Original job description

Locations: Boston | Atlanta Who We Are 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.

What You'll Do 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
