Sr. Director, Engineering

Keystone is a premier economics, technology, and strategy consulting firm built to help companies lead through transformation. As breakthrough innovations reshape industries, redefine competition and change our society, complex and highly competitive ecosystems emerge. Keystone advises technology leaders, Fortune 100 companies, their legal counsel, and governments on business, economic, litigation, and regulatory strategy in relation to these innovations and competitive eco-systems. We operate globally from offices in Boston, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., London, Dubai, and Bengaluru.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Director of Engineering to lead the architecture, software and application management, integrations, and reliability of the platforms that power how Keystone operates. As the firm expands its business lines and geographic reach — and grows the organization to meet our clients’ needs — the ability to scale the systems that support client delivery, operations, and corporate workflows is central to Keystone's ability to grow.

This role sits at the intersection of IT, Product, and Engineering, focused on evolving Keystone's technology stack into a coherent, resilient operating environment. Two priorities shape the near-term charter. First, investing thoughtfully in architecture for scale and resilience — hardening the integrations, data flows, and platform foundations the firm depends on, so the environment’s design incorporates growth as a leading tenet. Second, investing deliberately in AI as a source of leverage for consultants and operators — automating manual effort, accelerating workflows, and scaling the firm's collective capability.

The technology environment supports a customer relationship management platform, a cloud financials and ERP platform, multiple frontier generative AI providers, hyperscaler cloud infrastructure, a cloud data warehouse, an enterprise productivity and collaboration suite, an enterprise content management platform, and a broader portfolio of third-party SaaS applications supporting client delivery, resource planning, knowledge management, HR, Finance and other corporate workflows.

This role partners with the VP for Technology & Product to set the technical roadmap, drive DevOps and reliability practices, and ensure engineering delivers measurable business outcomes. This role works closely with Product Management, Security, Cloud and AI leaders, and the business function leaders whose workflows depend on these systems every day.

You will take well-defined and ambiguous technical problems, shape them into architectural direction, engineering execution, and operational discipline that hold up at scale, and drive outcomes through a mix of leadership, hands-on judgment, vendor management, and stakeholder partnership.
