You will work with
You will lead a high-energy, top-performing team of engineers and product managers, working alongside technology and business leaders to shape the vision and drive the execution of progressive platform initiatives that make a real impact.
Let me tell you about the role
The Senior Enterprise Technology Engineer provides engineering leadership across bp's digital landscape, connecting squads with bp's platforms and engineering capabilities to deliver high-quality, scalable, and resilient solutions aligned to business strategy. They lead end-to-end technical delivery, ensure engineering integrity at scale, and actively manage delivery and technical risk while guiding teams through complex build challenges.
Operating as a hands-on technical leader with strong customer and stakeholder influence, they balance long-term engineering excellence with near-term delivery outcomes, empowering squads to make sound technical decisions and fostering a unified, pragmatic, and sustainable engineering culture across bp.
This role will play a key leadership position in delivering modern B2B customer portal and commerce capabilities, working closely with customer engagement platforms, product teams, architecture teams, SAP teams, and engineering squads to maximise reuse of shared platform capabilities and accelerate delivery through modern composable architecture principles.
What you will deliver
Technology
Leads a team of enterprise engineers to design, develop, and deliver high-quality platforms and services. Acts as a hands-on technical authority on bp's platforms, languages, and frameworks, including Node.js, TypeScript, React, GraphQL, cloud-native architectures, and enterprise integration patterns. Drives squad goals, prioritises initiatives, and delivers in a product-led, empowered environment. Guides modernisation of legacy estates to unlock future capabilities.
Delivery & Transformation
Owns end-to-end delivery of complex B2B commerce and customer portal transformation programmes, from discovery through build, migration, cutover, and hypercare. Manages delivery risk, sequencing, and dependencies across squads, vendors, and SI partners. Ensures legacy-to-modern transitions are planned for coexistence, data migration, and minimal business disruption.
Drives adoption of MACH and composable architecture principles, ensuring alignment with strategic customer engagement platforms through reuse of shared capabilities, APIs, services, and design patterns.
Data
Engineers data-intensive solutions and integration flows across enterprise systems. Builds secure, governed, and interoperable data pipelines with strong quality, lineage, and observability. Designs and governs API-led and event-driven integration architectures using REST, GraphQL, OData, SAP integration patterns, and enterprise messaging solutions.
Commercial Awareness
Applies engineering insight to cost and value priorities, including cloud spend and TCO. Evaluates tools and platforms for fit, resilience, and lock-in risk to inform build-vs-buy decisions.
Safety, Security & Compliance
Embeds secure-by-design practices and supports audit, licensing, and compliance obligations as part of routine delivery.
Collaboration & Influence
Acts as a technical expert, providing guidance and support to the squad and wider engineering community. Communicates clearly with team members, partners, and customers. Represents engineering in governance and design forums to resolve technical trade-offs.
Leads and governs delivery partners, system integrators, and product vendors, ensuring architectural and engineering standards are upheld across the extended delivery ecosystem.
Works closely with Product, UX, Architecture, SAP, Integration, and Platform teams to ensure solutions align with strategic platform roadmaps and maximise reuse of common capabilities and technical assets.
Building Teams
Shapes squad structures, tech-lead roles, and engineering capacity for complex programmes. Develop an inclusive, high-performing engineering culture through technical leadership and collaboration.
Growing People
Mentors engineers across grades and supports succession planning. Promotes standard methodologies, maintainable code, clear documentation, and high-quality work.
Change Leadership
Leads engineering transformation and adoption of modern practices, including DevSecOps, SRE, platform engineering, cloud-native delivery, composable architecture, and AI-assisted development. Ensures quality in enterprise platform engineering at the squad level and owns the engineering narrative for change.
