As a team:
A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation, agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our teams embed deeply with customers, orchestrating people, tools, and processes to move projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.

As a AI Native Engineer:

• You will bring 2 years of experience building cloud-native solutions and orchestrating cross-functional initiatives.
• You combine hands-on engineering depth with the creativity and product intuition needed to shape solutions that work for real users and enterprises.
• You're as comfortable writing production code as you are whiteboarding system designs, facilitating client workshops, or mapping out product roadmaps.
• You thrive in ambiguity and act as a bridge between vision and execution.

Responsibilities:

• Product Orchestration: Partner with business and technical stakeholders to frame problems, align priorities, and translate needs into orchestrated AI workflows.
• Agent Architecture & Engineering: Design and engineer enterprise-ready AI agents - including retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
• Creative Problem Solving: Prototype novel solutions that blend technical rigor with human-centered product thinking.
• AI Platform Integration: Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and enablement.
• Cloud-Native Product & Software Engineering: Apply containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability to create and integrate scalable AI-native systems.
• Domain-Specific Workflows: Tailor and deploy agentic applications across industry verticals (e.g. finance, healthcare, retail) - addressing domain-specific processes via intelligent automation.
• Storytelling & Communication: Lead design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions; communicate technical tradeoffs and solution impact clearly to both executives and engineers.
• Measure & Improve: Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness
• Knowledge Sharing: Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices to influence internal assets and client roadmaps.

We are looking for experience in the following skills:

• Minimum 2 years engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
• Deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
• Strong experience with AI platforms - OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models - including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
• Strong programming experience in Python, Java, C# or equivalent; familiarity with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and agent observability.
• Experience deploying to production - CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging.
• Excellent client communication and collaboration skills - able to orchestrate across stakeholders, run design workshops, and deliver under ambiguity.
• A creative, product-oriented mindset - you don't just code solutions, you design experiences that stick.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent; additional AI certifications or agentic tool experience is a plus.

Bonus Points If:

• You've served as a Product Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Agentic AI Engineer in an enterprise environment.
• You've defined or worked with enterprise-grade architectures for compound AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agent registry/stream-based architectures.
• You master the AI-native paradigm - blending cloud-native with generative model architectures - optimizing for performance, modularity, and efficiency.
• You've delivered solutions across multiple industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) by tailoring agentic workflows to industry needs.
• You've demonstrated creative solutioning (e.g., hackathons, product incubation, startup experience).

What's in it for you
At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes up to 30 days' vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!
