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 an AI Tech Architect, you will be a key technical contributor within project teams. You will have direct ownership of specific architectural domains — from the API layer to the data platform, from cloud design to AI components — and will work closely with senior AI Tech Architects to shape the overall solution vision.
The role requires the ability to move fluidly between technical depth (hands-on PoCs, code reviews, system design) and business-level communication with client stakeholders.
You develop AI-powered delivery pipelines that translate development processes, engineering standards, and architectural guidelines into machine-executable workflows
You establish trusted AI engineering environments by designing governance mechanisms with multi-layered validation, clear identity boundaries, and end-to-end traceability
You implement evaluation and security mechanisms such as automated testing and evaluation pipelines, architecture compliance checks, and red-teaming approaches for AI-generated systems
You translate enterprise knowledge into machine-readable structures—such as architecture decisions, domain models, APIs, and business rules—to enable autonomous development
You turn business intent into scalable architectures, embed AI sustainably into existing system landscapes and operating models, and translate vision into measurable business impact
You hold a degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, AI Engineering, or a related field
You have 4-6 years of experience in software development or technical roles in cloud, backend, or system integration
You analyze, design, and optimize state-of-the-art, tailored IT architectures, leveraging your strong understanding of legacy systems, enterprise solutions, and current market trends (e.g., agentic AI, LLM orchestration, AI-native architectures)
You have hands-on experience with AI systems, such as LLM-based applications, AI agents, or machine learning platforms
You are familiar with modern software delivery approaches, including DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and platform engineering
Concepts like agent assembly lines, execution harnesses, or context engineering are familiar to you - you know how to embed them into secure and scalable enterprise architectures
You can translate complex business requirements into technical architectures and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
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) - client-facing interaction is a core component 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.
At BCG Platinion, our people and relationships are at the heart of everything we do. 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. We aim to provide a dynamic and collaborative environment that fosters connection and teamwork.
