About this role

### Company Overview We are the better way to work in finance. As private equity’s value creation partner, we sit at the heart of PE—where sponsors and CFOs meet. Through financial consulting rooted in data, technology, and AI, we help clients drive value supporting the office of the CFO to drive end-to-end value creation. If you crave challenging work and are looking to grow, come solve complex issues alongside 1,600+ finance & technology experts in a supportive, collaborative environment. Backed by premier private equity firms and headquartered in New York with 11 offices around the globe, we are a high-growth, entrepreneurial firm looking for people who want to be part of building something great. --- ### Data & Analytics Accordion’s Data & Analytics (D&A) team offers cutting-edge, intelligent solutions to a global clientele, leveraging a blend of domain knowledge, sophisticated technology tools, and deep analytics capabilities to tackle complex business challenges. We partner with Private Equity clients and their Portfolio Companies across diverse sectors, including Retail, CPG, Healthcare, Media & Entertainment, Technology, and Logistics. This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired location. This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship. --- ### Accordion Intelligence Lab The AI Lab is composed of leading software and AI engineers, designing agentic-AI solutions ahead of the market. Our group builds and operationalizes the AI systems that power Accordion’s consulting capabilities—from agentic architectures and RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and production observability. The Lab works closely with practice leaders to translate research findings into scalable, reliable tools that advance Accordion’s AI-driven value creation work for PE clients and their portfolio companies. --- ### About the Role This posting covers three levels: **Staff Software Engineer**, **Senior Staff Software Engineer**, and **Executive Director, Software Engineering**. We’re hiring engineers who set the technical bar for how the AI Lab builds—not just shipping an agentic system end-to-end, but deciding how every pod builds agentic systems: which orchestration patterns get reused, what “production-ready” means for an eval framework, and when a client problem needs a genuinely new architecture rather than another RAG pipeline. You’ll operate at the intersection of hands-on engineering and technical leadership. Expect to spend real time in the code and real time in the room with CFOs and PE operators defending the call you made. This is a highly technical role at every level in this posting—technical depth is the qualifying bar, not a management-track substitute for it. *Note: The provided description appears to be truncated after “You will be expected to...”.*
