My name is Brennan Biddle and I'm a recruiter for Capital One Labs- the Digital Research and Development depsrtment at Capital One. We're looking for a permanent full-time Data Visualization Manager to support our team based in Midtown Manhattan.

Please take a look at our Job Description and let me know if you or any peers are interested.

My email is Brennan...@CapitalOne.com

At Capital One, data is at the center of everything we do. When we were a tiny startup we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and that little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making.

On the Data Team at Capital One Labs, you’ll be part of a group that’s leading the next wave of data-driven disruption at a whole new scale. Our small team has an outsized impact because we focus not just on solving tough consumer or modeling challenges, but on building reusable parts, like shared software libraries, training modules, or enabling tools and platforms.

As a Data Visualization Engineer on the Lab’s Customer Insights program, you’ll be leveraging the incredible rising tide of visualization frameworks, libraries, tools and techniques to bring new levels of customer understanding to our analysts, call center agents and executives.

On any given day in the Lab you’ll be:
• Developing a meaningful, extensible design language that succinctly communicates complex interactions and experiences
• Building static, dynamic, or interactive visualizations and data-driven products that communicate the patterns of customer experience
• Exploring and evaluating the next generation of tools and techniques that help us move faster, tell richer stories, and make complex things a bit simpler
• Leading our analysts into the new wave of visualization technologies by sharing and building inspirational examples
• Sharing demos of your latest work with executives, peers, and curious onlookers inside and outside Capital One

Twenty-five years after Capital One was started it’s still led by its founder. Be ready to join a community of the smartest folks you’ve ever met, who see the customer first, and want to use their data skills to make a difference.

Ideal Qualifications:
• Curious. You ask why, you explore, you're not afraid to blurt out your crazy idea. You probably have a fancy diploma and an impressive GPA, or you dropped out of college, taught yourself and are a open source committer
• Wrangler. You know how to move data around, from a database or an API, parsing and cleaning it as needed, and have a suite of techniques you could use to render it in a useful, visual way. You probably know Python, Java, and Processing, or think every problem can be solved in Javascript.
• Do-er. You have a bias toward action, you try things, and sometimes you fail. Expect to tell us what you’ve shipped and what’s flopped.
• Fearless. Big, undefined problems and petabytes don't frighten you. You can work at a tiny crack until you've broken open the whole nut.

Basic Qualifications:
• At least a Master’s Degree and a minimum of 3 years’ experience OR a Bachelor’s Degree and a minimum of 6 years of experience
• At least 3 years’ experience in open source programming languages appropriate for large scale visualization of numerical and textual data
• At least 3 years’ experience working with data streams
• At least 3 years’ experience working with relational databases
• At least 3 years’ experience with SQL

Preferred Qualifications:
• PhD
• 4+ years’ experience in open source programming languages appropriate for large scale visualization of numerical and textual data
• 4+ years’ experience working with data streams
• 4+ years’ experience working with relational databases
• 4+ years’ experience with SQL
