• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including technology teams and external vendors, to ensure enterprise solutions align with business objectives.
• Lead and mentor a team of engineers, providing technical guidance and fostering a culture of growth and continuous learning.
• Contribute to strategic decision-making for enterprise investments, cybersecurity risk mitigation, and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to shape a long-term technology roadmap that reduces operational burdens, ensures scalability, and improves operational sustainability.
• Align cross-team priorities to improve BP’s ability to scale efficiently and securely.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Deep knowledge of ITIL, Agile, and enterprise IT governance frameworks.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
• Experience with data pipeline frameworks (e.g., Apache Airflow, Kafka, Spark) and cloud-based data platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
