Role Overview:

The Technical Director at Accordion is responsible for leading the architecture, development, and delivery of modern, scalable data platforms that drive analytics, AI integration, and decision-making across client organizations. This role demands deep technical expertise, strong business acumen, and the ability to design cost-optimized solutions that address both current and future client needs – across cloud and on-premises environments.

The Technical Director will champion an AI-first approach – responsibly integrating/leveraging AI tools to accelerate delivery, defining AI-ready data infrastructure standards for engagements, and building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to expose data platform capabilities to AI agents and LLM-powered workflows. A successful candidate will possess strong critical thinking, organizational skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders to drive end-to-end solution delivery.

What You will do:

• Partner with multiple clients to understand their business challenges and translate them into data architecture requirements and actionable solution roadmaps.
• Own end-to-end accountability for the delivery of data engineering engagements, ensuring projects are executed on time, within scope, and to a high technical standard while proactively managing risks, aligning stakeholders, and maintaining visibility across workstreams.
• Design and lead the implementation of cloud-native data platform architectures including data lakes, lakehouses (Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg), and modern data warehouses, recommending the right technology stack per engagement.
• Collaborate with business and technology teams to guide solution development, define KPIs, scalable data models, and metrics frameworks aligned with client goals.
• Partner with Project Managers to develop, execute and own delivery plans ensuring high quality output within agreed timelines.
• Evaluate and implement modern data integration patterns: ELT/ETL orchestration, streaming pipelines, and real-time data processing.
• Build data infrastructure that is AI-ready by design — ensuring proper data organization, governance, lineage, and accessibility patterns that enable downstream AI and analytics consumption.
• Responsibly integrate/leverage AI tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cortex, Genie, or similar) to accelerate development, code reviews, documentation, and solution delivery…
