Embedded AI Solutions Architect

Accenture UK & Ireland; Greater London; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture UK & Ireland seeks a Forward Deployed AI Engineer embedded with enterprise teams to deploy AI platforms at scale, ensuring time-to-value, adoption, reliability and security.

You will partner with client engineers to transform ambiguous problems into production systems, design architectures across data, identity, and governance, and create reusable patterns that endure beyond the engagement.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Experience with AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models — including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
• Experience leading software engineering teams: overseeing delivery, allocating resources across workstreams, and owning the professional development of direct reports
• Demonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership in a client-embedded environment.
• Proven ability to articulate business value: can quantify the impact of deployments in terms a CFO would recognize and act on
• Experience presenting to and building trust with senior client stakeholders, CTO, CFO, or CISO level
• Non-linear profiles are expected and welcomed, assessment is based on demonstrated deployment experience and outcome ownership, not CV pattern matching
• People lead responsibilities: experience managing, developing, and performance-managing a team of engineers; setting individual development plans and conducting career conversations

Responsibilities

• Embed directly with client engineering and business teams to deploy, scale, and operationalise AI platforms inside enterprise environments.
• Own production outcomes end-to-end: time-to-value, reliability, adoption velocity, and scalability.
• Move from ambiguous business problem to working production system through rapid experimentation: days to prototype, weeks to production-ready.
• Design and govern AI architectures across the full enterprise stack, spanning identity, data, security, governance, platform layer, and workflow integration.
• Build reusable patterns, playbooks, and accelerators that the client owns after you leave, and codify delivery learnings that scale across engagements
