Senior AI Tech Architect - Milan | BCG Platinion
Job Description
At BCG Platinion, we close the gap between strategy and technology. We design and build AI tech strategies, AI solutions, and next-generation platform architectures that turn ambition into execution, turning buzzwords into a true business engine and real competitive advantage.
Working at the intersection of boardroom strategy and hands-on tech delivery, we help leading organizations tackle their toughest challenges, with access to C-suite leaders and the unmatched resources of BCG.
As a Senior AI Tech Architect, you will hold end-to-end ownership of the overall solution architecture — spanning API strategy, data platform design, cloud infrastructure, and AI engineering.
The role requires the ability to operate with authority across all dimensions: from deep technical governance and architecture reviews to C-suite-level communication and strategic advisory with client leadership.
You lead the design and evolution of enterprise-grade AI engineering platforms, setting the architectural standards and delivery patterns to be implemented across engagements
You own the end-to-end governance framework for AI-powered systems — defining trust boundaries, identity models, validation hierarchies, and audit mechanisms — and ensure these standards are adopted consistently across multi-team delivery environments
You architect and oversee evaluation and security programs at scale: from red-teaming strategies and adversarial testing frameworks to compliance-by-design approaches embedded in CI/CD pipelines
You translate executive-level business intent into multi-horizon AI architectures, balancing immediate delivery velocity with long-term technical sustainability, and define the integration path within existing system landscapes and operating models
You act as a technical authority in client-facing settings, shaping AI architecture strategy at C-suite and CTO level, and codifying reusable patterns and governance playbooks
You hold a degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, AI Engineering, or a related field
You have 6-9 years of experience in software development or technical roles, with a strong track record in cloud, backend, or system integration at enterprise scale
You lead the analysis, design, and optimization of complex IT architectures across multi-team engagements, with deep expertise in legacy modernization, enterprise solutions, and advanced market trends including agentic AI, LLM orchestration, and AI-native architectures
You have extensive hands-on experience with AI systems — including LLM-based applications, multi-agent architectures, and ML platforms — and have delivered these in production enterprise environments
You define and govern modern software delivery standards, including DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and platform engineering approaches across delivery teams
You have deep command of concepts like agent assembly lines, execution harnesses, and context engineering, and own the architectural decisions that embed them securely and scalably into enterprise landscapes
You translate executive-level business intent into multi-horizon technical architectures and communicate with authority across C-suite, CTO-level, and technical audiences
You thrive in interdisciplinary teams and global environments, and are flexible and willing to travel as needed
You are willing to travel to client sites in Italy and abroad (frequency varies by project)
You have strong written and verbal communication skills in both Italian and English (minimum B2, C1 preferred) — senior client-facing interaction and executive communication are core components of the role
We make sure you never stop growing. You'll tackle exciting, high-impact challenges every day, supported by a passionate team of talented colleagues who share your drive for excellence and keep connect long after your case wraps up. Our collaborative, open culture gives you the freedom to explore and perfect your strengths, backed by individual learning opportunities and recognized certifications.

We believe that in-person collaboration plays an essential role in our culture, mentorship, and professional development. That's why we generally operate on a hybrid model, with office presence shaped by business needs, team norms, and local policies and practices.
