AI Native SW Engineering Specialist / Sr Consultant

Accenture; Greater London; Vor Ort; GBP 120.000 - 170.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Accenture in London and Birmingham is seeking an experienced AI Engineer to design and deploy production-grade agentic systems. You will own end-to-end architecture, from multi-agent orchestration to observability, and collaborate with client teams to move beyond pilots into production.

The role emphasizes hands-on work with LangGraph/CrewAI/AutoGen, OpenAI/Anthropic/Vertex AI integrations, and robust MLOps practices.

Qualifikationen

• Extensive software engineering experience in production environments.
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment.
• Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen.
• Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code.
• RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering.
• LLMOps fundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability.
• Cloud-native engineering: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC.
• Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language; production debugging and observability experience.

Aufgaben

• Design and build production-grade agentic systems end-to-end.
• Build and own RAG pipelines: embeddings, chunking, vector search, context engineering.
• Integrate and abstract across multiple LLM providers with routing and cost management.
• Implement LLMOps in production: eval harnesses with real quality metrics and observability.
• Embed with client engineering teams to prototype and deploy agentic solutions.
• Build reusable patterns, accelerators, and playbooks for future engagements.
• Define and use metrics to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost.

Jobbeschreibung

Job Description

You build the systems thatactually makeAI work in enterprise environments, not demos, not prototypes that stall after a pilot, but production agentic architectures running inside real client organizations. The difference between an AI Engineer and what we are looking for is straightforward: you have shipped a multi-agent system in production, you have owned the eval harness, and you know what happens when your agent fails at 2am because you have lived it.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build production-grade agentic systems end-to-end: multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, policy-based routing, tool invocation, memory management, and lifecycle observability
• Build and own RAG pipelines: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector search, context window engineering and tuning against real quality targets
• Integrate and abstract across multiple LLM providers - OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, and open-source models - with fallback routing, token, cost, and latency management
• ImplementLLMOpsin production: eval harnesses with real quality metrics, prompt versioning, observability tooling (LangSmith, Braintrust, or equivalent), cost and safety monitoring
• Embed directly with client engineering teams to design, prototype, and deploy agentic solutions - workshops, proofs of concept, code-with sessions, and architecture walkthroughs
• Build reusable patterns, accelerators, and playbooks that scale beyond the individual client engagement and enable the next one to start faster
• Define and use metrics to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost-effectiveness; present findings and recommendations to client stakeholders in business terms

Qualification

• Extensive software engineering experience in production environments
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment - non-negotiable
• Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks:LangGraph,CrewAI,AutoGen, or equivalent - at production depth, not tutorial level
• Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code: provider abstraction, token management,latencyand cost tradeoffs
• RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering
• LLMOpsfundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability
• Cloud-native engineering maturity: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, andIaC(Terraform or Helm)
• Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language acceptable; production debugging and observability experience
• Quality of experience is weighted over years, a candidate who has shipped three production agentic systems in four years is preferred over a generalist with passive AI exposure

Locations

• London
• Birmingham
