This role provides the opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and influence data platform and software engineering practices across BCG, while providing leadership and collaboration to a high performing team tasked with high-visibility enterprise initiatives. You will work across product owners, stakeholders, other architects, vendors and technical teams to define backend system requirements and deliver scalable, secure, and reliable services. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated strategic thinker, engaging collaborator, and effective influencer. They will coordinate and provide oversight to the solution/technical leads of multiple development squads, balancing delivery and progress with adherence to standards and processes. Your activities will include: GenAI & Agentic Systems * Architect and deliver technical solutions from prototype to production, including evaluating the viability and security of emerging GenAI/agent technologies. * 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. * Provide technical oversight to multiple squads; collaborate with other Architects to align with enterprise standards and DevSecOps practices; contribute to roadmaps and evolve standards. * Ensure cross-system consistency; resolve cross-squad architectural dependencies and misalignments. * Lead Architecture and Design Reviews; facilitate structured decision-making and document decisions through ADRs and RAID logs. Experience working in Jira/Confluence or similar and actively contributing to an architecture knowledge base. * Conduct PoCs and scope effective MVPs to phase complex delivery, evaluate emerging cloud-native and AI technologies, and validate enhancements to the platform. 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. * Interface with strategic partners to identify value opportunities and coordinate joint initiatives. * Support product squads translating and prioritizing business problems while contributing to the architectural runway. ## Related Videos - [Beyond GPT: Building Unified GenAI Platforms for the Enterprise of Tomorrow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1525-beyond-gpt-building-unified-genai-platforms-for-the-enterprise-of-tomorrow) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/461-gitops-for-the-people) - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) - [Tomorrow's cloud data platforms - fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/254-tomorrow-s-cloud-data-platforms-fully-managed-database-as-a-service-dbaas) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) ## Related Articles - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
