Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation— inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.
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.
Join our Data Platform Engineering portfolio, a global team building and operating the database infrastructure that powers BCG’s data products, analytics, and AI capabilities across Case Teams, Practice Areas, and Business Systems.
As a Principal Database Platform Engineer, you will take end-to-end ownership of cloud-native database platforms, with a primary focus on AWS. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role focused on designing for scale and reliability, driving automation, and setting the platform standards that engineering teams across the firm depend on.
This role suits an engineer who has operated at a senior level before – someone who identifies what needs to be built, makes sound technical decisions, and delivers without requiring step-by-step direction. We are looking for a strong cloud database engineer with the curiosity and drive to grow into AI-enabling database infrastructure as BCG’s needs evolve.
Platform Engineering & Automation
- Design and operate cloud-native database platforms on AWS, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency
- Build automated, self-service capabilities using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD, and Git-based workflows
Architecture & Standards
- Define and implement reusable platform patterns, standards, and guardrails across a multi-cloud environment
- Act as a technical leader where required, translating business and engineering needs into scalable database platform designs
Reliability, Security & Cost Optimization
- Embed SRE principles including observability, performance tuning, and incident response into day-to-day operations
- Ensure secure-by-design practices across identity, access management, and data protection
- Drive cloud cost transparency and optimization through FinOps disciplines, including tagging, attribution, and rightsizing
Stakeholder Enablement & Collaboration
- Partner with architecture, application, and data teams to translate needs into practical platform solutions
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers
- Lead design and architecture reviews aligned to enterprise standards
Innovation & Continuous Improvement
- Evaluate emerging database technologies and lead proofs of concept as BCG’s AI and data needs evolve
- Support and enable AI and analytics use cases through modern database platform capabilities
You’re Good At
- Communicating clearly – able to translate technical decisions and trade-offs into terms that resonate with non-technical stakeholders
- Working across global, cross-functional teams and building effective partnerships across disciplines
- Approaching problems with analytical rigor and a practical engineering mindset
- Prioritizing and delivering in a fast-moving environment without losing sight of quality or standards
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 8 to 10 years of experience in database, platform, or infrastructure engineering
- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and AWS-managed database services – DynamoDB, OpenSearch, or similar – in production environments
- Experience with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation
- Solid understanding of how databases perform at scale – query performance, indexing, and data distribution
- Self-directed and hands-on – you own the problem end to end, from design through to delivery
- Genuine interest in how database platforms are evolving, particularly in the context of AI and analytics
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience across more than one cloud provider – Azure or GCP alongside AWS
- Familiarity with graph, document, or NoSQL databases – Neptune, DocumentDB, MongoDB, or equivalent
- Exposure to vector search or pgvector for AI and GenAI workloads
- Experience with analytics platforms such as Databricks or BigQuery
- Familiarity with RAG pipelines, embedding stores, or modern AI data architectures
- Working knowledge of cloud security practices – IAM, least-privilege, data protection
- Exposure to FinOps, SRE, or enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF
- Experience mentoring engineers or contributing to architecture reviews
- Relational database background (MSSQL, Oracle) – useful context, but not the focus of this role
Who You'll Work With
- Enterprise and Solution Architecture teams
- Data & Analytics platforms – Databricks, BigQuery
- Application development teams and product owners
- Cloud, security, and infrastructure teams
- Managed service providers and technology partners

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Principal Jobs
Translate your credentials into U.S. equivalency
Chilean teaching licenses and graduate degrees in educational administration need formal equivalency evaluation before U.S. school districts will consider sponsoring you. Request an official credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized agency that specifies your degree level and field.
Target districts with documented H-1B1 filing history
Large urban and suburban school districts, charter management organizations, and private school networks are the employers most likely to have in-house HR capacity to file an H-1B1 petition. Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified H-1B1 Chile sponsorship history for education roles.
Confirm the role meets specialty occupation standards
A Principal position qualifies for H-1B1 Chile status only if the district requires a specific bachelor's or advanced degree for the role, not just any degree. Check the O*NET occupation profile for Principal to confirm the education requirement language before applying.
Request the LCA before your offer letter is finalized
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before the H-1B1 visa petition can proceed. Ask your district's HR team to begin the LCA process simultaneously with your background clearances so credentialing delays don't push your start date into the next school year.
Benchmark your offered salary against OFLC Wage Search
The LCA legally requires your employer to pay the prevailing wage for Principal roles in your specific metropolitan area. Run the OFLC Wage Search yourself using your job title and work location to verify the offered salary meets the DOL wage level before signing.
Prepare for consular review of your supervisory authority
Consular officers scrutinize Principal applications closely because the role blends administrative and instructional duties. Bring documentation showing you'll hold degree-dependent authority over curriculum decisions, not just general management, to demonstrate the specialty occupation requirement is genuinely met.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Principal role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, if your school or district requires at least a bachelor's degree in education, educational leadership, or school administration as a standard condition of employment for the role. Positions where any degree is acceptable regardless of field typically don't qualify. USCIS and consular officers look at whether the degree requirement is specific to the occupation, not incidental to it.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa compare to H-1B for Principal jobs?
For Chilean nationals, the H-1B1 Chile is materially better for securing a Principal role. There's no lottery, so your petition isn't rejected by random selection before an officer even reviews it. The annual cap of 1,400 visas for Chile has never been exhausted, and the application goes directly to the consulate rather than through USCIS, which typically means a faster decision timeline.
How do I find school districts that sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas for Principal positions?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for employers with H-1B1 Chile sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to districts that have never filed an H-1B1 petition. Focus your search on large public school systems, private school networks, and charter management organizations, which are more likely to have HR departments experienced with specialty occupation petitions.
Can my school district sponsor me for H-1B1 Chile if it has never filed a work visa before?
Yes. Any U.S. employer can file an H-1B1 visa petition for the first time, but the district will need to work with an immigration attorney or filing service to complete the Labor Condition Application with DOL and prepare the consular package. First-time filers often need additional lead time, so raise the sponsorship question early in your hiring discussions, ideally before the formal offer stage.
What documentation should I bring to my H-1B1 consular interview as a Principal candidate?
Bring your certified Labor Condition Application, your official credential evaluation confirming your Chilean degree equivalency, transcripts, your employment offer letter specifying your title and supervisory responsibilities, and proof that the role requires a specific degree field. Consular officers may ask you to explain how your day-to-day duties as a Principal depend on specialized educational knowledge rather than general management experience.
