Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Study International Full time
Job Description

As a key member of the bp Pulse Digital Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in driving our ambition to foster a world-class software engineering team, environment, and culture at a global scale.

You will work closely with and be supported by HO Digital Engineering and Engineering Leads to lead, motivate, and develop the capabilities of your team to support our aggressive goals and expansion into new regions.

The scale we operate at presents some unique challenges and requires us to push for exceptionally high-quality work by motivating and empowering engineers to make an impact.

You will work closely with your peers who are technical leaders in Digital, Hardware, Architecture, Delivery, QA, and Security to ensure the delivery of secure and scalable software using good practice, through transparent leadership, mentorship, and guidance for your team.

Key Responsibilities & Tasks
  • Building successful teams – nurture and protect a fun, trusting, rewarding, and innovative culture within your team that lives and breathes the bp values. Create and sustain the environment where your team can be successful, even if they are a mix of permanent and contract/consulting staff.
  • Software engineering – model the attitude and behavior of a Tech Lead you want to work with. Help your team use tests to guide everything they do.
  • Emergent design – reflect on the team's designs and help them constantly seek out opportunities to improve them through refactoring, in both pairing and group contexts. Help team members defer decisions which are not crucial now, and coach them to identify when the responsible moment will come. Use software design patterns to aid design conversations and share ideas.
  • Delivering and running your systems – search out ways to optimize deployment steps and to use deployment automation tools for the benefit of the whole team. Help them spot errors and failures, diagnose root causes, replicate them in non-prod environments, and deliver the relevant changes to restore a stable service.
  • Evolutionary architecture – help the team break down the most complex features into smaller incremental and testable pieces. Take calculated risks when limited information is available and maintain focus in high-change and complex work environments.
  • Continuous improvement – constantly keep half an eye on optimizing your software, tools, and practices for flow and feedback.
  • Cross-discipline collaboration – work closely with your product, digital engineering, and platform architecture peers to ensure your systems scale, perform, and remain decoupled, complementing the broader technical vision for the company.
  • Delegation – delegate in a way that builds capability within your team, improving the quality of the outcome by drawing on everyone's strengths and abilities.
  • Coaching – consistently grow/develop the skills and improve the performance of individuals on your team.
  • Performance Management – ensure clarity by setting expectations.
Knowledge & Experience
  • Degree qualified in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or similar relevant field desirable (preferred) plus at least 5 years' experience in a comparable IT leadership role.
  • Proven track record of performing in high-intensity environments, operating within tight financial resources, and meeting challenging deadlines while keeping the health of teams in mind.
  • Solid track record of addressing customer needs through innovative use of technology – both hardware and software. Use language and framework features (at least one of Golang/Ruby) appropriately to create robust and extensible code for more complex domains and business rules. Understand framework features and trade-offs as well as the use-cases of different data stores and can choose the appropriate one for a given architecture.
  • Knowledge and appreciation of cloud services (ideally Amazon Web Services/Kubernetes), web standards, and IoT devices as well as (ideally) electronic vehicle charging and associated open standards.

At bp, we provide an excellent working environment and employee benefits such as an open and inclusive culture, a great work-life balance, tremendous learning and development opportunities to craft your career path, life and health insurance, medical care package, and many others.

Reinvent your career as you help our business meet the challenges of the future.
