Technical Director | Digital Engineering & AI | $250k Remote - US East Coast

Job Description

Ingenio is partnering with a leading digital engineering consultancy to hire a Technical Director to join its growing delivery organisation.

This is a senior, client-facing technical leadership role for someone who has built and architected complex software solutions, led multiple engineering teams and can operate comfortably with both developers and C-level clients.

This is not a Programme Director or traditional Delivery Manager role. Strong technical credibility, including practical AI experience, is essential.

What you’ll do:

\n
• Lead the technical direction and oversight of complex digital engineering programmes across multiple teams.
\n
• Work directly with senior clients, understanding the business problem and translating it into the right technical solution, architecture and delivery approach.
\n
• Shape solutions across discovery, pre-sales and delivery, including team structure, timelines and technical approach.
\n
• Oversee technical execution, working closely with Tech Leads and engineering teams to ensure quality and keep delivery on track.
\n
• Identify technical risks early, course-correct where needed and act as a trusted technical advisor to clients.
\n
• Help shape modern solutions across software engineering, cloud, data and AI.
\n

What we need:

\n
• A strong software engineering / technical background with proven experience designing and architecting complex solutions.
\n
• Practical AI experience — exposure to designing, building or integrating AI-enabled solutions. Candidates must be able to demonstrate how they've applied AI in real-world technical environments, not simply discuss it at a strategic level.
\n
• Experience leading multiple engineering teams and large-scale technical programmes — not just a single development team.
\n
• Strong client-facing experience, with the ability to engage credibly with CIOs, CTOs and senior business stakeholders.
\n
• Broad technical expertise across software engineering, architecture, cloud and modern development practices rather than deep specialism in one area.
\n
• The ability to take a business requirement and confidently explain how it should be built, the architecture, team required, timelines and delivery approach.
\n

Consultancy, professional services and pre-sales/discovery experience are all highly valuable, but technical credibility, including demonstrable AI experience, combined with scale and strong client leadership, are the non-negotiables for this hire.
