Job Description:

Let me tell you about the role

Our data engineers build and run the data pipelines and platforms that bp pulse relies on every day. The team builds on Databricks and AWS.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design and build data pipelines, model data for analysis, and keep our platforms dependable and well-governed. It's a hands-on, senior role: setting a high engineering standard, mentoring other engineers, and acting as an informal technical lead within the squad leading through experience rather than a formal management line.

What you will deliver

- Design, build and run reliable, scalable, distributed data pipelines on Databricks and AWS.
- Model data for analysis, keeping it accurate, well-governed and easy to use.
- Write secure, well-tested software to build, integrate and quality-assure data across bp pulse, meeting privacy and compliance needs.
- Follow and encourage good engineering practice: technical design and review, testing, code review, source control and documentation.
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and manage infrastructure as code.
- Look after the pipelines and services the team builds monitoring, alerting and business-hours support and keep improving their reliability.
- Mentor other engineers and share knowledge to lift the quality of the team's work.
- Work with people across the business to understand what they need and turn it into dependable data products.

What you will need to be successful

Essential

- Strong, hands-on experience building and running reliable, scalable, distributed data pipelines and data products in complex environments.
- Hands-on experience with Databricks, PySpark, Spark SQL, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and Workflows (or similar lakehouse experience, with a real appetite to grow on Databricks).
- Experience with AWS data and serverless services (e.g. Lambda, Glue, S3, Redshift, Kinesis, SNS/SQS).
- Strong Python and advanced SQL.
- Good data modelling skills, applied in production.
- Experience with infrastructure as code and CI/CD.
- Experience mentoring engineers and helping raise the quality bar.
- Comfortable working with people across the business and shaping work through technical influence.
- A curious, continuous-improvement mindset.
- A degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent knowledge and experience.

Desired

- Experience with dbt or Apache Airflow.
- Familiarity with open table formats such as Delta, Apache Hudi or Apache Iceberg.
- Experience with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool.
- No prior experience in the energy industry needed.
