specialty occupation evidence packet
Consular officers assess whether Senior Staff Engineer duties require a specific degree field. Bring your job offer letter, an O*NET occupation profile printout for your SOC code, and your academic transcripts to demonstrate the direct connection between your credentials and the role's technical requirements.
Use the H-1B1 Chile cap to time your consulate visit
The H-1B1 Chile annual cap of 1,400 visas resets each October 1. Because usage rarely approaches the cap, you can schedule your Santiago consulate appointment at any point in the fiscal year without worrying about cutoff dates the way H-1B applicants must.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Staff Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation under the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes. Senior Staff Engineer positions typically require at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a directly related technical field, which satisfies the H-1B1 Chile specialty occupation standard. The key is that your specific degree discipline must align with the role's duties. A generalist business degree wouldn't qualify, but an electrical, software, or systems engineering degree will in most cases.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from the H-1B for Senior Staff Engineers?
The H-1B1 Chile visa has no lottery, a dedicated annual cap of 1,400 visas that has never filled, and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Santiago rather than through USCIS. H-1B requires employer petition filing with USCIS and subjects you to a random lottery with roughly 25% selection odds. For Chilean professionals, H-1B1 Chile is a direct consular path that bypasses the lottery entirely.
How do I find Senior Staff Engineer employers who sponsor the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Migrate Mate filters Senior Staff Engineer roles by employers with documented H-1B1 Chile visa filing history using DOL Labor Condition Application data. This lets you target companies that have already sponsored Chilean nationals in engineering roles, rather than approaching employers who may be unfamiliar with the H-1B1 Chile process and unwilling to navigate it.
Does the H-1B1 Chile visa allow dual intent for Senior Staff Engineers pursuing a green card?
No. The H-1B1 Chile visa does not permit dual intent, meaning you must maintain a nonimmigrant intent and a residence abroad when applying and renewing. Senior Staff Engineers on H-1B1 Chile who want to pursue permanent residency typically need to transition to an H-1B or employment-based immigrant visa category before filing a green card petition.
What happens if my H-1B1 Chile visa expires before my employer files a renewal LCA?
H-1B1 Chile does not carry the same automatic cap-gap protection as H-1B. If your two-year period expires and the new LCA isn't certified in time, you'll need to either stop working or depart the U.S. and re-enter after the consulate issues a renewed visa. Senior Staff Engineers should track renewal timelines carefully and confirm their employer starts the LCA process at least 60 days before expiration. Migrate Mate can help you identify employers with established renewal workflows.
