Job description
The Expert Manager, Software Engineering within Bain's AI, Insights & Solutions (AIS) team leads the end-to-end development and deployment of production-grade full-stack applications across multiple industries. This role involves designing, developing, optimizing, and deploying software solutions with full-stack web technologies (React, Angular, Vue.js, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, CSS-in-JS, Sass/Less), server-side services (FastAPI, Node.js/Express, Flask, Django, .NET Core, Java Spring Boot), and API architectures (RESTful, GraphQL, gRPC). The position requires expertise in micro-service ecosystems, CI/CD automation, cloud-native delivery (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD), relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis), front-end engineering best practices (component libraries, design systems, state-management, automated testing frameworks Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress), security and privacy by design (OAuth 2.0/OIDC, JWT, SSO/IAM, encryption in transit/at rest), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep), performance profiling, and adherence to Agile delivery practices (Scrum, Kanban, Git workflows, Jira). The role also involves mentoring and coaching engineering teams, contributing to communities of practice, partnering with UI/UX designers, and guiding client engineering teams on modern tooling and DevOps practices. Regional travel across GCC is required.
Required skills
