Data Analyst

Description:

At Capital One, data is at the center of everything we do. When we launched as a 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 this 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. As a Data Analyst at Capital One, you’ll be part of a team that’s leading the next wave of disruption at a whole new scale, using the latest in distributed computing technologies and operating across billions and billions of customer transactions to unlock the big opportunities that help everyday people save money, time, and agony in their financial lives.

Responsibilities:

• Writing SQL to clean, transform, investigate data.

• Working closely with business partners to harness the power of data in compliance testing.

• Designing rich data visualizations to communicate complex ideas.

• Ensure data and intent integrity by automated data quality verification pipelines.

• Supporting and consulting with the business to propagate data management best practices.

• Investigating the impact of new technologies on the future of digital banking and the financial world of tomorrow.

• Investigating the use of technology to automate compliance testing.

The ideal candidate will be:

• Curious: You ask why, you explore, and you’re not afraid to blurt out your disruptive idea. You know SQL and are constantly exploring new open source tools, and hitting up stack overflow on a regular basis.

• A Wrangler: You know how to programmatically extract data from a database or an API, bring it through a transformation or two, and convert into a human-readable form (Matplotlib, d3 visualization, Tableau, etc.).

• Creative: Big, undefined problems and petabytes of data don’t frighten you. You’re used to working with abstract data, and you love discovering new narratives in un-mined territories.

• Proactive: You will want to share your knowledge with your peers and contribute back to inner/open source projects which you might consume.

Basic Qualifications:

• Will obtain or have obtained a Bachelor’s degree or higher and graduating in 2025-2026
