It Associate - Focus AI (all Genders) - Bcg Platinion

BCG BCG · Consulting · Cologne, Germany +6 · Technology and Engineering

This role focuses on designing and building AI-driven target architectures, including LLM orchestration and agentic AI, for enterprise clients. Responsibilities include developing rule sets, toolchains, evaluation frameworks, and CI/CD integrations for coding agents, as well as building modern software delivery approaches. The role requires translating business intent into agent-executable specifications and supporting the design of evaluation and governance mechanisms.

What you'd actually do

  1. You will contribute to the design of AI-driven target architectures – from LLM orchestration and agentic AI to harness engineering in autonomous software factories such as the “Dark Software Factory” – and learn how to integrate these approaches into enterprise landscapes in a scalable way with measurable business impact
  2. You will develop rule sets, toolchains, evaluation frameworks and CI/CD integrations that govern the behavior of coding agents across the entire SDLC
  3. You will build modern software delivery approaches: from DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines to automated testing and platform engineering in an enterprise context
  4. You will work directly with clients to translate business intent into precise, testable specifications that agents can execute
  5. You will support the design of evaluation and governance mechanisms that ensure AI systems are secure, transparent, and compliant with enterprise standards
