No two OW Performance Transformation projects are the same. You’ll be working with hugely varied and diverse teams to deliver unique and unprecedented strategy and product delivery across industries. The Principal Engineer at Oliver Wyman Performance Transformation is crucial to defining, designing, and delivering solutions that achieve breakthrough impact for our clients – all enabled by best-in-class DevSecOps model, Agile practices, architecture and tech stack.

As a Principal Engineer, you will work alongside Oliver Wyman partners in Performance Transformation and other practice groups, engage directly with clients to understand their business challenges, and craft optimal solutions to be delivered by OW Performance Transformation specialists and consultants delivering strategy, or products into production.

When you are a product builder, you will be hands-on defining the architecture, tech stack, leading the engineering team while working with the product owner and designer. You will be instrumental in helping to validate build feasibility, operating costs, handle risk as well as key aspects of security, performance, resiliency, and scalability. Cost benefit and trade-off analysis will be key as you work with the team to build something amazing.

You will collocate with the team regularly or occasionally, working remotely at other times.

We’re also hoping you’ll be able to bring us experience with at least one of the following:

• Financial services and/or capital markets
• Health and life sciences domain
• Insurance (individual or group)
• Consumer, retail, energy, or transportation domain
