Full Job Description
Manager, Security Platform Engineering, DLP Control Platform Capital One operates entirely in the public cloud and processes sensitive data at massive scale across every channel where information moves. Our Data Loss Prevention (DLP) program sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, data engineering, and regulatory compliance. We are building a centralized platform that fundamentally changes how data protection policies are defined, how violations are detected and routed, how enforcement is applied, and how controls are validated at enterprise scale. This is a software engineering challenge, not a vendor integration exercise. This role leads the engineering delivery of the DLP Control Platform: a system that centralizes detection logic, enforcement orchestration, and continuous validation into a single platform serving the entire DLP program. You will ship production software, make technical decisions under real constraints, and own the platform's technical direction. A successful candidate combines deep platform engineering experience with enough security and regulatory awareness to build systems that satisfy both engineering standards and examination expectations. You bring clarity to ambiguous problems, ship iteratively, and know how to operate at the intersection of new system development and existing production infrastructure. Note: At Capital One, "Manager" is a senior technical level. This is a 100% hands-on engineering role with no direct reports or people management responsibilities. ## ## ## Job Responsibilities * Lead the technical delivery of a centralized DLP platform that standardizes how data protection policies are authored, how findings are routed and scored, and how enforcement is applied across the program * Design and build platform services using Python, AWS serverless and container infrastructure (ECS Fargate, Lambda, Step Functions, Aurora PostgreSQL, EventBridge), and infrastructure as code (CDK) * Define interface contracts between platform
