Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. We are one of the few companies globally that can provide governments and customers with an integrated energy offering. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.
About the Role
We're hiring a Platform Engineer to help build Yalla, our Internal Developer Platform (IDP). Yalla enables teams across our organisation to provision infrastructure, deploy code, and operate services in a secure and standardised way -- all via self-service.
This is a hands-on engineering role working across the full stack: you'll be building on top of the core platform (using Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and Crossplane), as well as any supporting tooling such as the developer portal, backend services, and observability that bring Yalla to life for product teams.
You'll work closely with internal users to understand developer needs, simplify workflows, and turn complex platform capabilities into intuitive developer experiences (DevEx).
What You'll Do
Design, build, and operate features across the full Yalla stack -- including:
Platform infrastructure (Kubernetes, GitOps, provisioning workflows)
Backend APIs and services (e.g., service catalog, deployment orchestration)
Frontend portal (React-based developer UI)
Tooling (Observability, Artifact Storage, Azure DevOps)
Build reusable templates and automation for provisioning environments, services, and CI/CD pipelines.
Integrate with tools like ArgoCD, Crossplane, and language-native build systems (Go, .NET, Java, Node.js, Python).
Contribute to platform contracts and APIs used by product teams.
Collaborate with engineers across the company to define platform standards and improve developer experience.
Improve reliability, observability, and security across all layers of the platform.
What We're Looking For
Must-Have:
Proven experience building and deploying full-stack applications with at least one high-level programming language (ideally React + Go/ .NET/ Java/ Node.js/ Python).
Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture (AWS/Azure) and Kubernetes.
Familiarity with GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Crossplane, Helm).
Experience with CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc.).
Ability to work across front-end and back-end boundaries, turning platform concepts into intuitive UX.
Comfortable navigating a mixed-language environment.
Nice-to-Have:
Experience building internal platforms, IDPs(Internal Developer Platform), or self-service developer tooling.
Experience of working in a monorepo.
Knowledge of service communication patterns (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, messaging).
Experience in secure, regulated environments (e.g., SoX, audit requirements).
Exposure to policy-as-code tools (e.g., OPA, Kyverno, Cedar).
Familiarity with design systems or component libraries used for internal portals.
