Do you want to turn the challenges of digitalization into the solutions of the future? Join BCG Platinion in tackling the core IT issues of leading global companies. Deploy customized platforms, architectures, strategies, and organizations to leverage the digital potential of our customers and drive true innovation, with state-of-the-art tools such as cloud computing, AI, blockchain, microservices, and containerization. Add your individual strengths to our unique team, always there to support you. Together with Boston Consulting Group and our clients, we turn digital visions into reality.

What You'll Do

As an IT Associate Forward Engineer, you will be part of interdisciplinary teams made up of architects, strategy consultants, and engineers. You will make concrete contributions to the design and prototype of architectural solutions, with a fast track toward increasing levels of responsibility.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong technical foundation, a keen interest in business, and no fear of tackling complex and ambiguous problems head-on.

 

• Shape the digital transformation of globally leading companies, ensuring their success by evaluating our clients' digital capabilities and performing feasibility studies
• Contribute to the design of cloud-native and microservices-based architectures on AWS, Azure, or GCP, supporting the definition of technical blueprints
• Develop and document REST/GraphQL APIs, OpenAPI contracts, and integration patterns across heterogeneous systems
• Support the delivery of Proofs of Concept (PoCs) on emerging technologies (GenAI, cloud-native, data mesh) and present results to clients in a business-oriented way
• Analyze existing application landscapes (as-is) and contribute to the definition of modernization roadmaps
• Collaborate with strategy consultants to translate business requirements into documented, presentation-ready technical solutions
• Produce high-quality deliverables: architecture diagrams, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), executive slides, and technical documentation
• Actively participate in client workshops, developing technical communication and stakeholder engagement skills

What You'll Bring

• A degree in computer science, (business) informatics, or a related discipline - strong academic record preferred
• 2–5 years of experience in software development or technical roles in cloud, backend, or system integration
• Hands-on knowledge of at least one cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) and familiarity with key managed services
• Experience with microservices architectures, API design, and containerization (Docker / Kubernetes)
• Deep expertise in at least one of the following domains: Cloud Architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), Data & Analytics Platform, Application Modernization, API & Integration
• Systems thinking mindset: ability to understand how technical choices impact cost, scalability, and time-to-market
• Comfort with ambiguity: ability to move forward even when requirements are not fully defined
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams with the ability to manage technical backlogs and tech debt in a structured way
• Knowledge of GenAI architecture patterns: RAG, LLM orchestration (LangChain / LlamaIndex), embeddings, vector databases
• Familiarity with Enterprise Architecture frameworks (TOGAF or equivalent)
• Strong written and spoken communication skills in Italian and English ((B2 minimum, C1 preferred) — client interaction is a core part of the role
• Willingness to travel to client sites (frequency varies by project)

Nice to have

• Cloud certification (AWS SAA, Azure AZ-104/305, GCP ACE)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform / Pulumi), and DevOps practices
• Knowledge of event-driven patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ) or data solutions (Spark, Airflow)
• Consulting experience, internships at advisory firms, or university projects with real-world system impact
