What You'll Do
As Full-Stack Engineer Director within Tech@BCG’s IT & Business Platforms engineering organization, you will set the technical direction for the Frontier Self-Service Experience Platform, owning architecture decisions and technical delivery end-to-end across front-end, back-end, integrations, AI components, and cloud infrastructure. You will define engineering standards and best practices, lead the evolution of our technology stack, and act as the senior technical authority for design reviews, build-vs-buy decisions, and platform scalability, resilience, and security. Partnering closely with Product Management and senior engineering leaders, you will translate ambitious product roadmaps into a coherent, maintainable technical architecture that can scale across a large, global, matrixed organization.
You will lead and develop a distributed team of engineers and engineering managers, driving delivery of high-quality, high-impact products while coaching the next generation of technical leaders. You will chair architecture and governance forums with senior stakeholders, resolve escalated or highly ambiguous technical challenges, and represent full-stack engineering in broader technology governance — including integration points with platform engineering, DevSecOps, security, and enterprise architecture. You are expected to operate with a high degree of independence, exercising sound judgment on complex, business-critical decisions with limited oversight.
YOU'RE GOOD AT
- Identifying and framing highly complex, ambiguous technical challenges — cutting through competing constraints across front-end, back-end, and infrastructure to address root causes and reduce complexity for the wider organization.
- Performing and driving rigorous, logical, and accurate technical analysis, drawing out innovative architectural insights rather than settling for surface-level fixes.
- Writing clear and concise communications and leading conversations and meetings effectively — framing complex, ambiguous information at the right level of detail and technicality, and developing narratives that influence engineering leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to reach resolution.
- Structuring, planning, and prioritizing complex technical programs; anticipating and managing changing priorities while driving and delivering high-quality output mindful of impact on the broader business.
- Coaching and developing a distributed team and network of engineers — striking the right balance between empowerment and managerial direction, embracing change with adaptability and agility, and performing with the highest level of integrity and a growth mindset that generates trust across the organization.
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (must have); relevant cloud or architecture certifications are a plus.
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including significant demonstrated technical leadership designing and delivering enterprise-scale, full-stack & AI-powered platforms end-to-end (must have).
- Deep, hands-on expertise across modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular), back-end languages and services (e.g., Node.js, Java, .NET, Python), and cloud-native architecture on Azure and/or AWS, including API-first and event-driven design (must have).
- Proven track record leading and developing distributed engineering teams and engineering managers within a global, matrixed organization, including setting technical standards and mentoring senior engineers (must have).
- Experience integrating modern DevSecOps ecosystems and CI/CD pipelines, and familiarity with AI-assisted engineering tools and practices; experience operating in a professional services or consulting environment is a plus (preferred).
Who You'll Work With
You will work within Tech@BCG's IT & Business Platforms engineering organization, partnering daily with Product Management, Platform Engineering, Security, and DevSecOps teams to design and deliver scalable full-stack platforms. You will also engage regularly with regional engineering leads and senior Tech@BCG leadership as the escalation point and technical authority for full-stack architecture and delivery.
