To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.

What You'll Do

Join our Data Platform Engineering Portfolio, a global platform team driving BCG’s transformation into a data-driven, AI-enabled enterprise. Our team builds and operates the foundational infrastructure, cloud platforms, and DevSecOps capabilities that power enterprise data products and analytics across Case Teams, Practice Areas, and Business Systems.

You will drive the design and evolution of BCG’s cloud-native database platforms and services (with a primary focus on AWS), building scalable, secure, and highly automated data services.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role with strong technical leadership, focused on standardizing platforms, improving reliability, and enabling self-service for application and data teams.

- Build automated, self-service capabilities using Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform), CI/CD, and Git-based workflows
Architecture & Standards
- Define and implement reusable platform patterns, standards, and guardrails
- Act as a Solution Architect where required, translating business needs into scalable data platform designs
Reliability, Security & Cost Optimization
- Embed SRE principles including observability, performance, and incident response
- Ensure secure-by-design practices across identity, access, and data protection
- Drive cost transparency and optimization through FinOps principles
Stakeholder Enablement & Collaboration
- Partner with architecture, application, and data teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers
- Lead design and architecture reviews aligned to enterprise standards
Innovation & Continuous Improvement
- Evaluate new technologies and lead proof-of-concepts
- Support emerging use cases (e.g. analytics, AI/ML, GenAI) where relevant

YOU'RE GOOD AT

Strong communication skills, able to translate technical concepts into business outcomes
Proven ability to work across global, cross-functional teams
Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset
Ability to prioritize and deliver in a fast-paced environment

What You'll Bring

Core Requirements

10+ years’ experience in database, platform, or infrastructure engineering
Strong experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms (AWS preferred)
Hands-on expertise with modern database technologies, including document, search, or graph platforms (e.g. OpenSearch, Neptune, or similar); experience with NoSQL or distributed systems is also valuable
Strong hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines
Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization
Experience designing for reliability, observability, and operational excellence (SRE mindset)
Solid understanding of cloud security and data protection best practices

Nice to Have

Experience across multiple cloud providers (Azure, GCP)
Exposure to analytics and data platforms (e.g. Databricks, BigQuery)
Familiarity with relational databases (e.g. MSSQL, Oracle)
Experience with enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF)
Exposure to modern data architectures supporting AI/ML or GenAI use cases (e.g. vector-based retrieval) is a strong plus

Who You'll Work With

Enterprise and Solution Architecture teams
Data & Analytics platforms (e.g. Databricks, BigQuery)
