What Makes Us a Great Place to Work

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the worlds best places to work. We are currently the #1 ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and have maintained a spot in the top four on Google’s list since its founding in 2009. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy but these don’t happen by chance. They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.

You’ll join our Engineering Experts within the AI Insights & Solutions team. This team is part of Bains digital capabilities practice which includes experts in analytics engineering, product management and this multidisciplinary environment. You’ll leverage deep technical expertise with business acumen to help clients tackle their most transformative challenges. You’ll work on integrated teams alongside our general consultants and clients to develop data‑driven strategies and innovative solutions. Together we create human‑centric solutions that harness the power of data and artificial intelligence to drive competitive advantage for our clients. Our collaborative and supportive work environment fosters creativity and continuous learning enabling us to consistently deliver exceptional results.

What You’ll Do

• Shape & scope client solutions. Work with Bain consulting teams and product owners to translate business problems into prioritized backlogs and technical road‑maps for cross‑functional engineering squads.
• Own full‑stack design & build. Lead the architecture development and documentation of web applications selecting and integrating third‑party services or frameworks that accelerate delivery and long‑term maintainability.
• Drive front‑end modernization engagements. Direct small‑to‑mid‑sized client workstreams to assess and improve front‑end architecture, micro‑services, build pipelines and security patterns.
• Establish front‑end engineering best practices. Define and enforce standards around component libraries/design systems, automated testing, linting, CI/CD, accessibility and performance optimisation.
• Develop reusable libraries & accelerators. Create and curate shared code assets that reduce time‑to‑value across multiple client projects and internal initiatives.
• Lead the full delivery lifecycle. Set quality gates, supervise code reviews, ensure robust unit/integration test coverage, manage release planning and oversee post‑deployment monitoring and incident resolution.
• Partner on UI/UX excellence. Collaborate with designers to ship inclusive responsive interfaces.
• Mentor & grow engineers. Provide day‑to‑day technical coaching for senior and mid‑level engineers through pair programming, architecture sessions and constructive feedback.
• Upskill client engineering teams. Coach client developers on modern tooling and DevOps/cloud‑native practices ensuring sustainable ownership after Bains engagement.
• Advance cloud‑native & DevOps adoption. Champion containerisation, infrastructure‑as‑code, automated observability and secure‑by‑design principles to improve scalability, reliability and security.
• Contribute to communities of practice. Share lessons learned and emerging technology trends through internal forums, brown‑bag sessions and knowledge assets.
• Support talent acquisition & onboarding. Participate in interviewing technical assessments and mentoring of new hires to build a high‑calibre engineering cohort.
• Travel is required. This position requires regional travel away from your home office/primary working location. Travel frequency and destinations will vary based on project needs.
