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 the CT Data Layer Team, a global initiative transforming our organization into a data-driven enterprise! The Data Layer Team builds the data platforms, pipelines, and GenAI capabilities that power BCG's consulting teams and practice areas including the new wave of agentic business capabilities. Our focus is on creating scalable data solutions and advancing our infrastructure to drive informed decision-making, accelerate value creation, and enable secure, enterprise-grade use of GenAI across the company.

• Design and scale data systems; define standards for agentic development, orchestration, deployment, and monitoring.
• Evolve reusable MCP patterns and services for consistent tool integration, governance, and lifecycle management.
• Define and apply scaling patterns covering access control, guardrails, evaluation, observability, cost/latency, and reliability.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools (Claude Code, Cursor, equivalents) to accelerate delivery with strong quality and security controls.

Architecture & Platform Engineering

• Turn business requirements into scalable, secure designs with a focus on reusable backend services and data platform solutions. Contribute to AWS and Azure self-service capabilities, enabling rapid prototyping and time-to-market for structured and unstructured data classification and GenAI pipelines.

Data Integration & Pipeline Management

• Design the onboarding and integration of public, proprietary and third-party datasets into our cloud data platforms. Ensure that data pipelines (Airflow DAGs, AWS Glue) have correctness, completeness, and data integrity.
• Develop and manage automated solutions including K8s-deployed MCP endpoints, incorporating schema evolution and choosing appropriate cloud storage and compute (S3/Tables, Athena etc).
• Maintain metadata logs, asset templates, technical documentation, and enforce data governance, access controls, and compliance policies.

Stakeholder & Cross-Team Leadership

• Communicate complex architectural concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences; drive alignment through influence.
• Act as technical liaison between internal stakeholders and external data vendors; manage integration projects end-to-end.
