BCG X
Forward Deployed AI Engineer, United Arab Emirates — BCG X
Why it's interesting
The title has fully crossed into Big-3 strategy consulting: BCG X (BCG's tech-build arm) ran a global Forward Deployed AI Engineer hiring wave across ~8 geos this summer — US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden, India — and by mid-August every one of those had closed except this Dubai seat. That it's the Gulf req still open is its own signal: BCG is planting FDE capacity where sovereign-AI and government transformation budgets are, not just SF and London.
