Job Description

Are you an expert developer and architect?

Do you have good communication and people skills?

Do you love SAP?

If so, we offer a fantastic opportunity to join the LEGO Group to help us define and implement our digital strategies, working as one of our top-level technical software engineers.

As a Principal Engineer, you must be able to work independently. Much of the time, nobody will tell you what to do, or how to prioritize. You will be on the lookout for areas that benefit the most from your attention. You should be prepared to be involved in debates and even “diplomatic” work, where people can have strong viewpoints and try to pull in different directions.

*No relocation assistance is offered for this position.*

Core Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted advisor to CPT product teams and our CPT leadership team on technology topics

• drive technology initiatives both within CPT and across the digital organization by mobilizing communities, and working on technology and architecture strategies with the other Principal Engineers, Lead Engineers, Product Leaders and VPs

• Champion and safeguard our architecture principles, digital operating model and critical initiatives

• You can learn the essence of new technological topics without having the time do hands-on work, and you quickly understand crucial challenges, architectures, and designs presented to you – even in areas that you are not intimately familiar with

• Agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban. You appreciate the quick feedback loops, continual course correction, and experimental approach that agile enables

Play your part in our team succeeding

You will join as one of two principal engineers in the leadership team in Corporate Products Technology (CPT), collaborating with the VP who is head of CPT. Within CPT, we have 13 software product teams. The teams cover a wide set of business capabilities, e.g. finance, planning and controlling, tax and trade, process digitization, HR, payroll, procurement, facilities and workplace, legal, internal communication, and service management. We also have three supporting teams: digital design, agile coaching, and technical program management.

In CPT, we have a mix of software engineers – some primarily do configuration (low-code/no-code) often using SaaS solutions, while other engineers mainly program (e.g., using ABAP on SAP or TypeScript on AWS). Most product teams have engineers of both types.

Your focus will be split between internal work within CPT and collaboration with other areas of Digital Technology. One of your main areas of focus will be supporting the architecture for our new ERP system (we are moving from ECC to S/4HANA). You will be part of this programme leadership team.

Do you have what it takes?

• DevOps' technologies and practices: E.g., Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, high-frequency releases to prod, releasable master, static code analysis

• Running systems in production: E.g., log collection, dashboards, troubleshooting, response timing, tracing, observability, the “you built it - you run it” principle

• Data collection and data analysis: E.g., data warehouse, data lake, query tools, planning and reporting, dashboards, machine learning, data ownership

• Proven experience with SAP is required: SAP Financials: ECC, S/4Hana, Rise, Upgrades and migrations

• Disaster recovery: E.g., redundancy, self-healing, backup/restore, infrastructure as code, recovery point objective (RPO), recovery time objective (RTO)

• Modern architecture, cloud native, modularization via microservices, integration design patterns, and domain driven design (DDD)

• Cloud: E.g., AWS, Azure, SAP BTP, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code

Advanced English both written and verbal would be ideal as we are an internationally gathered team.
