As Global IT Software Engineer Senior Specialist, you will have overall technical responsibility for the design, development, and technical support of a suite of BCG's internal business applications. You will work with a team of internal and external developers, as well as a cross-functional team consisting of Project Managers, Business Analysts, and others, to deliver high-quality applications that respond to and meet the business needs of the entire BCG organization. You will be expected to participate in hands-on development activities as well as provide technical guidance and oversight of development activities to successfully execute projects. You will have overall responsibility for the health of these applications — in terms of quality of the program code and operational effectiveness — from a technical standpoint.

- Proven ability to deliver secure, well-tested, high-performing code: consistently achieving comprehensive automated test coverage, writing code with zero known security vulnerabilities, and optimizing for runtime performance and efficiency.
Good to Have
- Experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data warehousing platforms.
Technical Environment (for reference)
- Language & Runtime: TypeScript across all services (frontend and backend); Node.js runtime for all backend services.
- Frontend: React 18, Redux Toolkit, React Router v6, built with Webpack 5 (Module Federation via @module-federation/enhanced).

Who You'll Work With
You will partner day-to-day with the product team for these applications, including Project Managers and Business Analysts who translate business needs into requirements, a mix of internal BCG engineers and external development partners who build and maintain the platform, and IT leadership who set the broader technology roadmap.
