Your Impact

You will have responsibilities that range from shaping and implementing strategic products to ensuring that McKinsey’s craft stays on the leading edge of technology.  
In this role you will be involved in leading software development projects. 
Your expertise will expand into Cloud technologies, DevOps and Continuous Delivery domains. 
You will be an active learner, identifying new or better ways to deliver impact with people and technology. 
You will develop a growth mindset and relish opportunities to use familiar and unfamiliar technologies, closed source and open source software, and develop better approaches to solving business and technical challenges. 
You will embrace agile software development practices and contribute to growing and improving our engineering organization. 
You will prototype code and participate in code reviews, facilitate breaking down user stories into technical tasks, and help manage the process by which code is delivered and its quality. 
You will lead the adoption of technical standards and best practices to grow high performing teams. 
You will identify and escalate barriers, dependencies and risks and collaborate with business stakeholders to mitigate the risks.

Your Growth

You will be a core member of the MEG (Marketing Efficiency for Growth) solution team based in Bengaluru and Gurugram, within the M&S Practice. You will partner with experienced solution and integrative consulting colleagues passionate about creating the best products for our end users in our clients marketing organizations (CMO, Brand managers).
MEG is the productization of the McKinsey approach to evaluate marketing spend, diagnose and recommend inefficiencies to re-invest funds for growth. Our first 1.0 version has been in the market for 1 year helping us serve 22 clients including some marquee tech and CPG brands! We are building on that success to scale our impact and build the next gen version of our product.
Our objective is to create the ‘Marketing Operating System of the Future’, a SaaS web-based client facing leave-behind solution. From a technical and user experience design standpoint, we are trying to solve problems around data at scale using modern technologies, machine learning, insights and anomaly detection. We want to address proliferation of channels and suppliers, rising customer expectations, rising media prices and compounded volatility in the COVID-19 era.
