Accenture UK & Ireland; Dublin; On-site; EUR 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Accenture UK & Ireland is seeking an AI Engineer (Agentic/Applied) to design, build, and deploy production-grade agentic AI systems across the enterprise stack. You will work directly with client engineering teams, lead technical design sessions, and develop reusable patterns and accelerators that scale beyond individual engagements.

This role sits at the heart of enterprise AI engineering, with exposure to LangGraph, OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, and open-source models, plus hands-on experience

Qualifications

• Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production environments.
• Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent.
• Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code with provider abstraction, token management, latency and cost tradeoffs.
• RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering.
• LLMOps fundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability.
• Cloud-native engineering maturity: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC (Terraform or Helm).
• Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language; production debugging and observability experience.

Responsibilities

• Design and build production-grade agentic systems end-to-end.
• Build and own RAG pipelines: embeddings, chunking, vector search.
• Integrate and abstract across multiple LLM providers with fallback routing and cost management.
• Implement LLMOps in production: eval harnesses, prompt versioning, observability.
• Embed with client engineering teams to design, prototype, and deploy agentic solutions.
