Practice Area Profile


As a Lead Engineer, you will work closely with clients to understand their issues, define digital strategies, architecture & engineering solutions, win buy-in for your recommendations, and collaborate with your BCG colleagues to transform client potential into performance. You will conduct research into emerging technologies, build proof of concepts as well as build digital apps, APIs and data solutions to drive digital transformation projects. You will be given end-to-end responsibility for larger, highly technical and more complex software components within a project, and begin to develop specialized industry knowledge to help you solve clients’ problems. You will fully integrate front and back end technologies and understand how your software fits within the overall client environment. You will be positioned as a team lead, liaising closely with other discipline leads, owning intellectual leadership and have operational project responsibility.

As part of our BCG Platinion consulting team, you would work on a variety of technology topics, applying your engineering consulting skills to strategic technology challenges. You’ll be supported by an extensive training curriculum (the same programme as all BCG consultants), plus technology-specific training and mentoring to build your skills.

Iterating: You are excited to prototype at all levels of fidelity—and have the humility to walk away from ideas when they fail.
Collaborating: You have the ability and enthusiasm to work with researchers, engineers, business consultants, and other designers who will all challenge and support each other.
Working with ambiguity: You know projects and businesses move fast. That means the path forward isn’t always well-defined. You are comfortable and collaborative through our process.
