Phillips 66 & YOU - Together we can fuel the future
As a Lead Full-Stack Product Engineer on our Commercial technology team, you will lead the design, delivery, and evolution of strategic, trader-facing applications that turn complex data into intuitive tools. You'll manage a team of developers while also staying close to the code, shaping how traders, analysts, and data scientists access insights and make decisions. This is a chance to work near the desks on high-impact problems, building modern, API-first experiences over governed data products at Phillips 66.
What You'll Do

• Lead the end-to-end development, implementation, and maintenance of strategic, business-critical applications that power trader- and analyst-facing platforms, ensuring they are reliable, secure, and performant.
• Partner with traders, strategists, analysts, and data scientists to understand workflows, elicit complex business requirements, and translate them into intuitive tools, dashboards, and applications.
• Define and maintain the application roadmap, including feasibility studies, cost-benefit analyses, and release plans that align with business priorities and governed data products.
• Lead the design and build of modern user interfaces and APIs (for example, React front ends and Python/REST back ends) and oversee the full software development life cycle from concept through deployment and ongoing enhancements.
• Analyze current ("as is") and future ("to be") business processes and data flows, identify gaps, and drive scalable solutions that simplify the user experience and accelerate question-to-decision time.
• Plan, prioritize, and manage project work, budgets, and resources; assign and review work for a diverse development team and guide them toward high-quality delivery.
• Establish and champion engineering standards, development practices, and deployment approaches (including CI/CD, versioning, and zero-downtime updates) that keep the platform maintainable and easy to extend.
• Monitor platform usage, performance, and feedback, using data and insights to optimize features, improve adoption, and ensure the platform remains a thin, trusted layer over governed data products.
• Provide expert technical and business advice to partners across IT and Commercial, helping teams navigate trade-offs, resolve complex issues, and shape future capabilities.

What You'll Bring - Required

• Legally authorized to work in the job posting country
• Bachelors degree
• 6 or more years of lead-level full-stack development experience with a track record of owning and supporting production web applications end-to-end.
• Advanced proficiency in React or comparable front-end frameworks with a focus on user experience and information-dense interfaces.
• Advanced proficiency in Python backend/API development skills using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django, including integration with enterprise data platforms.
• Intermediate proficiency developing production web applications using modern front-end frameworks such as React.
• Intermediate proficiency building and integrating backend services and REST APIs using languages such as Python.

What Makes You Stand Out - Preferred

• 8 or more years of experience owning production web applications end to end in a lead or senior engineering role.
• Experience building tools, dashboards, or platforms for traders, analysts, or other expert, time-pressured users.
• Background in commodities, energy, trading, or financial markets.
• Experience designing information-dense user interfaces and data- or BI-heavy applications, including real-time data or visualization libraries.
• Experience working with governed data products, semantic layers, or lakehouse APIs.
• Demonstrated ability to define future-state architectures, lead change, and drive continuous improvement across teams.
