Job Description:

Yalla is bp’s Internal Developer Platform (IDP), built on Kubernetes. It’s a core part of how we help teams build, ship, and run software with confidence. As a Staff Engineer on the Yalla team, you’ll work at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure—shaping the experience of developers across bp and influencing how modern systems are built and operated at scale.

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in guiding the platform’s technical direction and supporting the engineers who build it. In this role, you will:

  • Lead architectural and design decisions for the Yalla platform and set clear engineering standards.
  • Partner with the head of engineering to shape priorities and ensure the platform evolves in the right direction.
  • Mentor engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and hands‑on coaching.
  • Build platform capabilities that help developers work more efficiently, securely, and reliably.
  • Write production‑ready code in TypeScript, Java, .NET, Python, and Go—and be comfortable learning new languages when needed.
  • Design and implement REST APIs, along with strong unit test coverage and thoughtful low‑level design.
  • Troubleshoot issues across infrastructure, networking, and Kubernetes using Linux tools.
  • Identify repetitive work (“toil”) and automate it using SRE and platform engineering practices.
  • Build systems with observability in mind so developers and operators have clear insight into how things behave.
What We’re Looking For

Core Engineering Skills

  • Strong coding skills and comfort working with data structures and algorithms.
  • Experience designing and building APIs.
  • Ability to apply design patterns in real systems.
  • A thoughtful approach to testing and quality.

Platform & SRE Skills

  • Understanding of infrastructure and network design, including common failure modes.
  • Experience spotting engineering toil and automating it.
  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals—scheduling, networking, controllers, and orchestration.
  • Ability to debug infrastructure, networking, and Kubernetes issues using Linux tools.
  • Strong understanding of metrics, logs, and traces, and how to build reliable systems with them.

Leadership Skills

  • Ability to set technical direction and influence platform‑level decisions.
  • Experience guiding engineers through complex trade‑offs and design choices.
  • A collaborative approach to mentoring and helping others grow.
  • Confidence representing the team with senior stakeholders and working across teams.

In office
Graduate - Junior
ÂŁ25,000 - ÂŁ27,000

IT Support Engineer (1st/2nd Line) Day/ Night Shift pattern 4 on 4 off.

If you’re early in your IT career - or about to start it - this is the kind of role that accelerates you, not boxes you in.

This isn’t a repetitive password reset job. Most 1st line tasks are already automated. You’ll step straight into meaningful 2nd line work, learning how real IT environments operate and how to prioritise, troubleshoot and improve systems properly.

And importantly, the people leading this team started exactly where you will.

Who are they?

They’re a young and ambitious firm who are certainly no longer a “start-up”, having built and shipped and incredibly successful white-label products that are now used by over 500 customers and they haven’t even scratched the surface of where they want to take it.

You’ll join a team of four engineers supporting around (Apply online only) internal users in a structured, modern IT environment. From day one, you’ll build experience handling real technical issues - typically 10-20 tickets per day.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Diagnose and resolve 2nd line support issues
  • Use Jira for service management
  • Develop PowerShell skills in a practical setting
  • Gain exposure to Azure and cloud-based environments
  • Understand network environments including Cisco Meraki

We are ideally looking for someone with a good understanding of computing and software who has potentially completed a computer science degree. You will be keen to learn and develop your skills and have the ability to diagnose problems.

If you’re curious about automation or scripting, you’ll have the opportunity to grow those skills here. PowerShell is used regularly, and cloud exposure is part of the journey.

This team has a genuine track record of internal development.

The current manager started in this exact role. Others have progressed into 3rd line positions.

If you show initiative and drive, you won’t stay static.

If you’ve built personal projects, studied Azure in your own time, experimented with PowerShell, or taken the initiative to learn, that will stand out far more than just time served.

In return, you will receive up to 27K plus benefits. Please contact Jake Smith on (phone number removed) or email (url removed) for more information.
