We Are:
Accenture is recognized as a global leader in AI and cloud transformation, helping businesses across industries reimagine the digital core for an AI-native operating model. Through partnerships with frontier AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and the leading cloud providers, Accenture delivers end-to-end services that drive innovation and business agility.
The Digital Core Reinvention practice does work few others attempt: methodically excavating what is actually inside an enterprise's code and process before anyone dares to transform it. Code Archaeology is that discipline - AI agents digging through millions of lines of legacy so the transformation stands on evidence, not folklore.
You Are:
A senior practitioner who would rather spend a week inside a million lines of COBOL than a day inside a tidy summary and who is ready to own the discipline itself: the methodology, the tooling, the quality bar, and the named technical point of view we put in front of clients and the market.
This is the senior technical track at Accenture: we hire people here who would rather own a methodology than carry a number.
The Work:
As an Associate Director in this family, you are the technical owner of Code Archaeology. Concretely, that means three things at once:
Methodology Ownership
Own the evidence-first discovery methodology, including the five discovery domains, correlation across them, and the discovery-to-architecture handoff.
Define what is in scope and out of scope for archaeology engagements.
Defend the methodology against scope drift from both technical and business perspectives.
Asset Portfolio Ownership
Own the archaeology tooling, knowledge graph pipelines, and language-coverage roadmap, including mainframe-era languages.
Ensure every major engagement either consumes or contributes to the asset portfolio.
Decide which assets should be standardized and productized.
Technical Point of View Leadership
Serve as the public technical voice of the discipline.
Lead conference presentations, client architecture councils, and technical thought leadership initiatives.
Shape and communicate the market perspective on why excavation must precede transformation.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
Here's What You Need
Minimum of 12 years in enterprise software engineering, including significant brownfield modernization at multi-million-LOC scale.
Minimum of 3 years leading large-scale architectural discovery or modernization engagements, with at least one you can speak to in detail as the named technical owner.
5+ years working fluency with knowledge graphs and ontology modeling ( skill matrix for this family: Ontology, Knowledge Graph, Data Taxonomy), plus static analysis, dependency analysis, and Git history mining.
2+ years of hands-on work with LLM-assisted code analysis.
Minimum 3 years of experience leading the development,…
